1883<\/em>‘s ending painted a stark picture of how those who were part of the Westward Expansion survived, loved, and died along the journey. Heartbreakingly, Elsa was mortally wounded and picked the spot in Paradise Valley where she wanted James to bury her. Meanwhile, a year after Josef’s (Marc Rissmann) wife died, and his leg had to be amputated, he finally removed his wedding ring and prepared to rebuild his home. Thomas (LaMonica Garrett) and Noemi’s (Gratiela Brancusi) family also found a spot in Oregon where they settled. Finally, Shea reached the beach, and there, took his own life.<\/p>\n

In a mix of tragic death and hopeful optimism for the show’s settlers, the\u00a01883\u00a0<\/em>ending fleshed out\u00a0the story of how\u00a0the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch<\/a>\u00a0was founded with the blood of pioneers<\/strong>, literally. The site Elsa chose to be buried was a valley called \u201cParadise\u201d which ended up becoming the Yellowstone Ranch.<\/p>\n

Though the Duttons finally made it to the future site of their homestead, it came at the cost of James and Margaret losing their beloved daughter Elsa. The implications of the violence and harshness that resulted in the ranch in the\u00a01883<\/em>\u00a0ending would be felt decades later for future generations of Duttons.<\/p>\n
