      Regarding historical events, I often get caught up in contradictory and contradictory statements and puzzled. For example, the western pioneering history of the United States, I can hear too many contradictory descriptions and evaluations. Some people describe the pioneers who are struggling to...

      The tide of the world is mighty, those who obey will prosper, those who oppose it will perish

      With the purpose of understanding the history of the development of the western United States, I watched the 9-hour 6-episode American TV series "Into the West" produced by HBO and the more than 2 hour movie "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee), both works objectively and impartially reproduce history,...

      Awesome, epic. The characters are rich and individually shaped well. The historical narrative between the American advance to the West and the Indians feels quite plausible. "Sedek Bale" comes to mind. What is prejudice, what is ignorance, what is wisdom, and how the clash of civilizations happened, there are wonderful explanations.

      marvelous. The forerunner is hard and lucky. "I can only leave my grief to the mountains, only they can understand me." Seeing a bit of misunderstanding caused by poor communication by people in the past, they carried out inter-ethnic massacres and hatred. Please don't laugh or lament them, look down and see that we have been repeating this process. "Political correctness" is criticized today because it overcorrects, but don't forget that it is leading the progress of human society.

    Into the West quotes

    • Thunder Heart Woman: [after Jacob was injured by an arrow to the chest, he asks them to leave him behind] Thank you... for finding me... for saving me... and for loving me.

      Jacob Wheeler: Loving you is easy it always has been. But I'll see you again. I know it... Jacob, Young Margaret Light Shines you mind your mother. And never forget who you are. You're one part Lakota, one part Virginia. Abraham High Wolf, remember who you are always and remind your brother Jacob.

      Thunder Heart Woman: [In Lakota] I love you.

    • David Wheeler: [after finding a huge chunk of gold] I think I'll buy me a grand city house with servants to wait on me, like those plantations back home... What about you, Jethro? What are you gonna do with your half?

      Jethro Wheeler: [Laughs] Half? What are you talking about, half? That was my claim. Oh, you'll get your reward but you ain't getting half. I'd say your take is a quarter.

      David Wheeler: I found it.

      Jethro Wheeler: Mmm-Hmm...

      David Wheeler: I found it! You owe me half, you son of a bitch!

      [Both draw their guns]

      Jethro Wheeler: You being family, I'll make it a third. Take it or leave it. Now sit down and have a drink.

      [Both reholster guns and sit down]

      David Wheeler: I found it.
