Summary:
Splendidly depicting the untamed frontier of the 1820s, the film tells the impassioned story of Big Davey Harvey, a stoic backwoodsman who 1buys2 and marries a bondswoman, Rachel, to care for and educate his motherless son. Neither the father nor son finds much to appreciate in Rachel until Jim Fairways, a guitar-strumming hunter, shows a romantic interest in her. Violent jealousy erupts between the two men, settled only after a spectacular raid on the Harveys2 homestead by unmerciful Shawnee.
