A 1956 American Western co-directed by Albert C. Gannaway and Ismael
Rodríguez, shot in Mexico and released through Republic Pictures. Bruce
Bennett stars as Daniel Boone, leading a wagon train of settlers into
Kentucky while fending off Shawnee warriors stirred up by the French
renegade Simon Girty. Lon Chaney Jr. plays the Shawnee chief Blackfish,
and country singer Faron Young appears as a settler — one of several
Gannaway productions to cast Nashville stars. The film is in the public
domain after its copyright went unrenewed, and it has been a fixture of
budget western compilations ever since.
