The Trail of '98

The Trail of '98 is a 1928 American synchronized sound action-adventure/drama film featuring Harry Carey and Dolores del Río about the Klondike Gold Rush.

While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score, with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process.

The film was originally released by MGM in a short-lived widescreen process called "Fantom Screen".

While shooting the rapids sequence, four stuntmen drowned in the Copper River, including Jerome Bauten, Howard Daughters,[3] and Ray “Red” Thompson, who trained horses for cliff dives.
