As twilight blankets the country, a covered wagon hurtles through the sagebrush, propelled by the urgency of its drivers. Native American riders flank their wagon in an imposing presence. The dramatic poses of the drivers, limbs in the air, convey a fierce determination and sense of danger. The use of lighting and dynamic action creates an enthralling scene of electrifying intensity characteristic of the untamed West.
