How the West Was Won

In the American West, during the lusty, hard-hitting time when laws were frequently broken and progress was charted by individual sacrifice and survival, a family tries to make a life and a home in frontier Oregon, revealing How the West Was Won.

Independent mountain man Zeb Macahan (James Arness), accustomed to the harsh realities of life on the frontier, his sister-in-law Molly (Fionnula Flanagan), who travels west to take care of the Macahan household, and Luke Macahan (Bruce Boxleitner), a fugitive deserter from the Union Army struggle to survive in this dramatic series as big and wild as the land they are trying to tame.
