3.0 out of 5 stars Peace treaty is violated and US Army responds: "Sioux me!", January 20, 2009

By	Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Set in Wyoming in 1866, TOMAHAWK features mountain man Jim Bridger.

After gold is discovered on Sioux land, the U.S. Army's plans to open up the Bozeman Trail anger the natives, whose previous treaty had already been violated when an unauthorized fort was built. Jim Bridger (Heflin) tries to keep a tense situation from escalating into all-out war, but when an Indian-hating cavalry lieutenant (Nicol) murders a young Sioux the tribe prepares for battle. (Watch for Rock Hudson in a peripheral role, as Burt Hanna.)


As of 1/09, "Tomahawk" was not available on DVD.
