The Series Begins with the birth of some of the work's most ancient mountains, the Appalachians. It traces the evolution of the Great Forest, which blankets the region, sheltering unique mosaic of plant and animal life. We see Appalachia's Native Peoples at the time of European contact- vibrant adaptive cultures with finely tuned relationships to the natural world. THe arrival of the Europeans signals vast upheavals for every form of life.
