A two reel, feature picture in which an old chief re-enacts in a dream the scenes of his early life. This dream tells a story of fierce, mountain Indians. There are two tribes, Apaches and Yumas, not wholly in accord, and there are on the other hand the soldiers. The Apaches want war with the soldiers; the Yumas want peace and the struggle of will between these two tribes is the picture's center of interest. A love story is introduced, with a maiden of one tribe and the brave of the other, and this is used to bring out the incidents of the struggle and to add human interest. It is played against grandly mountainous backgrounds, and there are battle and flight in which the tribes figure as a whole, and there is also thrilling personal adventure. The Apache heroine, who warned the Yumas is, for her treachery, staked down with a rattlesnake tied in striking distance of her. The soldiers, coming to the rescue of their friends, the Yumas, after an exciting climax in a mist of battle smoke, arrive in time to save her. It's a big, blood-stirring picture, well made in every way and thoroughly pleasing. - The Moving Picture World, July 6, 1912
