The content of the show:
The series begins in the year 1867 and centers on a proper female physician
from Boston, Massachusetts, Michaela "Dr. Mike" Quinn (played by British

small wild west town of Colorado Springs, to set up her own practice.
She makes the difficult adjustment to life in Colorado with the aid of rugged
outdoorsman and friend to the Cheyenne, Byron Sully (played by American
