A 1956 American adventure western romance film directed by Kurt Neumann, starring Scott Brady, Rita Gam and Neville Brand. The picture is about an 18th century Boston artist sent to the Mohawk Valley to paint landscapes and portraits of Native Americans.
Several sections of the plot are taken from the 1939 film Drums Along the Mohawk and loosely refers to the 1778 Cherry Valley massacre (as does the main antagonist Butler to the historic figure of loyalist officer Walter Butler).
In the 18th century, American artist Jonathan Adams (Scott Brady) is working in Mohawk territoy, where he paints the local scenery. Before long, he meets and falls in love with Native American woman Onida (Rita Gam), but the couple’s happiness is interrupted when land tycoon Butler (John Hoyt) deviously pits incoming white settlers against the Mohawk people. Jonathan and his lover are caught in the middle of a violent feud, and the natives become suspicious of the American living among them.
