Story about the brave frontiersman who leads a party of pioneers into the wilderness of Cumberland Gap and establishes the fort of Boonesborough in the middle of hostile Shawnee country. The obstacle to a peaceful settlement is Simon Girty, a renegade Frenchman who somehow is able to persuade several Indian nations and Chief Blackfish that Boone and company come not to live in peace but to steal Shawnee land and bring gun powder not to hunt game but to kill Indians who oppose white settlers heading westward. There are fine action scenes, including a grueling, brutal running of the gauntlet by Boone and a full-scale attack on the fort by the Shawnees just before the killer of Blackfish’s two sons is revealed by fate. Bruce Bennett projects sincerity as Boone and Lon Chaney’s Blackfish is fierce and warlike and a formidable foe to white settlement in Kentucky.
