Dream West

Western locales lend authenticity to a biopic of explorer-politician John Charles Fremont (1813-90), `The Pathfinder', who commanded an expedition to map the Oregon Trail in 1842. The miniseries centers on his interactions with other historical figures, including Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Hart Benton and Kit Carson. Based on a novel by David Nevin.
