Indian Wars Refought by United States Army -- November 13, 2014

Moving Picture World, 14-Nobember-1914

Both Colonel William F Cody (Buffalo Bill) and General Nelson A Miles had served in the Civil War and the Indian Wars.  Both men won the Congressional Medal of Honor.  The Colonel William F Cody (Buffalo Bill) Historical Pictures Company produced a six-reel feature about the Indian Wars.  It featured the two men and "One Thousand Indians, Many Famous Chiefs and 1000 U. S. Troops."  I suspect it is lost.
