Surviving the American frontier in the nineteenth century was not an easy task and no one knows it better than the Braymyer family. Whether they were settling up Texas, California or Missouri, their story is a classic among the early American pioneers who were brave enough to venture into the old west. Through the Trail of Tears, Civil War, gunfights with outlaws and the unpredictable elements, the Braymyers make their mark on early America and instill the hard learned values into future generations of their family. Descendants of this remarkable family fight to save landmarks left behind by the family as well as make some of the same journeys that their ancestors made years before. Flash backs from present day to past times allow for a truly remarkable story of a family's fight to survive and ability to endure times of great hardship.
