The movie which made James Cruze immortal. The most significant western of the 1920s paved the way for such masterpieces as The Iron Horse (1924) and Tumbleweeds (1925). Featuring indians, buffalos and romance, the star of the film is J. Warren Kerrigan (a handy swordsman from last year's Captain Blood). Raoul Walsh made an adaption of the film in 1930, The Big Trail.
