The American Revolution
One Nation's Rise to Independence
Volume 4

BIOGRAPHY: GEORGE WASHINGTON: FOUNDING FATHER

BIOGRAPHY takes a close look at the one man who more than any other symbolized the spirit and values of the world's first democratic nation. A gentleman farmer from Virginia who proved to be a brilliant and bold tactician as well as a leader of men, this compelling documentary explores the truths behind the myths, and draws an indelible portrait of an American hero who remains-in the words of Henry Lee- "First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen."

BIOGRAPHY: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: CITIZEN OF THE WORLD

Beyond the folk her who discovered electricity and spouted a popular brand of earthy, no-nonsense wisdom through the still published Poor Richard's Almanac, was a unique individual whose brilliant diplomacy helped lead America into a new world. Through expert commentary, archival material, and Franklin's own writings, BIOGRAPHY examines the true life behind one of history's most captivating figures.
