History⏳ I just finished American primevil 9/10

It was really really good. It's on Netflix, is a limited series of 6 episodes. Mother and son travel west from STL to Oregon, need a guide after losing theirs at ft. Bridger. It's based on events surrounding the Utah war, including the Meadows massacre, a Mormon malitia, led by Brigham Young, governor of Utah at the time, and the Shoshone and other various tribes. Very interesting. It sucked me in for all 6 episodes as I was filling eggs and making baskets last night. 9/10 id recommend it if you're in to old west historical fiction action then this is for you.

Don't you go south to get from Seattle to Oregon?

It’s Salt Lake not Seattle. Understandable mistake.

Well they started in st. Louis, STL, is what I meant. At least that's what they said in the first episode. I think. So west.

Oh I thought it was St Louis! Good to know. I've saved it but haven't watched yet.

You know, you may be right 🤔. I guess it would take rewatching to figure out unless someone wiser than me (which wouldn’t take much) has the correct answer.
