A woman comes in and puts on holster and pistol, ready to go and fight. She leaves, and he looks even more glum. Back to the cavalry, riding in formation, galloping towards the camera with flag. The pedigree of this film is unclear, but the soldiers look to be pre-WW1 vintage, perhaps shot for use in a Western. Brief sequence at end of gunslinger type clambering over rocks.

Interesting shot of Indians (Native Americans) helping the British Redcoats fight the Americans during the Revolutionary War. Footage shot in the 1910s or 1920s, recreated for that period. Indians look much different than they would later become for Hollywood. First shot is a back shot, as they run out, axes flying in the air. A bunch of Redcoats are seen from the back with bayonets, but it's becoming a chaotic mob scene, possible a slaughter/massacre. WS chaos in a town (house in f/g) Indian axes a dead person on the ground twice and runs off. MS Raping and pillaging (men chasing women, general destruction) Hand-to-hand combat. Made for silent film days. More appropriate as film history or as history of our impressions of Native Americans than it is as stock
