Land of the Eagle

The first television series to attempt a comprehensive account of the North American continent's wildlife and wild places. "Land of the Eagle" turns the clock back to reveal North America as it used to be, hundreds of years ago, a story told by the people who lived on it, charted it and shaped it -- the Native Americans and the European explorers and settlers. This eight-part series will explore the great diversity of the continent, revealing the bonds between human history and natural history as it travels from sea to shining sea. Along the way, it will pass through the rugged Canadian wilderness, the swampy Everglades, the sweeping Great Plains, the majestic Rockies, the sweltering deserts, and Alaska -- the first and last frontier.
