STUPENDOUS!!
12 January 2003 | by headshot69 – See all my reviews

A magnificent look at American history.

Angelina Jolie and Dana Delaney were standouts (as usual).

There was laughter, tears, joy, and excitement - and that was just me!!!

I thoroughly recommend this movie as a well acted, and quite accurate from what I've read, drama about the early west.

I LOVE American history, and this movie transported me back to a time that was not THAT long ago, but far removed from the comforts of modern times.
