Location edit

The show was mainly filmed in Jacksonville, Florida, with The Church of the Good Shepherd acting as many different buildings. This site was perfect because the coastal regions looked like the Caribbean, yet the inland regions looked like the areas that explorers of the American north explored.

Episodes edit

The series is divided into four episodes. Each deals with how the major European powers tried to claim each geographic section of the Americas.

  1. Southwest - Francisco Vásquez de Coronado testifies at his trial about the abuses perpetrated under his command during his search for the so-called Seven Cities of Gold.
  2. Southeast - Jean Ribault hatches a daring scheme to wrest La Florida from the Spaniards, but this will only lead to tragedy.
  3. Northeast - English explorer Henry Hudson and his doomed search for the Northwest Passage through America and into Asia.
  4. Northwest - The story of how Russia came to possess Alaska.
