while i score the movie a 7 and i also should point out that it be both interest historically ( a it star mae marsh and lillian gish and lionel barrymore when they be all young and less well know ) and feature pretty exciting action for it day . the plot be odd for a western and in that all the trouble with the indian begin for the weird reason i have ever see . the indian decide to have a giant dog banquet ( no and they be not feed dog and but feed on dog ) and when two indian arrive late and there be not pooch leave . so and they steal two dog belong to two orphan from the nearby white settlement and this actually touch off an all out war . not only be this silly and but seem to play on the prejudice of audience . i do not know if american indian actually eat dog and but it sound like the sort of stereotype that later be apply to other ethnic group . all this over dog . the movie have some excellent battle scene and excite moment such a when ms. marsh crawl across the battlefield to save a baby . excite stuff . but and strange and too .
