IMDbThe thrilling prequel to Yellowstone, 1883, follows the great-grandparents of the Dutton family as they travel from Texas to Montana. The programme offers a graphic depiction of the harsh reality of Western expansion, highlighting the difficulties pioneers encountered when travelling across the wild wilderness. James and Margaret Dutton are shown in the series as multifaceted personalities with their own motivations and challenges, and the series does a fantastic job of building their characters. It's also intriguing to observe how historical events affect Yellowstone's modern setting, giving the show's mythology substance and depth. The show has a fantastic cast, led by Sam Elliott as Shea Brennan, Faith Hill as Margaret Dutton, and Tim McGraw as James Dutton. The characters are brought to life in a way that feels both genuine and approachable thanks to the subtle and passionate performances. 1883 is a great expansion of the Yellowstone world because it provides a fascinating glimpse at the past while also laying the groundwork for the future. Fans of the series will adore this prequel, and new viewers will enjoy the well-written and compelling narrative about the difficulties of living in the American West.

They mention the "White Elephant" bar when they're in Ft. Worth, which still exists today.
The Sam Elliott character tells the immigrants they are fools for having oxen for their train rather than horses. The truth is that most pioneers used oxen rather than horses for pulling their wagons west, unlike the depiction in most westerns. Oxen are slower but better suited for such a trip because they are stronger, able to endure under duress, are less picky eaters, are more sure-footed, can better pull fully loaded wagons up mountains, are less easily spooked, and, upon arrival at a destination, would be better suited to farm life.
Billy Bob Thornton's character, "Longhair Jim" Courtright, was actually killed in a gunfight in front of the White Elephant Saloon in 1887. Each year, on the anniversary, the gunfight is reenacted on Exchange Street in front of the present-day White Elephant Saloon, in the Historic Fort Worth Stockyards.
The significance of the year 1883: On March 1 of the year 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act, and was passed by Congress in the winter of the same year, which officially cemented Yellowstone as the world's first national park. Eleven years later, in 1883, construction of the Northern Pacific Railroad (funded by primary investor and Philadelphia Financier Jay Cooke) reached the north boundary of Yellowstone National Park.
Many of the scenes set in Fort Worth, Texas, were actually filmed in the present-day Fort Worth Stockyards historic district.
