I don't know who started all this talk about good always being mixed up with bad, and bad with good. All I know is, when people are alone, when there's no law to see to it that they got to stand inside the bounds; then they're either all good or all bad. And it's a tough thing for a boy to find out that his pa is one of the bad.

Well worth including into your Western Library. Peter Fonda shows the same skills as an actor as his father and sister. We paid $20 AUD for this DVD and it was money well spent. Starring Bill Thurman, Serene Heden, Jack Elam. 150 years ago the Tennessee Territory was about as wild as it would ever get. Into this land of legends rides Hawken (Peter Fonda). Hawkens Breed is the legend of one fighting man - a white man who loved a beautiful Indian woman, an honest man in a land of thieves and savages, a good man in a land of lawlessness and greed. Hawken pledges to fight to the finish to reclaim stolen land and avenge the wrong done to his love by members of her own tribe. It is a story of the new colt revolver, a gun that revolutionized the world and the first man to fire it. And it is the story of a young boy who knew only wickedness and cruelty from his own stepfather, but found a true hero in Hawken. There is true to life history in this film and highly recommended.
