Breakheart Pass has the trappings of a classic western: a fine old steam train carrying a detachment of soldiers makes its way through picturesque but hostile country. Everyone aboard is fearful of Indian attack, yet bravely determined to relieve an isolated garrison whose force has been decimated by disease. From these elements one might well fashion an outdoor drama of stark simplicity, a clean-lined action picture of the sort no one seems to make any more.

He crossed off all the unpronouncable Indian names like Trobigzanda and replaced them with good Stuart ones like Anne. The river, in a characteristic breach of modesty, he names for himself: the Charles Riber. Like Champlain, Captain Smith represented the river as a broad high-way to the Pacific. But only for three leagues; he had never been beyond that so he left it blank and hoped no one would notice...
