Here is a compiled list from people that I received information from.  Sorry to
 those who sent info that didn't get on, but I'm still learning.

        EBE produced a series in the 1960Us and early 70Us entitled <Westward
        Movement>.It has 5 titles:  Settlers of the Old Northwest; Settlement
        of the Mississippi Valley; Settling of the Great Plains; Texas and Mexic
 an
        War; and The Gold Rush. They run 15-20 minutes each and are suitable
        for intermediate,jr. high and high school.

Time-Life produced the America series in the 1970Us.  Two titles that
seem appropriate are Part 5: Gone West; and Part 7: Domesticating and
 Wilderness.
Each program is 52 minutes long and suitable from intermediate-up.



Coronet Films issued a revised version of Pioneer Journey Across the
Appalachians in 1982.  It is 14 minutes long and suitable for intermediate
 and jr. high.

PBS released a series in 1991 called Land of the Eagle. There are 8
programs in all.  Most appropriate ones seem to be Vol. 2 Confronting the
 Wilderness; Vol. 4 Across the Sea of Grass; and Vol. 5 Into the Mountains.
 Each program is 60 minutes and suitable for jr. high-up.

Finally, Barr Films did a series around 1990 called American Frontier.
 There are 8 titles:  Frontier Buildings; Jamestown; Law and Outlaws of the
 West; Men on the Frontier; Mining Made the West; Railroads on the
 Frontier; Settlers of the West; and Women of the West.

There are also a number of individual films by various companies that I
have not listed, these are primarily series on the subject.  I can send you
 the annotations, but they are too long for this message.  If you have a
mailing address or fax number, I be glad to send them.  I hope this is
helpful in some way.

        looked at _Rendevous_, a film distributed by the National Audiovisual
Center in 1976.   It is a 10 minute film for junior high-up.  Here is our
annotation:  Describes the frontier life of American fur trappers in Teton
Canyon,Wyoming.  Shows a dramatic re-enactment of some aspects of the
        frontier life of the American fur trappers in the 1820's.
