Sufficiently accurate to satisfy the ordinary observer
deickemeyer24 January 2015
This enterprising house has produced a picture which has all the accuracy of history as far as essentials go, and has graphically illustrated Custer's last stand on the Little Big Horn, when his entire command was killed by the Sioux Indians. With it is woven a love story, which, while perhaps not wholly accurate, is not impossible, and it gives a touch of tenderness to the otherwise stern and bloody pictures which makes it all the more attractive. The picture is worked out with all the rush and dash which make Selig's Western pictures so interesting. Without undertaking to note the details of the picture, it is, perhaps, sufficient to say that they are sufficiently accurate to satisfy the ordinary observer, and that is the main feature. The moving picture audience wants action, and these exhibitions of headlong bravery are thrilling enough to bring rounds of applause. The picture will be a factor in maintaining Selig's reputation for films of this character, and is being billed as a headliner with success. - The Moving Picture World, December 4, 1909
