Step back in time and learn about America's historic trails and early settlement. In the 19th century, settlers ventured further west than thought possible at the time. The Mormons led the way on the Overland Trail through the plains to the Rockies. The Mormon Trail leads to the final destination of Salt Lake City. Next we retrace the route from the Rockies into California. Driving their steps was the desire to be rich and the chance to strike gold. This program is educational as well as highly entertaining. ~ Laura Mahnken, All Movie Guide
