Colourful Sam Katzman French-Indian War movie, presumably cranked out because he'd had success with a version of Last of the Mohicans. This has Jon Hall as an Indian sympathetic to the British and the story revolves around the 1753 Battle of Fort Necessity, which the Americans-British actually lost.
Mary Castle is a French spy. James Seay is George Washington, who has a big role. There's also historical figures like Christopher Gist - I always enjoy how Robert E. Kent flicked through the old encyclopedia for his films.
It doesn't break much new ground but it's in colour, there's some action, the setting is novel. Hall isn't amazing but he has a character to play.
