Hear, Hear! I just saw this movie on DVD and it was amazingly good! One of the good/bad/great things about this movie is that there is no naration, no backstory to speak of, and just one title stating that the year is 1845. After I saw this movie, I went to the internets to find out why so many settlers were keen to get to Oregon overland in the first place! Amazing story in itself. See this movie twice right now!
