President Thomas Jefferson’s acquisition of more than 800,000 square miles of land from France in 1803 was a remarkable chapter in American history, all the more fascinating for it being so unexpected – and so cheap. CBS News’ Charles Kuralt tells the story, and does so in a bizarrely appropriate location: the middle of an Arkansas swamp. (Originally broadcast Feb. 13, 1976.)
