You can watch The Big Trail (1930) for free on Hoopla.

Young scout Breck Coleman leads a wagon train along the dangerous trail to Oregon as he tries to get the affection of the beautiful pioneer Ruth Cameron and plans his revenge on the harsh scoundrels who murdered a friend of his in the past.

A pre-fame version of the legendary icon brings a rugged, unpolished energy to this sprawling trek across the American wilderness. Wide-angle lenses capture the immense scale of the wagon train as it battles both treacherous terrain and a vendetta.
