She is befriended by Charlotte Copper and they become very close friends. Dr. Mike decides to look for permanent housing and receives an offer from a local man, Sully, to stay at his old homestead since no one was using it now. Charlotte calls on Dr. Mike to help deliver a baby and Dr Mike enlists Charlotte help to clean the homestead along with her sons Matthew and Brian, and her daughter Colleen.

Dr. Michaela 'Mike' Quinn: [voiceover narration] I was born on February 15, 1833, in Boston, Massachusetts, the last of five children - the four before me all girls. My father, being a man of science, firmly believed that the odds were to finally dictate the birth of a long awaited son. He would be named Michael... I was named Michaela.

Trivia
Dr. Quinn came to Colorado Springs after answering an ad in their newspaper looking for a doctor. She signed it as Michaela Quinn however, telegrapher Horace Bing thought it was a typo and suppose to say, "Dr. Michael A. Quinn". See more »Goofs
When Dr. Mike and Sully go to hunt for Brian when he has run away, as they start up the craggy mountain just above Sully's head you can see a crew member trying to get in place for the shot of wolf running past him. The white sneakers in the green brush. See more »Quotes

I didn't start watching this show until the second season. I was instantly hooked, and I regretted terribly that I hadn't started watching from the beginning. I was disappointed with the recasting of two characters, but these things happen.
Other than that, the casting is excellent. Jane Seymour, of course, is always an excellent actress, full of poise and grace. Best of all, this show uses *actual* races to play the represented races (e.g., Native Americans play Native Americans, Hispanics play Mexicans, Chinese play Chinese, etc.)!
This show has tugged on my glad heart strings, has made me cry, angry, and has made me long for more. The acting sucks you in, the storyline keeps you coming back for more.
I disagree with those who have compared this to Little House on the Prairie, but it stands alone just fine.
