Trivia:
Though the fictional story of the settlement of the Ohio territory, the miniseries was filmed at the site of the frontier town where the young Abraham Lincoln matured and studied to be a lawyer, New Salem, Illinois. The cabin that Sayward and Portius Wheeler lived in is the recreation of the cabin where Ann Rutledge lived, the woman that Abe Lincoln courted while he lived in New Salem.

I have seen this movie 2 times and could watch it over and over again. I thought that Elizabeth Montgomery's acting ability was great. If you ever get the opportunity to watch this movie, please do. You will be glad you did.
I would be one of the first ones to purchase a copy of this movie, if it was ever released. If anyone knows when and if this movie will be playing again on TV, I would appreciate it if someone would let me know.
I believe that this movie would be an inspiration to anyone who saw it and it's very interesting, as in showing how life was in the early times, and the hard life that was had by most people.
