I can remember watching this as a kid in the 1970s. All I can remember is the end. It was in a wooden fort, there were a couple of women, a couple of men who weren’t in uniform, and presumably post-civil war cavalry offiers/men. At the end the fort was attacked by (I think Native Americans) and burnt down with a woman and a civilian man the only survivors. I’m guessing it was a 1950s/60s oater and I’ve never come across it again! Thanks in advance for any hints…

Quote from the above Wikipedia plot:
“With all the soldiers dead, and he himself seriously wounded, Chuka hides with Helena Chavez while the victorious Arapahos take the fort’s supplies and leave.”

Are You sure it was a fort, or it could be a coah station or something like that? Or there were more characters than those described? Two men seem too few for an entire fort. The decription seems vaguely familiar to me, but I have about 1000 westerns rated on IMDb, most of them pre-1970s, so I need few hints to narrow it down :)
– StjepanIt was a wooden fort as I remember. There was an army garrison, but there were also some civilians - the two men and women, as well as the officers and men. It's been 40 years+ since I've seen it so I can't remember much else, sorry!
