    Große Klassiker des Wilden Westens 2 DVD-Box
    -> Der Mann vom großen Fluss:Im Virginia des Jahres 1863 stürzt der amerikanische Bürgerkrieg den Farmer Charlie Anderson in einen tiefen Konflikt: Da er die Sklaverei ablehnt, mag er die Südstaaten-Armee nicht unterstützen. Als überzeugter Kriegsgegner kann er sich jedoch ebensowenig auf die Seite der Nordstaaten schlagen. So bemüht er sich, seine Familie aus den Wirren jener Zeit herauszuhalten. Doch schon bald holt der Krieg auch die Andersons ein: Der jüngste Sohn wird von Yankees für einen desertierten Soldaten gehalten und verschleppt. Mit der verzweifelten Suche nach dem verlorenen Sohn beginnt für Charlie Anderson ein dramatischer Kampf mit dem Schicksal...-> Blutige Spur:Kalifornien, 1909.

Ihr Vater ist gegen eine Verbindung der beiden, und es kommt zum Streit, bei dem Willie Boy den Alten tötet. Die Liebenden fliehen in die Wüste. Nach den Rechtsbegriffen der Paiute haben sie keine Schuld auf sich geladen, aber die weiße Bevölkerung zwingt Sheriff Cooper zur Strafverfolgung. Cooper, der mit Willie Boy sympathisiert und viel lieber bei seiner Freundin Liz geblieben wäre, bricht denn auch die Aktion bereitwillig ab, als er dem Präsidenten Taft als Bodyguard zugeteilt wird, der gerade Kalifornien bereist. Doch eine Gruppe fanatischer Weißer setzt die Menschenjagd auf eigene Faust fort...-> Die Furchtlosen:Als eine Flut gesetzloser Waffenbrüder in seine einst friedliche Stadt einfällt, weiß Marshal Cass Silver (Robert Ryan), dass er dafür verantwortlich ist, dass sie auch wieder verschwinden.

    Massacre at Mountain Meadows , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 640min
    On September 11, 1857, a band of Mormon militia, under a flag of truce, lured unarmed members of a party of emigrants from their fortified encampment and, with their Paiute allies, killed them. More than 120 men, women, and children perished in the slaughter. Massacre at Mountain Meadows offers the most thoroughly researched account of the massacre ever written. Drawn from documents previously not available to scholars and a careful re-reading of traditional sources, this gripping narrative offers fascinating new insight into why Mormons settlers in isolated southern Utah deceived the emigrant party with a promise of safety and then killed the adults and all but seventeen of the youngest children. The book sheds light on factors contributing to the tragic event, including the war hysteria that overcame the Mormons after President James Buchanan dispatched federal troops to Utah Territory to put down a supposed rebellion, the suspicion and conflicts that polarized the perpetrators and victims, and the reminders of attacks on Mormons in earlier settlements in Missouri and Illinois. It also analyzes the influence of Brigham Young's rhetoric and military strategy during the infamous "Utah War" and the role of local Mormon militia leaders in enticing Paiute Indians to join in the attack. Throughout the book, the authors paint finely drawn portraits of the key players in the drama, their backgrounds, personalities, and roles in the unfolding story of misunderstanding, misinformation, indecision, and personal vendettas. The Mountain Meadows Massacre stands as one of the darkest events in Mormon history. Neither a whitewash nor an expose, Massacre at Mountain Meadows provides the clearest and most accurate account of a key event in American religious history. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Pony Express War: The Derby Man Series, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 384min
    Look sharp, hit hard - that's the Derby Man's style. He's a fast-moving mountain of muscle who throws himself into the thick of the West's greatest adventures - like the Pony Express, a grueling 2,000 mile race through hell. The pace and terrain are deadly enough but vengeful Paiute warriors and murdering saboteurs led by a sadistic giant threaten to turn the route into a trail of blood. Then one man with the guts to save the Pony Express stepped forward - the Derby Man. It's the Derby Man and the glory-riders in a race against Indians, treachery and death. ungekürzt.

    Vivian and the Legend of the Hoodoos , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 5min
    Long ago, the Old Ones were bad. They drank all the water, ate all the pine nuts, and left nothing for the other creatures. Sinawav the coyote punished them by turning them into rocky hoodoos.

Vivian has heard the stories, but this year as she and her grandmother climb the mesa to pick pine nuts, Vivian has something more important on her mind: basketball tryouts.

    Blood of the Prophets: Brigham Young and the Massacre at Mountain Meadows , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1217min
    The massacre at Mountain Meadows on September 11, 1857, was the single most violent attack on a wagon train in the 30-year history of the Oregon and California trails. Yet it has been all but forgotten. Will Bagley's Blood of the Prophets is an award-winning, riveting account of the attack on the Baker-Fancher wagon train by Mormons in the local militia and a few Paiute Indians. Based on extensive investigation of the events surrounding the murder of over 120 men, women, and children, and drawing from a wealth of primary sources, Bagley explains how the murders occurred, reveals the involvement of territorial governor Brigham Young, and explores the subsequent suppression and distortion of events related to the massacre by the Mormon Church and others. ungekürzt.

But Horace, half white, half Paiute Indian, dreams of bigger things. Leaving behind the farm and its fragile stability, he heads south to reinvent himself as the Mexican boxer Hector Hidalgo.
