A Redman's Friendship (1912) Online
A redskin, injured, receives assistance at William Dodd's cabin. The white man is later captured by the Indians and condemned to die at the stake. He asks for a brief reprieve to bid his wife and baby good-bye. The chief demurs, but the befriended Indian, Eagle Feather, recognizing his benefactor, offers to sacrifice himself if the white man does not return, and the chief grants the request. Dodd's wife tries to prevent his fulfilling his promise by killing his horse, but Dodd finally returns to meet his fate. The bravery of Eagle Feather in offering to make such a sacrifice, touches the old chief's heart and he gives his warbonnet to the younger man. The new chief thereupon releases his white friend, who returns to his grieving wife and lonely little boy.
