A firm that has so vitalized ranch pictures is capable of still other important achievements and this pioneer picture is in harmony with the excellence of pictures gone before. Pioneer life is suffused with a glamor of romance, even in its sternest features, and in this picture the spirit of romance is well reproduced. The love story helps, and the reproduction of the ancient mode of travel is interesting. It brings back scenes which have passed away never to return. The battle between the settlers and the Indians is a representation of the stubborn character of all those conflicts and is much too realistic to be comfortable. But the pioneers rout the Indians, and peace and prosperity smile upon them. The scenic qualities will attract attention since the mechanical excellence of the film cannot be questioned. - The Moving Picture World, October 15, 1910
