The story
Based on 1975 short story Miracle in the Wilderness, a Christmas Story of Colonial America by Paul Gallico. Gallico's original story was set in pre-Revolutionary Colonial America, whereas this 1991 TV movie is set in the mid-1800s on the Western Plains/Rocky Mountain Frontier. A recently reformed, but violent and rough mountain man, Jericho Adams, along with his devout Christian wife Dora and their infant boy child, are preparing to celebrate a humble frontier Christmas.
