Guide Whitman Fends Off Sioux. Immigrant Valley Triumphs
In a mid 1800s frontier tale, Guide Whitman dodges Sioux and rival whites while retreating through a hostile valley. His horse Hector carries him past a mounted siege as Captain Richmond’s force appears, and a cliffside shout signals safe escape to mountaintops. The scene closes with Whitman urged to press on as the settlers reach Bellevue and claim a new valley home.
