Censorship
Before The Fighting Shepherdess could be exhibited in Kansas, the Kansas Board of Review required the removal of several scenes, including all scenes of drinking and drunk people. Other eliminations were the scene of a mixed-race man attacks a woman and the intertitle "Katie you'll make a fine squaw for some feller, you're sure takin' on shape."[4]
