The Way West

A gruff and ambitious ex-Senator drives a group of pioneers westward, but his inflated ego gradually erodes morale and sparks rebellion among the travelers.

In the 19th century, Senator William J. Tadlock guides a group of settlers on a perilous overland journey to establish a new settlement in the Western United States.
