PBS is the place to be tonight. Part two of the incredible documentary, Appalachia: A History of Mountains and People airs on most PBS stations later this evening. Check your local listings as they say.
Part One was Great
I wrote a post about part one last week. Incredible television! The pictures were beautiful. Most of the first part of this four-part series dealt with the geological beginnings of the Appalachians, the oldest mountains on earth. The numbers and facts shared were extremely interesting. The mountains of southwest Virginia were specifically mentioned in last week's program.
New Green World
Tonight's second part is called, New Green World. It will showcase some of the first people who lived in the mountains. Native Americans were the first, of course, but then came road builders, cabin builders, pioneers, and Europeans. People like George Washington arrived. Tonight, we'll learn about those people and their struggles.
This is Huge
How popular is this series on PBS? It's huge. I have a friend who works at a Virginia public TV station. She says it's a gigantic hit---all over the country. It's even on Facebook so it must be big, right? Whether you saw part one last Thursday night or not, I encourage you to watch tonight. It's really great television.
Have a Great Weekend
I'm headed to the Fairystone Cabin tomorrow for the weekend. Beautiful weather in a beautiful place. I can't wait! Best wishes for a fantastic weekend.
