Storyline
In 1876, an old man finds gold in the Sioux lands, provoking a gold and land rush from immigrants to Dakota. On the way to Custer, the lonely cowboy Dan O'Malley helps to fix the wheel of Mr. Carlton's wagon and flirts with his daughter Lee Carlton. Later, Lee and her father are attacked by horse thieves and Mr. Carlton is murdered; however, the outlaws "Bull" Stanley, Mike Costigan and "Spade" Allen save her from the criminals and head with her to the camp where the pioneers are waiting for President Grant proclamation to explore the lands. In the site, the corrupt Sheriff Layne Hunter rules with his henchmen with horror and injustice. The trio of outlaws decides that Lee needs to get married and select Dan to be her husband. When Bull's sister Millie Stanley is murdered by Hunter's right arm Nat Lucas, "Bull" organizes the men to chase Hunter. But it is 1877 and the gold and land race of wagons is ready to start.

I stumbled upon this on the Fox Movie channel.
it is an excellent tale of the West as only John Ford can tell it.
great cinematography, narrative, acting.
the camera-work is especially compelling.
and the updated music by Dana Kaproff is outstanding.
some of the best silent film music I've ever heard, and I write film scores, so I know what I'm talking about.
check out the Fox Movie channel if your cable company offers it.
They show great films from their library.
this is a must see and must have for anyone's collection of silent masterpieces!
