The protagonist searches the endless Texas wilderness to find his niece captured by the Indians. By the time she was finally found, she had grown up and integrated into the Indian society. Years of searching seems pointless. In the end, he killed all the Indians, took back his niece, and got only the ending he wanted.
Therefore, in the endless pursuit in the wilderness, the goal is no longer important, the important thing is the pursuit itself.
The endless wilderness of westerns and civilizations in the wilderness, form the frontier. The border between meaning and nonsense, the border between whites and Indians. Although the protagonist has a firm stand, in his firm stand, we see that the boundaries are blurred and the stand is questioned.
