Elements of classic westerns like Trooper Hook and Two Rode Together are found
in this western. The plot focuses on a bitter and sick woman Bethel Leslie who
has been kicked off the Shoshone Reservation with her young son Gerald Michenaud who James Drury and Tim Matheson find on the trail. She's taken
to Shiloh where she gets medical attention.
Later on in Medicine Bow Leslie discovers that the husband who deserted her is alive and a prosperous merchant. And the daughter she and Charles Drake had whom she thought killed, Jane Actman is about to get married.
Former cowboy hero Tim Holt makes an appearance as another rancher with nasty feelings about Indians. His part is a far cry from the straight arrow heroes he used to play.
A good story about the tragedy of the captives in the Indian Wars.
