Awakening Land, The (1978/TV)
Unschooled homesteader Sayward Luckett couldnât read her name if you showed it to her, yet she fell in love with and married agnostic, book-learned frontier lawyer Portius Wheeler. Now itâs time to make a life with him in wild, wooded 1790s Ohio Territory. There will be children, seven in all; joy and hardships aplenty; inconstancies of heart; and the enduring legacy of settling a new land. Based on Conrad Richterâs trilogy of novels (he received a Pulitzer Prize for the third), this miniseries nominated for 6 Emmy Awards® celebrates the pioneering spirit as it chronicles Saywardâs heroic, unadorned life. Elizabeth Montgomery and Hal Holbrook (earning two of those six Emmy nominations) lead a strong cast that includes Jane Seymour and W.H. Macy (his first screen credit).
