Westward Ho the Wagons! (Film), released 1956 — adapted from Children of the covered wagon by Mary Jane Carr.

A calm, clear-thinking pioneer attempts to lead a wagon train through territory occupied by Pawnees and Sioux. Along the way, the hardy settlers face horse thieves, kidnappers, and unpredictable Indian attacks in their push to establish a new life in the rugged West.
