No Western Like It

Have you seen "Into the West"?  It was a mini-series on TNT.  I am watching the DVDs from Netflix.  Steven Spielberg was the executive producer.  The music and backdrops are awesome.  There are folks in it you'd recognize.  I dozed off during the first episode and missed some stuff, but I don't blame the show.  I haven't been sleeping well and was exhausted.  I think I spent the second episode's hour and a half bawling my eyes out.  People were dropping like flies!  Here's someone trampled by a cow.  There goes another falling out of the wagon during the river crossing and drowning.  Then the ever classic "You have died of dysentery."  (I'm quoting the old computer game "Oregon Trail" - just explaining for you youngsters out there.)  Well, no one said that exactly, but you get the idea.  Now I'm sad I don't have the next disc yet.  Anyway.  If you get the chance and have any interest in westerns, you should watch this series.  I might have to add it to my wishlist.  The DVDs must be on Amazon somewhere.
