New York, NY - February 9, 2018 - In April of 1775, just weeks before the American Revolution begins, a group of pioneers launch their own revolution, defying a King to establish a permanent settlement on the frontier. Before them lies a territory of 2.5 million square miles of vast, raw, untamed land stretching from the Appalachian Mountains to the Pacific Ocean that will one day forge a new nation.

Lastly, episode four, airing on Wednesday, March 28 at 9pm ET/PT, delves into Davy Crockett's stand at The Alamo, while John Frémont and Kit Carson set out on a secret mission that ignites a war for California and the Pacific.
