The route is similar to thejourney that Spencer makes in1923season 2, albeit 40 years earlier.
WhileSpencers journey resembles his familys in many ways, things are relatively smooth-sailing once he boards the train.
The Oregon Trail was the ultimate road trip.
1923 is a series following the Dutton family during the early twentieth century. It explores the challenges they face amidst pandemics, the end of Prohibition, historic drought, and the Great Depression, as they struggle to maintain their home in the mountain west.
A common thread in1883,1923,andYellowstoneis thatpeople cant outsmart nature.
While humans seemed to have the upper hand by the 1920s,1923exists to disprove that.
In1923season 2s premiere, a mountain lion hunts the Dutton family from their porch.
He has been at war with this world since he first entered it.
War with its trees.
War with its weather.
So is everything else.
If it was up to the wolves, it would be wolves and nothing else.
Same goes for the bear and the snake and the spider.
Trees grow tall to rob sunlight from all beneath it.
Life is a constant state of battle for survival.
And only one thing rings victorious: the world itself.
Earth is not a benign rock condemned to endure countless little rapes from its inhabitants.
It only stands to reason that a sixth one is coming.
It mirrors Alexs predicament at theend of1923season 2, episode 6, prompting the monologue.
Alex could add insulation, grimly repurposing her friends thickest layers to stay warm.
