Description from the packaging.

An incredible ride through U.S. history!

Take an incredible ride through American history- and have the adventure of a lifetime!

In this adventure CD-ROM, travel through time in your very own flying machine: the sleek, space-age hoverjet; the homemade sputter-clunker; the high-flying hot air balloon. You make the flight plan. Pick any state or region on the map, click your mouse and you're off on an incredible ride through U.S. history.

Meet famous American pioneers from Christopher Columbus, Mark Twain and Harriet Tubman to Neil Armstrong and the real Pocahontas. Explore the places where history really happened- the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, the Grand Canyon and the Alamo.

3-D graphics, narrated stories and colorful video clips take you on a personal tour. Your adventure changes with ever take-off and landing- because you set the course!

Just be careful. There's so much to see and learn, you might just get lost in time- the time of your life!
