Trivia
Tom Horn was a civilian scout in the Apache Wars (between 1849 and 1886), in Arizona. He saw heavy action in numerous fights with Apache warriors. He eventually rose to the position of Chief of Scouts. Tom Horn was also present at Geronimo's final surrender at Skeleton Canyon, Arizona, on September 4, 1886, acting as an interpreter. Geronimo was said to have been so impressed by his knowledge of the Apache language that he gave Tom Horn an Apache medicine bag with rocks, small bones and other sacred objects. Tom Horn had the contents up until his hanging and he never let people touch them. Geronimo, still a prisoner of war in 1903, later heard about Tom Horn's unfair hanging and commented that Tom Horn had been a great warrior, and he also believed him innocent.

Best acting job by Widmark and Carradine

Carradine is remarkable as he becomes Tom Horn and Widmark Playing a crippled up old scout was magnificent.Supporting cast and direction were top drawer. No movie was better made than than this TV endeaver.I can never forget Widmark saying to Mr. Horn " My good leg is now my bad leg".
