This is a great movie that highlights westward expansion through the eyes of a few characters. The story is a great tool to show how the events such as cattle ranching and early trapping practices could have played a significant part in growing the country. Although probably fictional, the story holds great interest. Highly recommend.

I bought this at my wife's request. It is a lot to watch. She has watched one DVD so far and seems to have enjoyed it. I gave this three stars because I believe this was as expected, no better and no worse. James Michener usually does a good job of telling stories.

Amazing array of well know actors. It was very entertaining and seemed like it was realistic of the times it covered--especially the very early days of the trappers & early settlers. Also, was interesting about the Indian tribes. Loved the DVD.

My headline says it all. Centennial is the greatest TV miniseries of all time. Highly engaging from the start with such memorable characters that when I think of the actors I always think of who they played in this miniseries. You can't go wrong with this series and having it missing from your collection is just flat out wrong.

Although it is historical fiction it gives a picture of the building of America. I use the book in the genealogy classes I give. Now I use the film as well. Along with being educational it is entertaining as well. Genealogists often see their own ancestors in the characters.
