Pioneiros do Velho Oeste

I have only seen the Daniel Boone episode at this point, but I loved it. They left out a lot, but it's the History Channel and they tend to do that, plus they only had a certain amount of time.

I like how they included Boone's daughter as being a strong woman.

I beg of anyone who knows, to tell me the theme song.

Never have I understood American history like this before! For the first time in my life, there's coherency and continuity from the Revolutionary War to Westward Expansion to the War of 1812 leading up to the Alamo. Before this series, all these events along with their key players were just independent events in American history with no "red strings" between them, now, the names that were somewhat familiar before are heroes with depth and the events pivotal and momentous to build what America is today.

And interesting objects have a powerful influence on our affections. Let these influencing powers actuate, by the permission or disposal of Providence, from selfish or social views, yet in time the mysterious will of Heaven is unfolded, and we behold our conduct, from whatever motives excited, operating to answer the important designs of heaven. -Daniel Boonel

A story about the real men that forged this great nation. Great acting, narration, and beautiful locations. Early American was brutal and these are the men that forged into the wilderness and paved way for young settlers. Only true red blooded Americans will appreciate it.

"90 minutes after the battle begins the Alamo falls..."

I'm not a historian or even a super history buff... BUT... I KNOW that the Battle of the Alamo took 13 days... NOT 90 minutes. Maybe the final siege, AFTER holding out for 12 days, took 90 minutes... But they didn't once mention the previous 12 days of battle that they fought off Santa Ana! The Alamo is one of the greatest standoffs of all time and bought Sam Houston the time he needed to rally enough forces to defeat Santa Ana and secure Texas for America.

I thought this was THE HISTORY Channel.

The rest is entertaining but I'm not sure how accurate now. It's produced well enough.
