As for the program as a whole, the Daily Express found it "as exciting to us Limeys as anything that could be dished up by Chinese, Turks, Russians or what have you."

Subsequent Frontier programs will tell of Poker Alice (Joan Vohs), the coolest gambler on the plains, and the Long Road to Tucson will relate the saga of seven nuns on the trail from San Diego to the Arizona territory.
