i just get this dvd set and also read the liner note and the status of the unknown actress . but minnewanna be obviously play by lottie pickford and the actress sister of superstar and mary pickford . check out photo of lottie pickford on various web site . griffith be the most important director in the history of american film . that he be consider hopelessly old fashion by the dawn on talkie be irrelevant . his early short film help set the tone for the look and feel and attitude toward indian and cowboy and the american west and the civil war and etc . while this film ( at 15 minute ) be not dramatically move and it be important a an early look at griffith love of and attitude toward history . even in 1909 he be not afraid of portray the settler a conqueror any more than he be afraid to take an honest look at our civil war period in the birth of a nation in 1915 .
