| Description: | INDIANS ATTACKS COVERED WAGONS Mock up of attack by Native Americans on a Wild West Wagon train "Indians Attack Covered Wagons. Washington - Paleface train of pioneers meets perils of plains on trek across District of Colombia." Washington DC, United States of America. Mock up of train of covered wagons as used in the Wild West. The reconstruction is spoilt slightly by seeing motor cars in the background. "Making war whoopee!" Various shots of the wagons pulled into a circle and being fired upon by men on horses dressed as "Red Indians" (Native Americans / American Indians). Again the reconstruction is spoilt by seeing raised seating in the background. "Saved - by the President's Cavalry". Men dressed as soldiers of the US Cavalry ride onto the scene to see off the attacking forces. | |
