This is a handsomely produced series, charting the fortunes (and lack of them) of a Native American people and a
family of white settlers and their descendants seeking a new life over six decades covering some major events in
the history of The Old West. Some contrived coincidences in the ongoing storyline can be forgiven in the guise of
artistic licence and the episodes otherwise hold up well in their characterisations, the action sequences and the splendid photography of the various settings. Rewarding for Western fans prepared to accept a somewhat
bland depiction of the tribal warfare that was well documented for its ferocity in resisting the incursion of white
settlers and those duty bound to protect them.
