Rating: B+ --
Raoul Walsh believed that John Wayne would become a big star after his epic Western but he did not. A combo of factors account for this failure, not just Wayne's stiff acting but also the cool reception of the horseopera itself.

...It's a splendid entertainment....The film's look and feel seem way ahead of its time...
Los Angeles Times
Integrating the settlers' passionate mortal conflicts into the landscape, Walsh turns the theatrical limitations of early sound technique to an advantage, composing vast, static tableaux with the mighty breadth and noble pace of epic stanzas.

Rating: 3/5 --
Interesting early wide-screen spectacle with indifferent acting and story.

Rating: B- --
John Ford recommended to his friend Walsh bit-part actor Marion Morrison for the lead, and for his first starring role he took the name John Wayne...

...It comes off as one of the better early talkies...

More historical than anything, but a must for Wayne fans.
Kansas City Kansan
Product Description:
Pioneers heading for Oregon endure the hardships of weather, unfriendly strangers and internal strife in this sophisticated early sound film. Featuring John Wayne in his first starring role, this straightforward Western tale is now overshadowed by its place in history as an early example of Fox's widescreen Grandeur process, its naturalistic sound, and prototypical Wayne performance.
