The Spirit of the Border

Jim Girty and his brothers incite acts of savagery and war against white settlers.One of Jim Girtys targets is the Village of Peace, a settlement of Christian Indians who have been converted by Moravian missionaries. Under the preaching of Reverend Jim Downs, the Christian faith is gaining a foothold. Girty and his ruffians, playing on the fear and hostility of surrounding tribes, incite them to gather at the village where they throw the ominous war club to the ground.
