Coming to PBS stations nationwide in April 2013! America: From the Ground Up is history like you've never seen it before!
www.americasarchaeology.org
Join series host archaeologist and adventurer Dr. Monty Dobson as he digs into history and investigates the history of America from the ground up. Each episode in the 4 part PBS series explores archaeological sites and uses the clues from the past to tell the history of America's frontier. Whether exploring the mystery of the disappearance of the massive Native American city Cahokia, scuba diving for clues to Revolutionary War naval battles on the Great Lakes or digging into Civil War trenches in Missouri, join Monty for the archaeological adventure of a lifetime. America: from the ground up! It's history as you've never seen it before!
I grew up there and have written a novel about it, The Fetish Of The Sun God. It's cool to see some of my suppositions be validated by archeological evidence. It's great that the world will get such a good introduction to a place and people who are so dear to me. Good on PBS!
