Overview
Theodore Roosevelt must fend off a powerful neighbor, the Marquis de Morés, who is intent on seizing Roosevelt's newly built Elkhorn Ranch in an underhanded land grab. To save his ranch, Roosevelt travels to the home of the Marquis and his beguiling wife, Medora, who is just as cunning as her husband. Back at Elkhorn, Roosevelt's new ranch hands, former lumberjacks Bill Sewall and Wilmot Dow, are attempting to master the saddle when their bronc-busting lessons are suddenly cut short by the arrival of the Marquis' henchmen. For one long night, Elkhorn's very survival hangs precariously in the balance.
About the show
Theodore Roosevelt is bound for greatness—he's a Harvard graduate from a prominent family, a rising politician, and his wife, Alice, is pregnant. Then his promising future turns tragic. His mother succumbs to typhoid, and Alice dies in childbirth on the same day. Devastated, Teddy leaves his urban world of high rises and high society for the desolate Dakota Territory, where, by facing the harsh reality of surviving life on America's frontier, he intends to remake himself into something greater.
