The Men Who Built America: Frontiersmen

Frontiersmen is a four-part high-end docu-drama executively produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. It will follow stories of iconic pioneers, including Daniel Boone, Lewis and Clark, Tecumseh, Davy Crocket and Andrew Jackson as they set forth across untamed land. The series will span across the first 75 years from the post-Revolutionary War colonies through the California Gold Rush, highlighting a formative period in US history that helped shape us from colonists into today’s Americans. “During these years, America went from the opportunity of land to the land of opportunity and it was a bloody struggle throughout,” said Paul Cabana, History’s EVP and head of programming. “From Crockett to Boone, we’ll tell the bold stories of these adventurous trailblazers who explored the uncharted wilderness and became the icons we know today”.
