I missed these the first time around, and will likely do so again, but looks to be good in light of the upcoming 7YW release... 2:00PM - 3:00PM Frontier: Legends of the Old Northwest Rogers' Rangers Meet Major Robert Rogers, an unorthodox leader who helped create the concept of commando-style fighting and wrote down military rules still used today. His forces, known as Rogers' Rangers, with their knowledge of the terrain, camouflage, and surprise attack, gained the upper hand in the British struggle with the French in America. TV G 3:00PM - 4:00PM Frontier: Legends of the Old Northwest Pontiac's Rebellion Looks at the conflicts and personalities that fueled the Native-American resistance of 1763 when Ottawa war chief Pontiac and a consortium of Woodland tribes nearly wrested ten Great Lakes forts from British hands. We'll examine Pontiac's reasons for opposing the British and aiding the French during the French and Indian Wars. TV G 4:00PM - 5:00PM Frontier: Legends of the Old Northwest The Long Knives Story of George Rogers Clark, Revolutionary War general and brother of William Clark of the Lewis & Clark Expedition. Leading a small army in 1777--year of "The Bloody Sevens"--on secret orders from Patrick Henry, Clark launched a series of bold and brilliant strikes against the Redcoats ending in victory in Indiana in 1779. TV G 5:00PM - 6:00PM Frontier: Legends of the Old Northwest Tecumseh: The Dream of Confederacy Traces the rise of the Shawnee warrior Tecumseh and his half-blind brother known as The Prophet. From 1806 to 1808, they summoned a contingent of tribes to a last stand against the white men. Looks at the rivalry between Tecumseh and William Henry Harrison, who rode Tecumseh's defeat at Tippecanoe all the way to the White House. TV G |

Mike, what you don't mean that the Young and the Restless isn't worthwhile TV? |
