      Opy B I adore this show! It is highly outstanding. Hal Holbrook and Elizabeth Montgomery make this show have a solid 10! I was Blessed to locate a DVD of this amazing mini series a couple of years ago. I recommend it to every true American as it depicts our American heritage of that time period most accurately. I am a historical reenactor myself. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Exceptionally well made TV miniseries. Elizabeth Montgomery and Hal Holbrook anchor the film as a couple who seem mismatched but whose differences strengthen their union. Really the story of the growth of a town's gradual formation from the wilderness and a woman's indomitability in spearheading its birth. A strong supporting cast lead by Jane Seymour on her way up and an incredibly young William H. Macy add to the pleasure of this fine entertainment. The only thing missing is a certain grit that would have added to the wilderness feeling of the setting. A very strong showcase for the wonderfully talented and much missed Elizabeth Montgomery. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
