This is an actual film and the footage is very good for its age. I enjoyed it right to the end which is cut short. I wish whoever put it up had got the whole thing. None the less it was good to watch if not just for the horse riding stunts some of which are really spectacular. John Hall stars as KIt and Dana Andrews as Capt Fremont. A young Ward Bond is in it too. Most of it is Historically accurate as well. Close to accurate anyway.
