Half of the Germans die before the trip is even halfway over, despite the best efforts from Shea and Thomas to keep them alive.

Roaming bandits, roaring rivers, starvation, the coming of winter, and rightfully-vengeful American Indians all make the prospect of actually reaching Oregon or anywhere decent out-West an unlikely one. To assure their survival, James and Margaret Dutton (played by country power couple Music/TimMcGraw and Music/FaithHill) join up with a company of Central European immigrants guided by two experienced cowboys, Shea Brennan (Creator/SamElliott) and Thomas (Creator/LaMonicaGarrett). All this is told to us from the perspective of young Elsa Dutton (Isabel May), our main protagonist and narrator, as she learns to become a lover, killer, and woman in this strange new land.

This leads to the caravan splitting, with Shea, the Duttons, Josef, Noemi and her kids, and Thomas taking the route north to Montana. The pioneers pressing on to Oregon don't even make it out of Wyoming, as end up massacred by bandits.
