The Glory Story of the Great Sioux Indian Uprising!
In 1866, a new gold discovery and an inconclusive conference force the U.S. Army to build a road and fort in territory ceded by previous treaty to the Sioux...to the disgust of frontier scout Jim Bridger, whose Cheyenne wife led him to see the conflict from both sides. The powder-keg situation needs only a spark to bring war, and violent bigots like Lieut. Rob Dancy are all too likely to provide this. Meanwhile, Bridger's chance of preventing catastrophe is dimmed by equally wrenching personal conflicts. Unusually accurate historically.

“The White Man’s promises are written in water.” That’s the view of the veteran Sioux chief who has had enough of their false promises that try to appease whilst they simultaneously build more forts and drive his people from their traditional territory. “Bridger” (Van Heflin) has been drafted in by fair-minded colonel “Carrington” (Preston Foster) to try and facilitate the construction of a new fort. He has a Cheyenne wife and is known and trusted by “Red Cloud” so he manages to get their reluctant consent, so long as no one from either side harms the other. Arrogant young trouble maker “Lt. Dancy” (Alex Nicol) isn’t one to care about the niceties of their treaty and when he guns down a young lad whom he assumes was trying to steal an horse, all bets are off. Can “Bridger” manage to broker
