[Charles van Buren · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not very believable

Tale of an army officer trying to make peace with the Comanche. What the Comanche wanted was their land and for the Americans to stop killing the buffalo.

I have become accustomed to inaccuracies regarding weapons in modern Westerns but this older one suffers from the same problem. The Evans rifles and carbines were not chambered in .44-40.

A very white interpretation of peace,
A very white/christian view of Indians,
I would not offer it to my Native American next-door neighbor.
