Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Tumbleweeds is a 1925 silent Western film about the Cherokee Strip Land Run of 1893. It was the last film of notable silent cowboy star William S. Hart.For years, cowboys have been grazing their cattle on the open range of the Cherokee Strip, but all that's coming to an end now. The U.S. government has decided to open up that land to settlement. At first, cowboys Don Carver (Hart) and Kentucky Rose (Lucien Littlefield) are not happy about this development, but then, they discover that some of these incoming homesteaders are quite pretty, such as Molly (Barbara Bedford) and Widow Riley (Lillian Leighton). However, their dreams may be ruined by the duplicitous "sooners" Noll (J. Gordon Russell) and Freel (Richard Neill).In 1939, the film was rereleased with a talkie prologue.

Samus Is a Girl: "That ain't no homesteader — it's a woman." Turns out women can be homesteaders too.

Twilight of the Old West: The film is set in 1893, when one of the last "wild" areas was given over to homesteaders. Carver announces, "Boys — it's the last of the West."
