Across the Plains (1910 film)

Across the Plains is a 1910 American short silent Western film directed by Francis Boggs and produced by the Selig Polyscope Company. The film features a storyline centered around the dangers and hardships of westward expansion in the United States. Details about the plot and cast are limited due to the incomplete nature of film preservation from this era, but it is understood to depict pioneers traversing the plains, likely encountering conflicts with Native Americans, and facing challenges like harsh weather and scarce resources. As with many films from this period, Across the Plains contributed to the romanticized and often stereotypical depiction of the American West in popular culture. Due to its age, the film is considered to be in the public domain.
