Titulo original: How the West Was Won
Resumen: La expansión hacia el Oeste protagonizada por los colonos, la anexión de Texas y la incorporación de Arizona, Nuevo México y California tras una guerra que se salda con la victoria de los Estados Unidos suponen un avance espectacular de la frontera norteamericana hacia el Pacífico. La película consta de cuatro episodios sobre la colonización del Oeste que tienen lugar entre 1830 y 1890. Los dos primeros y el último, fueron dirigidos por Hathaway, y el tercero, por Marshall, pero incluye también un interludio, dirigido por John Ford, ambientado en la guerra de Secesión, con un diálogo entre los generales nordistas Sherman y Grant.
