Kit Carson (1910)
Kit Carson, the scout, picturesquely attired, mounted on a whirlwind horse, saves a band of settlers from the attack of an Indian band. The savages are discovered by Carson In full war paint riding at breakneck speed to the attack. In a sensational gallop from cabin to cabin he rounds up the settlers and sees them safely installed in the stockade. Scene after scene of startling intensity is shown, holding the audience breathless as the mad race for cover is made, with the shrieking Indians missing their quarry by a providential second. Carson knows full well that the little band cannot long withstand the attack of the savages, and rides for reinforcements, urging his steed to a terrific pace. While he is absent the unequal conflict is raging, the pioneers' wives and children loading the guns and the men tiring. The Indians circle round and round, showering volleys of arrows into the little fortress. The ranks of the whites are thinned and the redmen suffer heavy losses when the invaders succeed in setting fire to the stockade. In the meantime Carson has reached a camp of trappers. The situation is explained in a word and they dash furiously to the rescue, arriving in the nick of time. The Indians are put to rout, followed to their camp and destroyed, and their tepees burned. The last picture shows the whites riding away, leaving behind them a spectacular blaze as a grim reminder of their vengeance.
