If you threw me into the world of 'American Primeval,' I would probably last a day tops. It takes place in 1857 Utah. The US Army, Mormons (aka Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and Native Americans (Paiute and Shoshone) are all hoping to claim or hold on to land in the name of God, country or ancestral heritage.

Throw into this mix pioneers, bounty hunters and people just hoping for a moment's peace. The terrain is tough and the weather can be punishing, wolves prowl, shelter isn't guaranteed. Arrows are shot, bullets are fired, axes are wielded and torches are lit not to illuminate but to burn down. On top of all this, there's no plumbing in sight.
