Historical Mystery West

The year is 1837. The American West is untamed, uncivilized, and largely unclaimed. U.S. President Andrew Jackson, in a race with the British and Russians, sends a wagon train of would-be settlers into the uncharted Oregon territory, led by his close friend, mountain man and veteran Sam Brentwood. Teaming up with trail hand Whip Holt, widow Claudia Humphries, and a colorful group of courageous pioneers, Brentwood sets off from New York, heading westward to Independence, Missouri.

Legendary lawman Bill Tilghman is approached by a Hollywood film crew with an offer he can't refuse...starring himself in a moving picture. The premise is simple, film Bill as he stops a bank robbery, but there is one catch. The film crew wants to use real criminals to add to the realism of the film. What's more, they want not just any outlaws, but ones that equal to Tilghman in reputation to make the film more exciting. And this is how Tilghman finds himself alongside of men like Cole Younger and Frank James making a movie the world will never forget.
