Features

The eldest daughter of Hatter, beautiful and wayward and arrogant, long ago deprived March of peace. The girl's name is Judith, and she has a younger sister - Hattie. The younger Miss Hutter does not have a vivid beauty, but the heart is good than, unfortunately, Harry, can not boast of the eldest.

The events in the film unfold on the background of picturesque landscapes, which indigenous people do not appreciate. They, instead of enjoying the beauties of the pristine American nature, lead an uncompromising, bitter struggle. This war ends tragically. Daughter of the youngest daughter of Hatter.
