1. You can only enjoy this series if you are a history buff.

   I found the whole series very informative and well done. It leads you through the entire life of Horace Tabor and his story in Colorado.

   It answers a lot of unansered questions about the story behind Tabor's romance with Baby Doe.

2. This is history done well. If you are looking for a fast-paced Indiana Jones thriller this may not be the video series for you. Dave Wright's well-researched documentary reveals the truth behind the somewhat glamorized earlier accounts of Baby Doe's life. Enlightening, detailed, educational-- with a bit of western flair! Wright has a way of getting you into the "feel" of the times in the mid-19th to early 20th centuries mining, every day life and the great wealth that was made. I enjoyed this series very much and look forward to more of Wright's work on Colorado's colorful history.

1. A visual treat and an enticing look into the life and times of Pearl Buck. Davidson does an outstanding job interweaving narrative with fact. The end result is a well constructed tapestry that is both visually engaging and profoundly revealing. Women in history are far too often ignored or marginalized - this work serves greatly to counter that unfortunate tendency by exploring the breadth and depth of one of the world's most outstanding women.



2. This film is highly recommended as a way to learn about Pearl Buck and the world she lived in. Told with rare sensitivity and verve, this is the story of a brave woman living in an extraordinary time and place. It will be enjoyed by experts in her work and those who know very little about her.



3. This video is a well composed study of an ordinary woman with an extraordinary background and interests. Highlights are the historical film illustrations, especially of life in China, and personal narratives of Asian history specialists such as John Fairbank. Drawbacks are that the video is a little lengthy and could do with a few less of the personal testimonials, and that some of the more intriguing aspects of Buck's life, such as her role as a major literary figure (was she?), and her motivation to adopt dozens of children into an institutionalized family could have been more deeply investigated.



4. I have always considered Pearl Buck a very interesting personality, but somewhat mysterious. This excellent portrayal of her life lifted the veil and allowed me to see this remarkable lady up close and personal. I highly recommend the film. It's accurate history and very entertaining.

1. Performance poetry? Glenis plays her poetry like an exquisite instrument, producing literary music that has a power that makes the printed page seem small.
