A Squaw Man (1912)
In the beginning we have an elopement of a rich man's son and an Indian girl. With the consequent train of events leading up and subsequent thereto, they are as follows: First in due season, a little papoose. Then the august presence of the noble Chief Dark Cloud, the wife's father, coming upon the scene spells misery for the couple. The boy, shamed and wretched by the appearance of the old chief in his incongruous garb, half savage, half civilized, quarrels and flees, deserting his squaw. The scene now shifts to the west. After a lapse of years, the maiden and her child are back in the tribe of their ancestors. Here, too, comes the recalcitrant lover, husband and father. Driven from the east through misconduct, a fight in a western barroom almost costs him his life. Escaping on horseback by a hairbreadth, he is subsequently found by his own child and later nursed back to life by his Indian wife. Then comes his return eastward. But the manner of his return is most surprising and unexpected. The cowboy chase, the fight on horseback, the fall from the back of a wildly dashing horse. All these are startling bits of realism, clever expositions of daring and deviltry. The story is most remarkable.
