But if they want to lecture us on why Westward expansion was a racist mistake, they can take “Little House” from my cold, dead hands."

I will say, for shows on Netflix about America's westward expansion, the limited series "American Primeval" was excellent!

Rated R for brutal violence. The depiction of the Mountain Meadows Massacre was the best on-screen battle scene since Saving Private Ryan. The show was exceptionally anti-Mormon, FWIW.

I thought it was great but be forewarned, it is not the feel good movie of the summer.

You should read the account of the Mountain Meadows Massacre written in MASSACRES OF THE MOUNTAINS by Dunn Jr.Published back in 1880s. Brutal! Chapter X. The Fancher train was not the only one attacked. The Shephard and Mitlmore trains were also attacked by “Indians” with beards.
