The Trail of the Lonesome Pine
The Trail of the Lonesome Pine is a 1923 American silent Western film directed by Charles Maigne and starring Mary Miles Minter. It was adapted by Will M. Ritchey from the play and novel of the same name by John Fox Jr. This was the second time that Maigne had directed Minter in an adaptation of a Fox novel, the first being 1920's A Cumberland Romance. This was Minter's final film; her contract with Paramount Pictures was not renewed, and she stated that she was "through" with films. As with many of Minter's features, The Trail of the Lonesome Pine is thought to be a lost film.
Plot
As described in various film magazine reviews, June Tolliver (Minter) is a girl of the Kentucky mountains, whose clan has been feuding with the Falins for generations. When engineer John Hale (Moreno) comes to the mountains to aid in the development of the coal and iron industries, June falls in love with the handsome "furriner" (foreigner).
