2. MOVIE NIGHT - Tonight's Feature...THE LEGENDARY FRONTIER.

Recounts how the arrival of silver miners, the creation of an empire by cattle ranchers, and the forced dispersal of Native American tribes all served as precursors to a massive movement of farmers into the plains region. This informative program separates the truth from the fiction revolving around cowboys and Indians, with a specific focus on the rising tensions between the groups, from the influence of Chief Joseph to the impact of the Dawes Act and Native American genocide. The documentary also discusses Frederick Jackson Turner, the construction of railroads, settlement in Texas, and lasting impact of capitalism on the growing nation
