Charles Ogle and Alan Hale
Way back in 1848, just before the discovery of gold in California, a huge wagon-train of Pioneers who had gathered on the banks of the Mississippi at Westport, set out to take up homestead sites in Oregon. The trip was fraught with great danger. Not only were these hardy adventurers shut off from all supplies and out of communication with the more civilized East, but Indian attacks, prairie fires and the fording of rivers, added to the terrors of the overland journey.
Will Banion, hero of the story, is under a cloud because Sam Woodhull, who was with him in the army during the war with Mexico, has accused him of theft. Molly Wingate, the heroine, is loved by both Woodhull and Banion. She favors Banion. but cannot marry him while under suspicion. During the journey, Banion saves Molly's life several times. Their romance is not only beautiful but inspiring.
Woodhull becomes Banion's enemy. He and Will have a thrilling fight, in which Banion proves to be the better man. He spares Sam's life and later even rescues him, but Woodhull's hatred continues until he meets his death while attempting to shoot Banion.
On the way there comes news of the discovery of gold in California and the wagon-train separates, Banion and part of the wagons going south, and the others continuing north into Oregon. Molly remains with the Oregon contingent and after Banion's departure, learns of his innocence of the theft charged to him. And a few months later, Banion with plenty of California gold, follows Molly into Oregon.
The picture teems with novel scenes, all the events, including a great Buffalo hunt, having been re-created with careful attention to realism and historical exactness. To see it is to live for a time with those hardy fighting frontiersmen of the late 40's who, despite the obstacles placed in their path by nature, Indians and wild beasts, won their way across the trackless wastes of the Old West to the gold fields of the Pacific Coast.
There has never been such a production. It is a masterpiece which no one can now afford to miss seeing, and which already seen, can well be seen again. 5589 feet standard length — on 6 reels Rental $7.50
