With J. Warren Kerrigan, Lois Wilson, and Ernst Torrence. An authentic retelling of the plight of pioneers on the trek of Oregon Trail during the 1840's. Literally hundreds of real Indians, and the actual offspring of the settlers themselves took part in the making of the picture. Conestoga's abound.
The Covered Wagon
Two wagon caravans converge at what is now Kansas City, and combine for the westward push to Oregon. On their quest the pilgrims will experience desert heat, mountain snow, hunger, and Indian attack. To complicate matters further, a love triangle develops, as pretty Molly must chose between Sam, a brute, and Will, the dashing captain of the other caravan. Can Will overcome the skeleton in his closet and win Molly's heart?
