Anecdotes

This is believed to be John Ford's first feature film.

The film was considered lost until a copy was found in the Czechoslovak Film Archive. There is now a copy at George Eastman House.

The scenes in the settler's cabin only show the wall with the door and the kitchen/eating area. From the way the tablecloth is fluttering it would seem that this was shot outdoors using sunlight and reflectors to light the set.
