Proclaimed as TNT network's "most ambitious original production", DreamWorks Television Productions has teamed with the network to present an epic tale of the American west which just concluded over the weekend of July23rd. Executive producer Steven Spielberg hoped to show us what the building of the west was like in a 12 hour miniseries as big as the open ranges upon which the real stories played out.
