'Centennial' is still, after all these years, one of my favourite TV series of all time..."It matters not how long you live, but how" are wonderful words to live by. The story of Pasquinel & McKeag which takes place over the first two episodes is always a joy to watch. Thank you for uploading this clip, as it's a TV series that deserves to be remembered.
You are absolutely right - James Michener's book is stunning and also deserves recognition as it's importance & significance to the world today has easily gone unnoticed. My copy has a montage painting on the cover of all the main characters as portrayed by the actors in the TV series.
