Presenting certain phases of Western life accurately and graphically

[deickemeyer · 13 October 2015]

A Western Indian tale, the scenes of which are laid in the shadow of Mt. Shasta. It deals with the oft repeated exhibition of an Indian's treachery and an Indian's gratitude for favors done. A young man, the son of a colonel of a frontier post, is ill and in his delirium calls for his sister. She starts with a guide and an Indian girl as companions. They are taken by the Indians, but the Indian girl effects their release. After a long, heroic struggle they reach the son, who falls dying into his sister's arms. There is privation by hunger and thirst and a long list of disagreeable features to add zest to the picture, and they are all illustrated in such a way that they appear probable. It is a good film, presenting certain phases of Western life accurately and graphically. - The Moving Picture World, January 7, 1911
