heartland be a wonderful depiction of what it be really like to live on the frontier . the hard work and individual strength that be need to survive the hardship of the climate and the lack of medical care be blend with the camaraderie and the interdependence of the settler . the drama be especially meaningful because the story be base on the diary of real people whose descendant still live there . it be also nice to see the west inhabit by real people . no one be glamorous or look a if they have just spend a session with the makeup or costume department . conchatta ferrell be just wonderful . she be an example of the strong and persevering people who come to wyoming in the early 20th century and let no hardship stand in their way of a new life in a new land .
