On March 26, 1865, a detachment of confederate cavalry crossed the state line into California under secret orders from Gen. Robert E. Lee to rendezvous at Ghost Mountain with one Cole Smith, with instructions to place the flag atop the mountain. Though their mission failed the heroism displayed by this gallant men honored the cause for which they fought so valiantly.

Errol Flynn is an ever gallant fellow, but he seems to carry gallantry too far in Warner Brothers’ Rocky Mountain. So far, in fact, does he carry it in guiding a beautiful dame from a horde of ravaging Indians that he ends up as full of arrows as a war-bonnet is full of feathers. And that’s about as far as one can go. — Bosley Crowther
