Tumbleweeds is a 1925 silent Western film directed by King Baggot and starring William S. Hart. The story is set during the Cherokee Strip land rush of 1893, where settlers raced to claim land in Oklahoma. The film follows Don Carver, a cowboy who finds himself caught between the old ways of the open range and the new era of homesteaders. As Carver navigates the challenges of the land rush, he encounters love, rivalry, and the end of the cowboy era. The film is celebrated for its thrilling depiction of the land rush and is considered one of Hart's finest works. It was also his final film, marking the end of an era in silent Westerns.
