The Devil-s Doorway !!top!! Site

The narrative follows Lance Poole (Robert Taylor), a Shoshone rancher who returns from the Civil War as a decorated sergeant major and recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Despite his service and high standing, he discovers that a new law—the Homestead Act—classifies him as a "ward of the government" rather than a citizen, making it illegal for him to own the very land his family has held for generations. This creates what film scholars describe as an "unstable civic identity," where Poole fluctuates between trying to integrate into white society and being forced into a separatist defense of his heritage.
