For hundreds of thousands of men, women and children who fled westward in search of a 'new world', the West was the land of opportunity and adventure- the promised land. The mid-1800s saw a restless nation in search of many things: gold, freedom, rights, property, and a new beginning. But the price of progress was high. Felled by disease, disillusionment, or disaster, many never found what they went looking for. Experience the lives of five Americans who exemplified the triumphs and the tragedies of the time. Their courageous stories will illuminate the people who brought new life to the Old West. Narrated by Kris Kristofferson.
