An Indian chief kidnaps a woman and her brother in a story about revenge. This movie has it all: drama, comic relief, action, violence, and suspense. A treat for hardcore western fans. The beautiful cinematography adds realism.

I saw this several times in the theater and it still ranks as one of my all time favorite movies. In 1975, it provided a unique perspective and understanding of Native Americans with a more realistic depiction of the Whites they encountered during that time. The production is not as polished as what we see today, but the storyline is memorable, poignant and sensible. I have a copy on VHS and wish it were available on DVD.

SOME KILLING BUT NO BLOOD OR GUTS AND NO SEX. KIDS DONT HAVE TO HURRY AND COVER THIR EYES. I SAW THIS MOVIE WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT, THOUGHT ABOUT WINTERHAWK FOR MONTHS, WISHED I COULD HAVE BEEN THE WOMAN RIDING NEXT TO HIM. I BOUGHT THIS A WEEK AGO AND WATCHED IT AND LOVED IT AGAIN. I THINK IT IS A GREAT WESTERN AND ONLY WISH THEY MADE MORE MOVIES LIKE THIS ONE NOW DAYS.....

This movie may be low budget, and the dialog mediocre, but the actors, such as Leif Ericons, L Q Jones, Denver Pyle and Dawn Wells, do a good job of carrying it off. I own the VHS, but I say this move long ago and seem to remember some scenes that were not on the tape. The story line is really not all that predictable. Winterhawk, a Blackfoot chief, needs medicine for smallpox which is destroying his tribe. His first encounter with the white traders is catastrophic, and he retaliates - for the era, it seems quite logical - he takes hostages to trade for the medicine. The ensuing chase presents some unforgettable scenery, and delves into the beliefs and philosophies of various groups. This is not the typical "bad Indians" movie so many people were accustomed to in the 70's. In that sense, it was ahead of its time. A lot of people still won't like this movie for that reason. I gave this movie 4 stars because I think that in its way, it was a cutting edge effort, and as a history buff, it does a creditable job of showing the relationship between Indians and white hunters/settler/missionaries that existed at the time - not all of the bad guys were red.

It is very good my Dad loves it alot and I love it alot:):)

Another well thought out and well documented reference with many photos and catalog pages. I am waiting for volume 2. A must have for the serious collector.

A wonderful book for Glass identification. Has many items I had never seen before. Great book!

I am very pleased with this book it arrived in excellent shape just likeit said in the book review.

This book was very helpful. I was able to identify 10 pieces that had been sitting on my shelf! I was like a kid in a candy store with all the pictures.

I found the text to be very informative. The pictures were clear and the descriptions were accurate. The histtory of the LE Glass company was helpful in identifying the value of items I have purchased and am presently selling. I would highly reccomend it to persons that are collecting or have an interest in the history of american depression glass ware.
