This lean story was surprisingly touching and exciting. A combination of western and mining town story, it hits some of the same themes as works like Warlock and Deadwood, without ever quite hitting their majestic heights.

Als Breck Coleman führt John Wayne hier einen Siedlertreck von Missouri nach Westen und sieht sich dabei von Schneestürmen bis hin zu Indianerüberfällen mit all dem konfrontiert, was ein solches Unternehmen zu einem lebensgefährlichen Wagnis machte. Aber auch der ungesühnte Mord an seinem Freund lässt Breck so lange nicht ruhen, bis er den Täter (Tyrone Power Sr.) im Schneesturm von Oregon endlich stellen und die Siedler an ihr Ziel führen kann. Inszeniert von Regielegende Raoul Walsh ("Die wilden Zwanziger", "Der Dieb von Bagdad") ist "Der große Treck nicht nur einer der ersten großen Tonfilm-Western überhaupt, er markiert gleichzeitig auch die erste Hauptrolle von Marion Michael Morrison, dem Walsh für den Film den Künstlernamen "John Wayne" verpasste. u.a. im Grand Canyon und weiteren Nationalparks entstanden, überzeugt der spektakuläre Frühwestern auch durch seinen Realismus in der Darstellung schier unmenschlicher Strapazen auf dem berühmten Oregon-Trail.… (altro)

I rarely stay up late into the night to find out what happens in a book, but this one is so well written that I was hooked. I couldn't wait to find out what happened to the hero, Jeff Randall. He is branded on the chest with a D, signifying an Army deserter. The story of his disfigurement is revealed later in the book. He meets the daughter of the base commander, a major who has a heart condition and is planning retirement. The fast-paced story holds the reader till the end, which left me totally unsatisfied. I am a "hero gets the girl and lives happily ever after" type, and this sudden ending is a big letdown. The author leaves the true ending up to the reader, and I hate that! Randall is just going to ride away without even saying goodbye to the girl? It was odd, and I had to check the binding to see if another, final chapter was missing. But, if you like to, in effect, write your own ending, this book is an ideal platform. I just wanted finality from the author, but didn't get it. But, as an exciting read, it is great!… (altro)
