We're a family of movie buffs and historical films, both fictional and non-fiction, have been a staple in our homeschool since the beginning. The Drive Through History series have captured our children's imaginations and my boys ask to watch them over and over.  They're they're just the right combination of historical information combined with witty humor.  David Stotts, your guide through history, is well-versed in early Church history which is interwoven into each episode.  Originally aired on the History Channel, these DVD's will awaken your family's historical imagination as they tour the actual locations of many of history's greatest events!

Host Dave Stotts goes from England to Boston and then to Philadelphia. The series begins in England with the life of George Whitefield, a Protestant evangelist who was one of the men credited with fanning the revival in the United States known as “The Great Awakening.” Then it’s on to the Boston “Freedom Trail,” the “Old North Church” where the signal was given for Paul Revere’s famous ride, and the warship USS Constitution, (commissioned by George Washington). In episode three, Dave visits some of the most important historical sites in America such as Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Valley Forge, the homes of Betsy Ross and Polish Patriot Thaddeus Kosciuszko. Special emphasis is given to understanding the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. As with all Drive Thru History episodes, the American History Series includes adventure, Dave’s special humor, and the integration of our Christian history. Entertainment and education rolled into one, with more than 80 minutes of content!
