Yellowstone to Yosemite: Kevin Costner tells the 'stranger than fiction' story of taming the American frontier

10 February 2025 at 08:07

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.Β 

It's an old adage, one Kevin Costner says holds especially true in the story of the untamed American frontier.

The "Field of Dreams" and "Dances with Wolves" legend brings this idea to life in "Yellowstone to Yosemite," a new three-part Fox Nation series that explores how a seemingly unrelated string of events set the stage for one of the most pivotal moments in American history.

"It's a story about a confluence of tragic events separated by time and space intersecting in a seemingly impossible manner. And somehow something incredible came out of all of it," Costner explained.

"A young boy suffering from severe asthma, a president's assassination, a horrible accident at a wagon wheel factory – unrelated events in most people's minds, but they all needed to happen for this story to unfold, for two men to come together for three days out in the wild. Three days that would change America forever…"

FOX NATION TO PREMIERE β€˜YELLOWSTONE TO YOSEMITE’ WITH KEVIN COSTNER

"That's a story worth telling, don't you think?"

Costner teamed up with the Fox Nation platform for "Yellowstone to Yosemite" following the success of his breakout hit, "Yellowstone: One-Fifty."

Through the Hollywood legend's distinctive perspective, the new series traces the footsteps of President Teddy Roosevelt and environmental advocate John Muir's pivotal 1903 Yosemite expedition.

In the process, he brings to life the story of America's indigenous legacy, the outsiders that came along and how Muir became a crusader for America's wildest places.

"Two men embark on a camping trip. These two men have never met before. They pushed through heavy snow, get soaked with rain and wash down steaks with hot coffee," he explained.

"They didn't set out to change America, but what they dreamed up around the campfire – some might call it ingenious. Others might say cunning. But, boy, did it work."

The elements of the tale, all essential to preserving the captivating story of the American frontier, led to America's more structured National Park System today – 150 National Forests, five National Parks, along with the preservation and protection of 230 million acres of land.

The series debuted on the Fox Nation platform over the weekend, with new episodes dropping each week.

Trump's controversial Cabinet picks: Fox Nation takes stock in new series

20 December 2024 at 08:00

While Donald Trump's allies have been steadfast in defending most of his Cabinet choices, some of the President-elect's nominees have caused a stir from both sides of the aisle. Now, Fox Nation dives deep into each pick β€” however controversial β€” in its latest episodic series, "The Cabinet."

ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR.

Trump’s secretary nominee for the Department of Health and Human Services (HSS) has caused some controversy. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ran as an Independent in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, but on Aug. 23 he dropped out and announced his support for Trump. If he is confirmed by the Senate, RFK Jr. plans to re-evaluate many health policies, from vaccines to ultra-processed foods. This initiative explains the viral motto, "Make America Healthy Again," which summarizes his ambitions in the Trump administration.

RFK JR. SAYS HE PLANS TO ALSO MEET WITH DEMS IN BID TO GET CONFIRMED AS TRUMP HHS HEAD

"It ended up bringing a lot of credibility to the campaign," Fox News contributor Charles Hurt said on RFK Jr.'s endorsement.

"I normally don't think endorsements matter that much," he continued. "But I think that RFK's endorsement of Trump made a huge difference."

SEN. MARCO RUBIOΒ 

During the 2016 Republican presidential primaries, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., traded barbs and insults with Trump. However, despite their differences, the two politicians joined forces during Trump’s first term, and the Florida senator became known as a loyal supporter of the president. In November, Rubio was nominated as United States Secretary of State and awaits his confirmation from the Senate.

"He has a lot of the qualities that Trump likes," Fox News contributor Miranda Devine said in the Fox Nation episode. "He's just a good politician. He's smooth, he knows where the bodies are buried."

Hurt also added that Rubio is "widely respected across the aisle," and expects him to even pick up some Democratic votes in the Senate confirmation.

GOV. KRISTI NOEM

Kristi Noem, the current governor of South Dakota, is Trump's nominee for his secretary of Homeland Security. Despite not being a leader from a border state, on multiple occasions she used her state’s resources to help stem the flow of migrants illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Noem’s nomination was a surprise to many, but Fox News contributor Ben Domenech said she "is someone who can be a go-between with Congress."

Domenech also added that she has the potential to be a "more traditional person in this role," meaning she can build upon her relationships with fellow Republicans.

While it remains to be seen which of the Cabinet nominees will be confirmed, one thing that is for certain is that the upcoming Senate confirmation hearings and elections will go a long way in determining the trajectory of the second Trump administration.

Subscribe to Fox Nation to stream "The Cabinet" for continued analysis and background on these historic nominations β€” including the newly-released feature on Tulsi Gabbard β€” with new episodes dropping each Friday.
