    Michener's novel "Centennial" was first published in 1974. "The Immigrants" wasn't published until 1977.

    I just re-read the book Centennial a few months ago. Long, but enjoyable as historical fiction goes.

    I remember the era of the TV mini-series. I recall Roots being one of the first.

    My first visit to Colorado was in 1978. Never thought I'd live here, but you never can tell where life may take you or when opportunities will present themselves.

    I will have to check out a copy of the TV show just to see how close it is to the book and see if I recognize any of the scenery.
