Review by Library Journal Review

This four-DVD set encompasses the entire first season of the History Channel series Cities of the Underworld, which shows the viewer areas that are either inaccessible or not readily known to the casual tourist. Who ever knew that there were tunnels underneath Portland, OR, where shanghaied sailors were taken before being shipped off to the East? Or that there is an entire city buried under modern Edinburgh, Scotland? The host gives a good overview of not only the site but the background of what led to the creation of these underground spots. The episodes cover various historical periods, from ancient Rome to more modern America. This is a solid program for anyone interested in knowing more about these lesser-known archaeological sites.-Kathleen Loomis-Sacco, SUNY at Fredonia Lib. (c) Copyright 2010.
