I kind of stumbled onto this program a little over a year ago while surfing through the guide. I've been hooked on it since. Though history wasn't one of my best subjects in school, it was interesting because I had a few teachers who were passionate about teaching. As passionate as they were, Stan Ellsworth's passion for history is leagues above. I love that he's out there on his "Iron Horse" as well. If teachers in general presented their subject matter like he does, we wouldn't be trailing the most of the world in many aspects of education. No matter where he and the crew are, whether it be in the Rocky Mountains doing a story about finding the Northwest Passage to New Orleans revisiting the Louisiana Purchase, to Normandy Beach and D-Day, you can't help but get caught up in it. From being excited about discoveries of the famous explorers of America to the somber feeling of lives lost in the battles for our independence or against the German war machine in Europe, and interviews with survivors, you are there with them. It's that fascinating. I've recorded many of the episodes and often will watch a half dozen in a row. Thanks for bringing us back to reality, Stan, Harley Davidson and the rest of the crew.
