181019: This is a decent film. It's also a decent little story featuring cap and ball technology (yes, I'm a western fan).
I'm not sure which is worse; the story or the costumes. It's 1846 for Pete's sake.
Oscar-nominated actor Tom Berenger of "Platoon" fame plays a paunchy circuit riding preacher in "Dawn Rider" director Terry Miles' antebellum western "Lonesome Dove Church" who wants to start afresh after he embarks on a search for his wayward son. John Shepherd is prompted to find his son because another irate preacher shows him a wanted poster with Isaac Shepherd's image on it with a bounty for $500.
I am descended from the actual founders of Lonesome Dove Church. My Great-grandparents are buried in the church cemetery.
I too am a descendant of fosters and have a book on the history and actual photo of the church. If anyone would like to compare info contact me via the email.
