Famous Moments in Early American History -Short Films of Noteworthy Events

Each film in the 'Famous Moments' series highlights a true story of historical significance, providing 'students' of early America with a better understanding of the people, places and events of this important era.
Of added interest for viewers, each film tells its story using scenes and portraits from the Early American Digital Library. Many of the images are primary source documents — engravings, woodcuts and drawings that date back to the early to mid-1800s.
The movies include:
* The Ben Franklin Story
* The Life of George Washington
* Declaring Independence
* Paul Revere, Messenger of the Revolution
* The Shot Heard Around The World
* The Treason of Benedict Arnold
* The Real Face of George Washington
*Molly Pitcher, An American Heroine
