The West

As seen on BBC. Produced by Ken Burns, The West tells the full and fascinating story of the American Frontier from 1500 to 1914, intricately weaving together evocative and never before seen photographs and newsreels from seventy-four different archives with journals, American and Native American music, diaries and artefacts. Leading actors from Matthew Broderick to Gary Sinise lend their voices to authentic letters and journals from the era.
