Trailer

Plot summary

In 1863, during the Colorado gold rush, a caravan crosses America toward Oregon, and Martha Jane Cannary travels in it with her family. When their horse injures her father, Martha wants to take charge of the family carriage. Abraham, who leads the group, puts his son Ethan in the seat instead. Martha and Ethan clash: she refuses the role the caravan expects of a girl, while he is trying to win his father's approval. She learns at night to lasso and ride, and sews a pair of pants for herself, which the women of the group are not expected to wear. A soldier, Samson, tells the travelers they are going the wrong way, and the caravan changes course.
