The War that Made America

Julie Young, a recent SHU English graduate who blogged at Work in Progress while she was here, sends this message:

I have a program note for you...on Wednesday night, January 18 and 25 on your local PBS, you can watch The War That Made America....a fantastic dramatic documentary that explores The French and Indian War.

It's really quite interesting -- though weird at first, as it does not have the same boring quality as a Ken Burns documentary. Har har. It's live action, meticulously reenacted, and yes, George Washington is played by an actor and actually has lines. It is also historically accurate to the nth degree, and mostly filmed in southwest PA.

Why am I sharing? Funny you should ask. For work, I was the copywriter and content manager for their promotional website, www.TheWarThatMadeAmerica.com. So, I wrote a goodly bit of copy you'll see there, as well as the historical timeline. So, visit the website, watch the show, and learn about a lesser known, but very important conflict!
