this picture be an interesting saga of the struggle of pioneer lead by daniel boone in the wilderness of cumberland gap while be threaten by hostile indian . a treacherous frenchman be the cause of all the trouble between the settler and the red men while boone try to convince the indian that the pioneer only want to build home and live in peace . the film have a certain appeal because it be not a polished production but there be good action scene and although somewhat violent for it time . the cast be comprise of b actor but they be all good and especially lon chaney a the indian chief . bruce bennett be okay a boone but be a bit too clean cut and soft spoken to be believable a a frontiersman . the dialogue be rather trite but the scenery lend itself to the realism of the kentucky backwoods .
