It is a series by Ken Burns. The subtitle is, "America's Best Idea."
I've caught the first three episodes so far. The series has been absolutely spectacular.
You really need to watch it. It's to be on all week. It explains how the National Parks first came about and shows some of the best pictures you will ever see.
 
We have seen it three times in the last few days. Since we spend a lot of time at Yosemite (and have been to Yellowstone a couple of times), it interests us quite a bit.
 
I watched the episode on John Muir and Yosemite night before last. Having actually read a lot of Muir's writings, I hafta say the show was very well done and did real justice to Muir.
