Liberty (also known as Liberty, A Daughter of the USA) is a 1916 American Westernfilm serial directed by Jacques Jaccard and Henry MacRae, and was the first purely Western serial ever made. The film is now presumed to be lost.[2] It is one of the most popular serials of all time.[1]
Plot
Liberty Horton, an American heiress, is kidnapped by a Mexican rebel and ransomed to fund his rebellion.
Liberty, a Daughter of the USA was the first purely Western serial, although Western elements were included in earlier serials such as The Perils of Pauline (1914).[3] A print of Liberty was one of the primary footage sources used for the compilation film The Revenge of Pancho Villa (1930–36).[4]
