The Bushwhackers (1951)

Not A Bad Western


This is a pretty good western drama. Good cast and fairly interesting story concerning the railroad and bushwhacking gunmen. The film is set in a time right after the civil war ended and many railroads were starting to be built.

Artemus Taylor, his daughter Norah and a couple of roughnecks try to run the rest of the town out of the area by bushwhacking them in order to claim their land for themselves and sell that land to the railroad. Once the town starts piecing together the puzzle they have to find a way to fight back against the bushwhackers. There is one man that might can help save the townspeople, Jefferson Waring. Waring was in in the in civil war but swore to never use a gun again - can he, will he help the townsfolk?

Worth watching if you Western films.

7.5/10
