DVD Reviews of The Real West: Cowboys & Outlaws (History Channel)
DVD Review: The Old West...Partly Truth;Partly Fiction.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Old West is an amazing part of American History.Though it is not a precise time period;generally it is taken to be fron 1865 (end of the Civil War)to the turn of the Century.This in not precise,because much of what went on in the West happened before that,and many of those who took part in "The Old West",particularly in the 70's,and the 80's were in their 20's and 30's lived well into the first quarter of the 1900's.
This collection of 4 DVD's of 8 hours and 40 minutes attempts to tell what happened,who were the famous participants,what the truth was and what and why there is so much fiction and legends about it all.
The main narrator throughout is Kenny Rogers ,whose very appropriate voice and demeanor was an excellent choice to tell the story.He is assisted with a number of experts on the subject,curators of western historical museums and writers.There are numerous quotations through the stories giving first hand accounts of their experiences.
The photography of the country is excellent,the soundtrack adds greatly to the stories,and there is a plethora of photographs from the whole period.
It is obvious that many different people were involved in the production;and there is some repetition as the DVD's are watched.
No doubt the treatment of everything is very brief,but only so much can be squeezed into so little time;and even then the surface is barely scratched.
I think this collection would be greatly enjoyed by both long time fans of the movies and books of the Old West as well as someone who is just looking for an overview of this period.
