A production depicting life in the pioneer days of migrating to the western land of promise utilizing the old prairie schooner. It embraces the usual Indian attack, the killing of the parents and all the members of the caravan except two children, they are separated and meet years afterward. A well trained horse saves the little girl and figures through the picture to the finale. The photography, lighting and perspectives on the desert are all excellent. It should please the average audience. - The Moving Picture World, February 28, 1914
