Loved the name of this film and the story sounded good. Van Heflin plays Jim Bridger a scout who is able to mediate for the U. S and Sault Nation. It appears we have some genuine indigenous people in this film. Nicol is great as Dansy you really do dislike him. A one point Van Heflin is telling a story to the woman with the wagon and tells it with such intensity you really believe it could have happened. Great scenery dialogue and sets
The ending is quite good as well with the final standoff between Redcloud and the U. S army. This was a decent watch and better than some A listing westerns. I give 4/5.
