Ken Burns' sweeping documentary reveals an American West stripped of Hollywood mythology, yet filled with drama and legendary heroes and villains. The series depicts effects on the land and Indian peoples by white settlers, adventurers, and exploiters, and how gold in California changed the country. Witness the violence triggered by the Civil War, construction of a transcontinental railroad, and tragedies at Little Big Horn and Wounded Knee.
