We are beyond excited for the premiere of "The American Revolution," a six-part, 12-hour documentary series from Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt! The film looks at America's founding struggle and will present the story of the men and women of the Revolutionary generation, their humanity in victory and defeat and the crisis that they lived through.

We’re on the path to the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and Arkansas PBS is bringing you so many ways to learn about our shared history with multiple events, programs and resources. One great way is through reading!

Curated by PBS Books, the filmmakers and partner organizations, this booklist is designed to complement “The American Revolution” and to spark meaningful exploration of the series, the historical events surrounding the founding of the United States and the enduring ideas of liberty, freedom, democracy and independence.
