Production.
"Liberty, a Daughter of the USA" was the first purely Western serial, although Western elements were included in earlier serials such as "The Perils of Pauline" (1914). A print of "Liberty" was one of the primary footage sources used for the compilation film "The Revenge of Pancho Villa" (1930–36).
