    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The ranch that was used as the Venneford Mansion was the Highlands Ranch Mansion, located on Highlands Ranch, which is near the real-life town of Centennial, Colorado. Several years after this miniseries was shot, the property was developed for housing by the Mission Veijo Company. One of the streets within the development was named Venneford Ranch Road by the company as a tribute to the miniseries.
    • Goofs
      During "The Massacre" episode, Colonel Skimmerhorn is walking through the streets of Denver and there is a large crowd of people cheering and waving 50 star United States flags. There were no 50 star United States flags in 1864.
    • Alternate versions
      This was originally shown on the NBC network in twelve separate episodes, with the first and last each running three hours and the ten in between at two hours each (this is with commercials). Some basic cable channels have rerun it in thirteen two-hour segments, with all but the opening and closing episodes consisting of the last hour of one segment and the first hour of the next.
