This mesmerizing six-hour documentary series from acclaimed filmmaker Ric Burns (The Civil War, Coney Island, New York), chronicles the final astonishing decades of the American frontier from the time of the Gold Rush until after the last gasp of the Indian wars at Wounded Knee.

Although this piece is not as long, detailed and comprehensive as Ken Burns' marathon version on the West, it is still a good piece. At least, it serves as an introduction, or is suitable for people who don't like heavy loads. As the subtitle says, it only covers the years from 1845 to 1893. This arrangement is good enough for most people since most events happened during this period, including Custer's Last Stand, Chief Joseph, Red Cloud's ...

Unlike Ric Burns "The West" (which covers everything from the Conquistidors in Mexico to the Indians of the Northwest), this focuses almost entirely on the unending battle for the great plains between native americans and the whites. The photography, the narration, the actors readings, and especially the music are first rate, all lending to a ...

There are amazing images. This is one of the best documentary series ever produced. I am a college professor and I regularly show episodes to my Introduction to America Studies class. The students say it teaches them things they never learned in American history classes before. Rating - SOME FICTION, SOME FANTASY, SOME GREAT PARTS WELL, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS JUNK. MY WIFE IS A DESCENDANT OF THE NATIVE AMERICANS. SO I AM BIASED TOWARDS THE PROTECTION OF MINORITIES. BUT, THAT BEING SAID. I WANT THE TRUTH. I WANT A BALANCED, HONEST, ACCURATE DOCUMENTARY TO WATCH. I DON'T WANT SOME OF THE FACTS WHILE IGNORING MOST OF THE IMPORTANT FACTS. THIS IS NOT AN HONEST PRODUCTION. SHAME ON YOU MR DISHONESTY FOR CREATING THIS KIND OF JUNK. THAT BEING SAID, THERE IS SOME REALY GOOD INFORMATION PRESENTED HERE. I MEAN SOME REALLY INTERESTING AND THOUGHT ...
