This seems to be a loose adaptation of "A Lantern In Her Hand" by Bess Streeter Aldrich - a young pioneer woman named Maggie toughs it out with her children in Nebraska, survives prairie life, lives to see a thriving state. If you enjoyed this movie, you'll love the book.
Otherwise, the movie has all the check marks of a 1970's movie - with Helen Hunt in her first credited roll! Nice plot, insert panic moments, love, hardships, and the rest. Joanna Pettet makes a believable pioneer woman with a nod to William Shatner, out of his stereotyped space cowboy role. Also nice to see David Janssen in this lightweight drama.
