- Cullen Bohannon, a former soldier and slaveholder, follows the track of a band of Union soldiers, the killers of his wife. This brings him to the middle of one of the biggest projects in US history, the building of the transcontinental railroad. After the war years in the 1860s, this undertaking connected the prospering east with the still wild west.- Written by cc ardbeg
- The show introduces real characters such as Thomas Durant, who was responsible for building the railroad from east to west. Bohannon may be the main character, but his adventures are cleverly woven amid real historical events and issues. There werehostilities among whites and recently freed slaves working on the rail line. There were also difficulties with the Irish crews, who weren't considered to be too much better, during those times. Of course there were also conflicts with Indians, who resented the crossing of their territory with total disregard of their sacred places. And of course there are difficulties with the building of the railroad itself, weather problems, difficult terrain, cheating officials, and late payrolls. Also shows the difficult lives of women in the era.

Purchasing this video to stream each week. Its 3 pm, the episode aired yesterday on AMC. Called customer service twice. Its kinda tough to ask questions and hear answers from a customer service rep WHO DOESNT SPEAK ENGLISH! For now at least, in the United States most of us speak English. Soon SPANISH, however, if I cant watch my tv show I paid for, I can purchase this somewhere else. DONT PAY IN ADVANCE FOR A SEASON! I feel like a FOOL, paying for this service..
