Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt was the expansion of the railroad that encouraged the systematic hunting of the bison. The workers needed food, meat specifically, and the company paid well for it, thus placing pressure on the bison. It was only after the railroad construction was completed that the primary economic focus shifted to hides. The railroad made them easier to transport, thus placing even more pressure on the bison.
- GoofsIn the late 1800s, the American bison had received legal protection in only a few states (e.g., Idaho, New Mexico), but only after they had been exterminated in those states. It wasn't until the early 1900s that serious legal action and attempts to regrow the herds were made. At that point there were only a few thousand remaining in the wild or captivity, so to claim (as the narrator does) that unscrupulous hunters illegally hunted bison is not accurate - immorally perhaps, but not illegally.

Featured review
Pieced together with film clips
The saloon brawl and the runaway horse team scenes are from Dodge City (1939) with Errol Flynn and Victor Jory. Both Jory and Guinn Big Boy Williams can be seen if you look quickly enough. What a waste of film. On the up side it did provide some pay checks for a few out of work actors and other studio employees. As usual, after the big deal fist fight between our hero sheriff and the villain the villain's face is bloody and our hero's face doesn't have a mark. But in as much as the short was made to entertain little kids and to sell popcorn it served it's purpose. It's not like they were out to make Gone With the Wind or Ben Hur. It would be interesting to hear what the producer and director had to say about why they made it and how they got permission to use film from other movies.
