Centennial is a great mini-series....the best ever made for TV. The history portrayed, and the characters, are rich and fascinating. You really feel like you get to know these characters and become vested in their life stories. This story of the formation of a city over 200 years is interesting and it really makes one think about the history of other cities all over the world... Who came before us? What were they like? What kind of lives did they live? If you've ever asked yourself these questions, then Centennial is a wonderful story to watch. I highly recommend!!! One of my favorite parts of the story is about the French trapper, and the exiled Scot that he saves from the Native Americans. They form a life long friendship and share many things, including a love for the same woman. Complications arise and the story moves on to the next generation. Other favorite parts of the story are a cattle drive from Texas to Colorado, and on the wagon trail to Oregon when Levi Zendt 'sees the elephant'. A superb accomplishment in television from the 1970's! The end still makes me cry every time I see it.
