I remember vividly seeing this miniseries and have never forgotten it. I also read the book and the T.V. version was just as good. I hardly ever attach so much praise to a T.V. program, but to this day it ranks as one of the best ever done and that includes Lonesome Dove" and "Band of Brothers". I am going to try and find a DVD set of the series and add to my library. Sam Elliot was perfect in this role and I have enjoyed his acting from that time. The story was so well told that it really followed the book extremely well. There are many lessons to be learned from this production and deals a great deal with honor and duty. This is the kind of quality work that can be enjoyed time after time.
