On the Road segments on YouTube

An anonymous fan has digitized for YouTube three segments from Charles Kuralt’s On the Road series that aired on the _CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite_ beginning in 1967. “A Stop Along the [Oregon] Trail,” “Tom Sawyer Days in Hannibal,” and “Thanksgiving in Prairie Mississippi” are beautiful examples of Americana, and a great introduction, for those of us too young to have seen it, to Kuralt’s brand of journalism.
