1883 was the birth year of my sainted Grandmother Marie Alicia Vincent Turner who died in 1989. Great lady, the daughter and wife of farmer-ranchers. It turns out there's a western series called "1883" Well because of the date and nothing else I decided to watch one of the early episodes last night. The principles are Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Sam Elliott with some pretty darn good actors in supporting rolls. Billy Bob Thornton is blood curdling sinister as Dallas Sheriff "Long Jim" Courtwright.
Its a series about a group of pioneers heading across the plains, its a prequel to "Yellowstone" which I haven't seen at all.
I was surprised at the authenticity in small things. There is a scene where the gal who plays McGraw and Hill's very fetching daughter is lying in the back of a wagon in her shift with some very hairy armpits. Some of the travelers get very ill from drinking water straight from a river without boiling it. All makeup is used to make the actors look like they aren't wearing it. Faith Hill looks very, very rough, for example.
I plan on watching more.
