Following years of land encroachments by American settlers, Chief Little Turtle of the Miami leads the Indian Nations of the Northwest Confederacy to a major victory over the fledgling U.S. Army. But a new force under General "Mad" Anthony Wayne embarks on a counteroffensive, leading to a final battle that will see the Confederacy defeated - and open a new era of westward expansion.
The eight-episode documentary series provides a fresh look at the sweeping and complex history of the American West through a wide range of conflicts - all driven by the desperate struggle to control the land itself. Transcending the clichés of the 'Wild West', each one hour episode will capture multiple perspectives on the stories that not only defined an era but continue to shape our country today.
