“Each film in the ‘Famous Moments’ series highlights a true story of historical significance, providing ‘students’ of early America with a better understanding of the people, places and events of this important era. Of added interest for viewers, each film tells its story using scenes and portraits from our collection of Early American Images. Many of the images are primary source documents — engravings, woodcuts and drawings that date back to the early to mid-1800s.”
