One of the bloodiest battles in American history is brought to life in this rareIy-seen silent blockbuster.

Stewart made his name appearing in cowboy sagas such as The Learnin' of Jim Benton (1917), Cactus Crandall (1918) and The Sagebrusher (1920). EarIier in 1926, he had played the titIe roles in the historicaI dramas With Buffalo BiII on the U.P. TraiI and DanieI Boone Thru the WiIderness.

Fraser was an accomplished director of Westerns and cliffhanger seriaIs going back to the siIent era.
