Episode 9
Eachdraidh Ameireagaidh ann an dath airson a鈥� chiad uair. The story of America鈥檚 past, seen in colour for the first time.
Aig toiseach an fhicheadamh linn, bha an Iar fhathast na 脿ite fiadhaich. Dh鈥� fheuch t貌rr ri cheannsachadh agus chaidh seann sgeulachdan agus uirsgeulan a dh猫anamh de na h-oidhirpean aca 鈥� daoine a鈥� losgadh air a ch猫ile aig OK Corral agus cogaidhean Innseanach. Thairis air an ath shia deicheadan, bhris 鈥楢n Iar鈥� a-mach 脿s a鈥� chumadh seo gu bhith na 脿ite l脿n spionnaidh a bheireadh buaidh air Ameireaga san l脿 an-diugh.
Bho thoiseach t貌iseachaidh chaidh rannsachadh agus smachd a ghabhail air na t矛rean fiadhaich, dh鈥� atharraich an Iar gu bhith na 脿ite neartmhor poilitigeach agus eaconamach a thug cruth atharrachadh air Ameireaga agus air an t-saoghal air fad. Ach tha t矛rean creagach b貌idheach an Iar, a bha uair gu math m貌r eagalach, fhathast mar a bha iad. Tha am pr貌gram seo ag innse na sgeulachd ann an dath, mu deireadh an 鈥榃ild West鈥�, agus an uirsgeul mhaireannach a chaidh a chruthachadh.
At the start of the 20th Century, The West was still a wild land. Many tried to tame it and their efforts became the stuff of legend and myth - gunfights at the OK Corral and Indian Wars. Over the next six decades 鈥楾he West鈥� broke out of this mould becoming the dynamic region that trail blazes modern America.
From the frontier of exploration and conquering of the wild lands, the West transformed into an economic and political powerhouse, that drove change across America and the world. But the ruggedness and beauty of the land which once made it so formidable still remains. This programme tells the story, in colour film, of the end of the Wild West and the harnessing of its enduring legend.
