Rivers, Roads, Rail & Air VHS
$29.95
Hop on board the Northern Pacific Railroad, take a ride on an ox cart, or cruise down the Missouri river for a whirlwind tour of North Dakota's transportation history. Produced by Prairie Public Television and the North Dakota Department of Transportation, this program shows how transportation has changed throughout history and how history has been tied to those changes.
Transportation affects almost every aspect of our lives. Not only does it affect how we get from one place to another, but it determines the price of the clothes we wear, what food we have available to eat and, perhaps, how our ancestors chose to come to this area.

The Rivers, Roads, Rail & Air teaching guide is a companion to the video and can be used to stimulate classroom discussion or assignments regarding transportation in North Dakota and at a national level.
