Indians make an attack on a frontier cabin and burn it. A small boy, who happens to be absent at his father's mine, is left alone in the wilderness. The daughter of the chief finds him and he is adopted into the tribe. The story which follows (in later years), the capture of a white woman by his tribe, is queer and a bit obscure and, on that account, doesn't interest strongly, although many of the scenes are commendable. - The Moving Picture World, August 23, 1913

These western one reelers, contemporary with Griffith's shorts, have a fascination of their own, individually or even more in the programs restored by Pathé, whose crew used their imagination about missing titles and character names. The films offer a story book world of red skins and settlers, prairie schooners and tepees, with more vigor and conviction than might be expected.

Here the white man, raised by the Indians, defends the wandering girl captive, bringing down the vengeance of his Indian bride. Modest production and performance are good for it's day.

That should be long enough.
