    • Quotes

      Opening crawl: Fort Osage, Missouri, was the gateway to the gold fields of California - and the dream of riches. It was located on the eastern edge of the Osage Indian territory, beyond which lay the Great Plains, the Rockies - and finally, California. Day after day, wagons from all over America rolled into Fort Osage to assemble and prepare for the last lap of the great overland trek to the west coast. The incoming emigrants brought out the worst in booming Fort Osage, and Fort Osage brought out the worst in the emigrants.

    Fort Osage
    A frontier scout hired to lead a wagon train from Missouri to the gold fields in California finds out that the two men organising the journey are ruthlessly exploiting the people under their protection. They have also broken a treaty with the local Osage Indian tribe, putting everyone's lives in danger.

    Fort Osage is a routine western monogram programmer with the expected fist fights, chases, and shootouts, round this up with a workmanlike plot and you get a pretty diverting little nugget. For diehard western fans, especially of old-fashioned kind. Rod Cameron does his usual sturdy acting, playing a firm yet honourable figure who recognises that the Osage are on the warpath for a reason. Douglas Kennedy does what he does best and provides the villainy.
