Brian and guests travel to the Mojave Desert in the 1940's to see who had "The Right Stuff" at Edwards Air Force Base. Then to Atlanta at the end of the Civil War to witness General Sherman's destructive "March to the Sea."

Brian and guests are on the trail of America's most infamous couple, Bonnie and Clyde. Then to New Orleans to witness the birth of what many say is the American art form, jazz, on a riverboat and a famous country society hall.
