SE Wyoming Just finished watching the final episode tonight. It is based on the book by James Michener. I'll read the book when it gets here from Amazon. There are twelve episodes starting with the very first white men in this area, and following the same town through the 1970's.
It's based upon Greeley Colorado and the surrounding area. The mini series ran in 1978-79. I watched it on Encore on demand. It is of course historical fiction, but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the movies.
Quite the line up of actors too. Looks like it is on YouTube as well. I would highly recommend it, kind of gives you a brief synopsis of the Colorado, Wyoming history. Edit to add: here's another link explaining the correlation between the fictional characters, and places with their real counterparts.

Well done, makes you really appreciate what it took to settle and live in this area. Posted 1/1/2015 22:21 (#4280964 - in reply to #4280916) Subject: RE: Anyone ever see the Centennial mini-series?
Marianna Arkansas I read the book years ago. Was real good. Posted 1/1/2015 22:28 (#4280975 - in reply to #4280916) Subject: RE: Anyone ever see the Centennial mini-series? Southern Ab You will enjoy the book for sure. Its such an epic story there's no way the series could capture it all. Of Michener's books I would place Centennial, Chesapeake and Caravans as his best.

I see Brad Pitt is producing a Lewis and Clark miniseries filmed partly in Alberta over the next year. That's sure to be a good one.

Yup, I read the book and remember watching the series. Back when they made quality movies. Posted 1/1/2015 23:36 (#4281059 - in reply to #4280916) Subject: RE: Anyone ever see the Centennial mini-series? Yes, best mini series ever. I've read most of Mitchem's books and I think Centennial was the best. I bought the series in video format and have watched it 3 or 4 times.
I believe Netflix has it in DVD also. Besides Colorado it shows how the Platte River (it goes through our farm in Nebraska ) was a westward highway from the trappers to the settlers.

Thanks for the reminder. Posted 1/2/2015 07:20 (#4281245 - in reply to #4280916) Subject: RE: Anyone ever see the Centennial mini-series?
Urbana, OH I bought it about a year ago, it's a great series! Sounds like the book should be next on my list! Posted 1/2/2015 10:50 (#4281626 - in reply to #4280916) Subject: RE: Anyone ever see the Centennial mini-series? Fruita CO Yep, one of the best. Lonesome Dove being THE best. That being said, historical fiction has a way of becoming 'history'.
Statements by a character in that book were later cited by 'historians'as something an ancestor of mine actually said.

Statements by a character in that book were later cited by 'historians'as something an ancestor of mine actually said. Ron, I completely agree with taking fiction for what it is. Historically based or not it is all just a story. If you don't mind me asking, would you mind me asking about your ancestor? I have found as the older I get, the more I enjoy history.
