About this product: What state is America's best-kept secret as a vacation destination? What state gives skateboarders the right of way? And what state is full of citizens who actually like when it rains? The answer is the great state of Oregon, and we'll show you why a trip here will be one you'll never forget on Destination: Oregon. We'll start our trip in Oregon's largest city, Portland, where a rainy day (or night!) doesn't stop its residents from having fun. From super-cool coffee shops, bookstores, microbrews, and all-night donut shops, rain or shine this is one city that never sleeps. But Portlanders aren't the only ones who know how to have a good time. Oregon is a outdoor adventurers' playground. We'll brave the rapids of the mighty Columbia River and hop on a dogsled at majestic Mt. Bachelor. We'll explore the depths of Oregon's volcanic caves and scale the heights of a rock climber's heaven: Smith Rock. We'll cruise top-speed in dune buggies across more than 40 acres of sand dunes, and we'll try sand boarding, Oregon's hippest new sport. From Lewis and Clark to panning for gold to getting "shanghaied" beneath the city streets, Oregon was - and is - an adventure seeker's paradise.

About this product: Why did a half-million Americans walk from Missouri to Oregon? Were they escaping malaria? Seizing land from the British? Seeking out a better life? Classroom-friendly, The Oregon Trail is an easy-to-digest introduction to this historic route, to those who blazed and followed it, and to its pivotal impact on the shape of North America. Although the two-hour series is inefficiently divided between four separate cassettes, each half-hour program is conveniently divided into short two- to four-minute chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of the journey, perfect for fourth- to eighth-grade classroom viewing and discussion.
Excerpts from men and women's diaries, archival photos, and reenactments help the viewer feel what life must have been like on the trail, capturing the fear, heartbreak, and breathtaking sights early pioneers experienced. The videos dispel myths of Native American violence, explaining that the Cheyenne and Pawnee people were far more likely to offer assistance or trade with the pioneers than to attack them. The series avoids in-depth discussion of politics or placing the trail in a larger historical context, focusing instead on the elements that will be most interesting to students: Did more pioneers die from gunshot wounds or being run over by wagon wheels? Why were oxen better than horses? Why did kids walk instead of ride in the wagons? For anyone curious about what life was like on the Oregon Trail, this is a great, easy-to-follow introduction. --Tara Chace
