Historic & Action Packed This is a very good movie and one of my all time favorites. It is based on a rugged settler who builds his home on a piece of land that is designated by the Indians as their sacred burial ground. Unbeknownst to the settler and his Indian bride, he weathers attacks by the angry Indians who try to push him from their land. The setting takes place in a wooded, mountainous region of the United States and is very picturesque. The movie is filled with action and the actors are very realistic and believable. The settler shows a keen wit and is able to ward off multiple attacks at his homestead and while on horseback on the trail. He is later joined by a mountain man who helps negotiate with and is later killed by the Indians in an attck at the homestead. If you enjoy Indian history and want something that the entire family can watch together this is a very good movie and a collector VHS which can be enjoyed for many years. I highly recommend this movie.
