This story is the perturbation Of the

James Cruze.
Emerson Hough was one Of the fore
most writer's of the west. He said
just before his death that he had reach

witnessed the screen success Of his
greatest endeavor. The timeliness of
his theme in this particular is that 1t

backwash OF the war. Contrasted with
that ill-timed movement of aggression.
the story Of how these men and
women of great courage and high
resolution set forth upon their perilous
trip of 1000 miles across the uncharted
plains and desert, is inspiring.
In the covered wagons drawn by
oxen and reeling off an average of
twelve miles a day, they laughed and
sang and loved and suffered, and fought
to build what is now the great western
heart of this greatest of all countries
There is romance and adventure in
every forward move of the winding
trains, as they trek onward and on
ward toward the end of their 1000
