Thanks for the history lesson. I didn't know the Oregon Guard was involved.

There is a scene showing about a battalion or brigade of Confederate cavalry Retreating.

The locomotive keeps going and then you see Union infantry supported by wagon trains advancing. This movie.
is kooky/odd but it has good attention to detail and lots of action.

Correction, The movie went way over budget and cost 750 grand. Actor/Director/StuntmamBuster Keaton was in the dog house with the movie studio.

LTC Trent Klug I've seen it before but not colorized. He was the Tom Cruise of the 1920s. He could have been killed many times over!

TCM occasionally airs this on their late night silent movie series as well.
