War Paint

Go West Young Man. . .

George Alwood III, is a spoiled and rich young man who heads west to

become a mountain man in 1825. Taken under wing by two experienced

old mountain men, George Alwood the third becomes Bear Killer the

mountain man. After a short visit with Shoshoni Indians, Bear Killer finds

himself with an unwanted wife and though he resist's, he eventually

learns to love her. A cold and hard winter in the mountains brings him

closer to his bride, as he learns to live as a mountain man, and just

before spring she informs him a child will soon come. Content now, with a

canvas shelter, campfire, dried meat, and soon to be family, Bear Killer

reflects on his rich and pampered background. 


After his wife and unborn child are killed by white men, the young mountain

 man makes a promise to avenge their deaths and he's swept up into a deep

sense of rage. He finds, however, the men he is searching for are hard men to pin down and

even harder to kill.
