The Way West (1): Westward, the Course of Empire Takes Its Way (1845-1864)
American Experience · Season 7, Episode 12
A six-hour documentary of how the West was lost and won, from the time of the Gold Rush in 1848 until after the last gasp of the Indian Wars at Wounded Knee in 1893, when the West was settled, subdued, exploited and incorporated into the American empire. Lakotas, Cheyennes, Kiowas, Poncas, Apaches, Nez Perces and Utes fought back, then watched as everything they had was taken from them, their way of life all but destroyed.
Episode 12 of Season 7 from American Experience — available to stream in HD on any device.
