Appalachia: A History of Mountains and People

Appalachia: A History of Mountains and People is a four-part series chronicling the riveting history of one of the oldest mountain ranges on earth and the diverse peoples who have inhabited them. The program examines the history of the area, from its geological beginnings until the present.
