Based on Oregon Trail?


Or something completely different? Are there people dying of dysentery or such?

reply

A character did die from drinking river water without boiling it.

I don’t think so. There’s no deer hunting.

father and son hunt a deer in episode 4

reply

Not big enough to feed the wagon train.

reply

That's what they have the cattle for. Remember those Germans that they're helping can't hunt or fight.

reply

There weren’t cattle in The 1987 version. You just shoot deer and maybe bears

I just finished this series, and I feel like it was more a live-action adaptation of the Oregon Trail computer game than it was a Yellowstone origin story. I sure hope 1923 is better.
