The entire plot of 1883 is stupid teenage girl making stupid decisions while her parents sit back and go “well that’s her decision!”. Her stupidity eventually kills her which sets up the basis of the main series. The rest of it is ok, but having the main plot being so mind numbingly moronic kills any positive aspects of the show.
Now, to be fair, her getting an arrow of shit to her gut wasn't really entirely her fault as she was reacting to bad luck that lead to the retaliatory attack. If I remembered correctly.
1923 however, 90 percent of poor Spencer Dutton's plight could've completely been avoided if the stupid bitch just book another boat without him and met him in New York.
The “bad luck” was literally a culmination of her stupidity, if she didn’t run off to do stupid shit she would have been alive. The entire story was about how “wild and free spirited” she was, when she would have been fine if her dad had the balls to say “no” to her at any given time.
I'm not going back and rewatch but wasn't her dad and mustache man who stumbled on a massacre scene and realized they need to flee to a fort before the indians track their hooves and think it's their train that did it? and she decided to ride off to give the rest of the ikea crew time to run away, gets arrowed and convinced the leader her daddy is off to find the actual killers?
You can say she shouldn't have gone and play hero but the chain of events started when they stumbled on the massacre. Had she stayed with the main caravan she'd end up getting attacked right?
But yeah to your point, when her dad let her wear pants and hook up with an indian it was just a matter of time.

That’s the point though, she died “girl bossing”. You could argue she still might have died under different circumstances, but she directly died because she repeatedly made dumb choices and did so often at the cost of others.

Interestingly enough, that is the plot for modern America and the modern West.
