America: The Story of Us - Season 1 - Eps 3: Westward
As the American nation is born, a vast continent lies to the west of the mountains, waiting to be explored. Yet this land is not empty--Native American Indians are spread across the land mass, as are Spanish colonists and French explorers. For the pioneers who set out to confront these lands, the conquest of the West is a story of courage and hardship that forges the character of America.
