Great lost film, fragment survives

A few scant minutes of this film still extant can only hint at what was lost. Cody starred. The rating above is an extrapolated honorary 10.The Indians were real. The U.S. Cavalry of 1913 portrayed the cavalry of the Indian Wars. Filmed in splendid authentic locations such as the Black Hills with Cody representing the actual participants, the film must have been spectacular for 1914. General Nelson Miles was technical adviser. Apparently released only in New York and Denver, it seems to have been repressed by the asininity of the U.S. government at the time.The idiots who did it are all dead. The script seems to have been too nice to the conquered Indians. IMDb says part of it may exist in a collection. The Buffalo Bill Historical Center organization has a fragment of the film which may be viewed on line. For your safety,this site's thought police prevent posting the link. The film's loss stands as a monument to genocide and prejudice which can scarcely be thought possible in 1914 to 1917.

A reconstruction of many events in the American Indian wars, produced by Buffalo Bill Cody in cooperation with the U.S. government. The film disappeared a few years after its release, leading many to speculate that the government had had it destroyed.
