Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Excellent Series......But Not A Ken Burns Work
This series on the old west is a must have for any old time wranglers out there that still are interested in, and or long for the days of cowboys, cattle drives, and beans and bacon. Quite honestly, one does not have much of a choice these days in locating a DVD collection about the old west. Most of what's available today pertaining to that era is based on novels, and fiction. This very authoritative, visually exuberant series is well done, and very interesting throughout despite its very obvious ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Ken Burns Presents The West
Although interesting, The West did not even begin to match The Civil War by Ken Burns. I personally thought too much time was devoted to the Noble Savages. Much singing of the Indians was evident but absolutely nothing to explain what the singing was about. There was no coverage about the outlaws and lawmen of the West.

Overall a somewhat disappointing product. If I had it to do again, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An absolutely superb and wonderful documentary.....

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not actually by Ken Burns... and it shows
I am surprised people can't get their facts straight surrounding this particular series: Ken Burns didn't write it, Ken Burns didn't direct it, it is "Presented By" meaning some cash was exchanged and the venerable Mr. Burns was able to tack his name onto the proceedings. This series was directed by Stephen Ives, and written by Dayton Duncan & Geoffrey C. Ward. This fact becomes eminently clear after about 30 minutes worth of footage & realizing, "Wow, these guys really wanted to emulate the Ken Burns ... Read More
