Wow. Wow. Wow. Who knew? Certainly NOT I. The infamous gunfight at the ‘O.K. Corral’ was a mere episode in a much more complex and complicated saga — involving the aftermath of the Civil War, U.S. railroads, ‘Wells Fargo‘, U.S Presidents and U.S. politics. This was a tour de force HISTORY LESSON. Kids should be shown this in school to get them hooked on history.
I was NOT expecting what I got from this miniseries. I thought it would just be a ‘bang-bang‘ ‘you-are-dead‘ cowboy series. There was so, so much more. I learnt so much. I was riveted.
Beautifully produced. Bravo. One of THE BEST. Must watch.
