The Romantic Invention of Scenic Tourism
(product # 575)

AS SEEN ON PUBLIC TELEVISION

In this one hour historical documentary film you will discover the roots of America's love affair with the wilderness and its natural beauties. This is the story of how the Romantic writers and painters of the early 19th Century created a public demand to experience the spiritual wonders of scenery....and it all began in New Hampshire's White Mountains. These mountains were promoted so widely that they became the central image of a new American identity. In turn, the growing public desire to experience this fabled scenery created the foundation for what we know today as the nationŐs tourist industry. Featuring eminent historians, a wealth of historic paintings and prints, and current scenic video, this program both entertains and informs.

It provides a fascinating glimpse of both New Hampshire and American history. This is a must see for history buffs, travelers and anyone interested in the story of America's passion for experiencing wilderness scenery.
