And our dearly beloved Charles Kuralt who showed us so much of our beautiful country, America, and shared its history with us while we sat on our couches in our living rooms watching the tv....passed away on a July 4th as did our 2 great Presidents Adams & Jefferson. There's something very special about that.
Now Im 80... This is the way to learn American History.... Instead of NEW MATH, we need NEW ways to learn History.... Great Stories!!! Charles Kuralt.... Thank You
I grew up watching On the Road. I am 60 now and found myself wanting to watch this wonderful program. It is just as wonderful as I remember. The closest to this one today are the stories from Steve Hartman. Sadly, I feel he might be the last genuine story teller of America. I hope all of America can really realize what blessings, privileges and freedoms we have here and therefore live like we believe it. God Bless America.
He was a great story teller - all while have two separate families at the same time 😂 - neither aware of each other. I do love the show however - but that was a surprise after he passed!
Yes, "On the Road" was always a favorite in my home also! I myself have that natural wonderlust within myself, don't know why? Genetics, forefathers past lives I'm supposing
It truly takes me back to watching TV with my daddy, and,at times, when I'm in need of some comfort from the stresses of this life, and world, this so much brings me joy ❤️ from a better day of time.Thank you.Thank you Mr.Karault.R.I.P.-And thank you, whomever, put this on the internet.For you've brought back so many comforting memories in my time when I needed comforting 😞🇺🇸💯👍❤️
We had another one like that remember the guy would throw a dart at the map and then find them phone book that went to the town where the dark stuck and pick out a name and do a story on that person
Sadly missed, yes. We should be thankful we got a show like this once. People who are special, and the things they do, are not to be taken as replaceable.
Charles Kurlat took the only job I ever wanted! Just kidding, but what an extraordinary assignment he had; traveling the U.S. on someone else's dime and exploring our great nation!
Such a talent, exuding his love of America. I always looked forward to his 'good news' segments, which live on with Steve Hartman and shows he inspired like "Texas Country Reporter".
My many times Great Grandfather became friends with Rodger Williams when they came to America. They settled in Salem , my Grandfather was a Mason and a judge. When Mr. Williams was sentenced to be hung , Grandfather Barney spoke for him and convinced the court to free him. After the Salem trials for witchcraft , my family moved to Swansea , Massachusetts and religious freedom. Swansea is close to Rhode Island.
That last segment regarding the town in Vermont touched me deeply. Perhaps that is when and where the wave of an ideal western democracy crested, and we are now headed inevitably and inextricably back into the trough.
I wonder what's become of some of these people since then, I know most have gone on to their rewards as it were and if any of the families are still alive
Ive always felt that I'd rather have lived during the middle of the 20th century, give or take a couple decades... you can keep all the technology, sure it's convenient, but I'd rather have lived the American dream when it was actually something and there wasn't all this crazy bs going on like now
"Knowledge means a job, and a job means freedom" - said the Civil Rights Movement a generation ago. Now? "Job mean work; work mean slavery; I ain't no slave. I vote Democrat and they gimme welfare. I's free."
I hope those that participated in January 6th listen to how the great men if the declaration of independence gave us our free country. They could have easily said it is not Worth it. Keeping our democracy requires continuous work. Jefferson was the smartest president ever
At the end of his life, Jefferson wrote: "The mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor the favored few booted and spurred to ride them legitimately by the grace of God." No, not the 'mass' of men, perhaps, but Jefferson's slaves (including the mother of some of his children) were, presumably, born with saddles on their backs, if not by the grace of God, then certainly by the decision of Jefferson. Certainly he never lifted their burdens, set them free, or acknowledged even his own children as legitimate.
I love Charles Kuralt and his show but to characterize Jefferson as an anti slaver is caca de toro. Jefferson himself owned slaves and he Fathered many children with one of his slave women (Sally Hemings) and only set them free upon his death... Kuralt is usually more accurate than this and this is so uncharacteristic of the man (rip).
Until I watched this, I never really thought of the fact that 'the colonies' voting for independence really means a group of men who were not elected by the majority of people (leave out women, blacks, poor people, non-white people who didn't own property) to represent the colonies. It was really a tiny elite who imposed their decision on the rest of the country. Seems like we started as we meant to go on: we're still ruled and dominated by an elite who impose their worldview on us in Congress, the media and academia. We're not free in America. We just have an illusion of it because we vote every few years.
Catholics sing 'Faith of our Fathers' on Sunday morning. Don't know why he thinks that Catholicism can be reduced to a rosary and 'kneeling before a statue of the Virgin Mary.' That's not part of Catholic worship. Never happens 'on a Sunday morning.' But anti-Catholic bigotry is the last bigotry that's still politically correct in the US.
As JFK said. They sure didn’t care what our Faith was when he was sent to the Pacific or when his brother Joe P. Kennedy was sent to his doom on that ill-planned/fated mission. protestants (no caps, no respect) are hypocrites by nature.
Nobody can tell American History like Mr. Kuralt, I learned so much from him. If you could see America today Mr. Kuralt you would be ashamed just like I am. America has become a hell hole with drugs, crime, out-of-control people, etc, etc., etc. When you started talking about California I just thought what a shithole it has become. I am so discussed with the American people, it's a god damned shame!

How I love and miss this America.
Their are still interesting people out there in America. Go find them.
Sadly, it is dead and gone.
You mean the america where people actually were educated and interested in things like history? 😉
@@jeffhumble5144 I hope you are not confusing intelligence and educated

Oh how I love it. How can anyone not ? I'm in my 50's, and it so takes me back ❤️💔❤️🙂🙏🙏❤️❤️
We watched this as kid's with our parents. I sure miss those days life was simpler and so were the older folks in our family.
Miss those great Americans and their thinking. Today we have a travesty going on. We need to get back to America
Endless thanks to you for posting these 😁

Man, those days are gone forever. The governments of the world have taken it all away from us right under our noses.

I looked thru all your playlists & didn't see any titled for Charles Kuralt ? Could you please tell me where it's at ? Thanks

Brave word's from drunk people. 😂. They hade a lot to loose money is the root of our freedom.

Kuralt is usually more accurate than this and this is so uncharacteristic of the man (rip).
He also said the Declaration of Independence was ratified on July 4. Not so. Did they know this in the 70s?
Croatoa...very much like Croatia...

Not much reverence given to the natives.
I miss these days in the better world, back then there was no such thing as a Trump supporter.
The same Kurault that kept a hidden mistress for years while married to his wife? NO THANKS
The same as million others include President Clinton have. Where´s the problem?
Not to rain on the parade,But weren’t hitlers tanks powered by ford motors
Why is the quality of these films so bad, they are only 33 years old, not the 62 years old they appear to be?!
It's from a VCR tape. They are of nortoriously poor quality and not long lived.
