A picture full of thrills and one that will commend itself to those who have studied such matters as an accurate reproduction of what occurred many times during the settlement of this country. Indians objected to the encroachment of the white man and they annihilated more than one family quite as effectually as they purposed annihilating this one. Not all had friends who could and did assist them, and because of that this picture ends more pleasantly than many of the actual occurrences did. This picture has reproduced the prairie schooner with fidelity to our ideas of that primitive mode of travel. The camp scenes and the skulking tactics of the Indians are all faithfully reproduced and mark a masterly understanding of the actual conditions. The picture is a valuable addition to the collection of historical films which graphically reproduce scenes and incidents long since passed into oblivion. - The Moving Picture World, November 19, 1910
