The West was won by its pioneers, settlers, adventurers is long gone now. Yet it is theirs forever, for they left tracks in history that will never be eroded by wind or rain – never plowed under by tractors, never buried in compost of events. Out of the hard simplicity of their lives, out of their vitality, of their hopes and sorrows grew legends of courage and pride to inspire their children and their children’s children. From soil enriched by their blood, out of their fever to explore and be, came lakes where once there were burning deserts – came the goods of the earth; mine and wheat fields, orchards and great lumber mills. All the sinews of a growing country. Out of their rude settlements, their trading posts came cities to rank among the great ones of the world. All the heritage of a people free to dream, free to act, free to mould their own destiny. How the West Was Won 1963 starring Carroll Baker & Lee J Cobb & Henry Fonda & Carolyn Jones & Karl Malden & Gregory Peck & George Peppard & Robert Preston & Debbie Reynolds et al, directors John Ford & George Marshall & Henry Hathaway & Richard Thorpe, opening commentary
