"This frontier drama spans much of the 1770s - the decade of the War of Independence - as a group of settlers spread into Mohawk Valley. The film episodically dramatises the hardships of a young settler couple. The Indian, in his savagery and cunning is an unambiguous threat to encroaching American civilisation. This is a reaffirmation of the populist values of the American dream - the uncomplicated virtues of ordinary people and the ritual celebration of family and community - before the darkening of Ford's vision in later more resonant dramas."@en
