On the Road with Charles Kuralt: The American Heritage

I'm sure my truckbuddies of a certain age will remember fondly, as I do, the folksy, fascinating reports of CBS newsman Charles Kuralt (1934-1997) from his travels across the highways and byways of America, delivered with an ear for poetry and an eye for natural artistry.

This 1989 compilation explores a number of interlacing threads in the magnificent tapestry of American history - a story, like all human stories, of highs and lows, light and shadow, sinners and saints.  Sadly, it cannot be told in this way today.  All history must now be cut to fit the latest pattern of right or left - and shouted, not said.

So enjoy this before it disappears down the memory hole.
