1
00:01:58,384 --> 00:02:00,453
- Hi Marj, we're here.
2
00:02:00,487 --> 00:02:02,789
How are you? - Hello darling.
3
00:02:02,822 --> 00:02:05,625
- Thank you so much for doing this for us.
4
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,896
- There's my guy. Ooh.
5
00:02:11,998 --> 00:02:13,867
You've grown so much.
6
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:15,435
Ooh, so big. Come on.
7
00:02:20,607 --> 00:02:21,474
- Thanks mom.
8
00:02:21,508 --> 00:02:22,876
You've got the package?
9
00:02:22,909 --> 00:02:23,877
And you think he'll read it?
10
00:02:23,910 --> 00:02:25,245
- You did.
11
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:26,846
He's no more spoiled than you were.
12
00:02:28,715 --> 00:02:29,883
- A good report.
13
00:02:29,916 --> 00:02:31,651
We'll be up in the mountains next weekend.
14
00:02:31,684 --> 00:02:32,819
- Love you, sweetheart.
15
00:02:38,658 --> 00:02:41,661
- That sounds like a pretty square deal.
16
00:02:41,694 --> 00:02:43,496
Do you like camping?
17
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:44,931
- He'll find a reason to miss it.
18
00:02:44,964 --> 00:02:46,466
Business trip or something.
19
00:02:48,735 --> 00:02:50,670
Come on. - What?
20
00:02:50,703 --> 00:02:51,905
- Help me with something.
21
00:02:56,543 --> 00:02:57,443
Open this.
22
00:03:00,446 --> 00:03:04,751
Oh, your father used to love to play
23
00:03:04,784 --> 00:03:06,886
with all this old stuff.
24
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:08,555
When he was little.
25
00:03:08,588 --> 00:03:09,822
- What is it?
26
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:11,858
- It's a dream catcher.
27
00:03:11,891 --> 00:03:14,327
Your great, great grandfather got this
28
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,896
from a Sioux medicine man.
29
00:03:16,930 --> 00:03:18,464
Set great store by it.
30
00:03:19,732 --> 00:03:21,734
- Indians. Wow!
31
00:03:21,768 --> 00:03:22,969
What does it do?
32
00:03:23,002 --> 00:03:24,604
- Catches dreams. What'd you think?
33
00:03:25,972 --> 00:03:28,808
All of Jacob McKay's life is in this box.
34
00:03:34,380 --> 00:03:35,682
Don't cut your ear off.
35
00:03:35,715 --> 00:03:37,650
That's a scalping knife.
36
00:03:37,684 --> 00:03:38,985
- Real scalps.
37
00:03:39,018 --> 00:03:40,453
- Are there other kinds?
38
00:03:41,454 --> 00:03:42,622
If you like that,
39
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:46,426
you're gonna love this.
40
00:03:46,459 --> 00:03:48,728
- Wow. Does it shoot?
41
00:03:48,761 --> 00:03:49,862
- I suspect it does.
42
00:03:52,365 --> 00:03:53,433
- What was he like?
43
00:03:53,466 --> 00:03:54,334
Jacob, I mean.
44
00:03:55,735 --> 00:03:59,372
- Jacob McKay was a boy about your age when he came West.
45
00:04:00,873 --> 00:04:02,375
It's all right here.
46
00:04:03,409 --> 00:04:04,944
- A diary?
47
00:04:04,978 --> 00:04:05,812
- Journal.
48
00:04:07,447 --> 00:04:11,017
It was your grandpa's, then your fathers, now it's yours.
49
00:04:12,118 --> 00:04:12,952
- Mine?
50
00:04:12,986 --> 00:04:14,621
- You're a McKay.
51
00:04:14,654 --> 00:04:15,655
It's important for you to know
52
00:04:15,688 --> 00:04:18,391
about your people, your family.
53
00:04:18,424 --> 00:04:19,559
Read this.
54
00:04:29,035 --> 00:04:31,771
- A great animal is like crashing thunder
55
00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:34,841
or maybe the sound of roaring wind.
56
00:05:03,503 --> 00:05:05,905
Whoa!
57
00:05:22,155 --> 00:05:25,458
- As I, Jacob McKay, write these words,
58
00:05:25,491 --> 00:05:27,393
I'm in my 75th year.
59
00:05:28,661 --> 00:05:32,465
To you, my posterity, my family yet unborn,
60
00:05:32,498 --> 00:05:36,636
I leave a record of the most significant events in my life.
61
00:05:36,669 --> 00:05:40,473
Events that changed me and my thinking forever.
62
00:05:44,110 --> 00:05:47,714
I was only 14 in the year 1850,
63
00:05:47,747 --> 00:05:50,183
and that was the year our family came West.
64
00:05:50,216 --> 00:05:52,819
My father, John McKay had been a shipwright
65
00:05:52,852 --> 00:05:55,154
in New Hampshire his entire life.
66
00:05:55,188 --> 00:05:57,657
So he decided to make a new beginning
67
00:05:57,690 --> 00:06:00,893
for the family in the gold fields of California.
68
00:06:00,927 --> 00:06:02,528
It was late in the fall
69
00:06:02,562 --> 00:06:05,898
and we'd been left behind by the rest of the wagon train.
70
00:06:05,932 --> 00:06:08,101
My mother's name was Emma.
71
00:06:08,134 --> 00:06:10,203
She was a strong and willful woman,
72
00:06:10,236 --> 00:06:12,438
but a loving and caring person.
73
00:06:12,472 --> 00:06:14,207
I don't think she was too happy to leave.
74
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,509
She was expecting a third child
75
00:06:16,542 --> 00:06:18,211
and the trip had been hard for her.
76
00:06:18,244 --> 00:06:20,813
My younger brother Toby was excited about coming.
77
00:06:20,847 --> 00:06:22,215
He loved it.
78
00:06:22,248 --> 00:06:23,783
And I guess I did too.
79
00:06:24,951 --> 00:06:27,553
I'd read quite a lot about the West.
80
00:06:27,587 --> 00:06:29,155
of all the things I wanted to see,
81
00:06:30,590 --> 00:06:32,492
I wanted to see a real mountain man
82
00:06:32,525 --> 00:06:34,026
more than anything in the world.
83
00:06:36,062 --> 00:06:39,799
My family had sold everything before we began the trip.
84
00:06:39,832 --> 00:06:41,667
When I left New Hampshire my school master
85
00:06:41,701 --> 00:06:44,837
gave me this journal to record an account of the journey.
86
00:06:44,871 --> 00:06:47,106
Mother's been sick and forced us to stop
87
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:48,808
while she regained her strength.
88
00:06:55,081 --> 00:06:56,883
What little my parents owned,
89
00:06:56,916 --> 00:06:59,519
it all fit into one small wagon.
90
00:07:01,788 --> 00:07:03,589
- Hold up here.
91
00:07:03,623 --> 00:07:04,490
Whoa.
92
00:07:21,941 --> 00:07:25,278
Did you and your brother feed and water the animals?
93
00:07:25,311 --> 00:07:26,712
- Yes, sir.
94
00:07:26,746 --> 00:07:27,747
- I did all the work.
95
00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:28,714
- You did not.
96
00:07:28,748 --> 00:07:29,916
You just complained about it.
97
00:07:29,949 --> 00:07:31,717
- There is enough work to go around here
98
00:07:31,751 --> 00:07:33,786
without you arguing about who did what.
99
00:07:35,922 --> 00:07:37,023
Do you write every day?
100
00:07:40,059 --> 00:07:40,927
- I try to.
101
00:07:41,994 --> 00:07:42,862
- That's good.
102
00:07:43,996 --> 00:07:45,531
Writing is very important.
103
00:07:47,166 --> 00:07:49,869
Might've been you could have done something with it.
104
00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:53,706
Now...
105
00:07:58,244 --> 00:08:00,012
- Papa. - Yes.
106
00:08:00,046 --> 00:08:02,682
- Are we gonna be rich in California?
107
00:08:02,715 --> 00:08:05,852
- We're not going to California to get rich.
108
00:08:05,885 --> 00:08:09,856
God willing, we may create a better life for ourselves.
109
00:08:12,258 --> 00:08:14,927
- Our life was so terrible in New Hampshire.
110
00:08:18,764 --> 00:08:20,733
- When you work for someone else
111
00:08:20,766 --> 00:08:24,704
no matter how comfortable you are, you really have nothing,
112
00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:27,306
nothing of any value at any rate.
113
00:08:29,242 --> 00:08:31,611
Like the freedom to make your own choices.
114
00:08:35,381 --> 00:08:37,750
- Do you think we'll meet a mountain man?
115
00:08:37,783 --> 00:08:39,285
- Not likely.
116
00:08:39,318 --> 00:08:41,921
That's probably the only mountain man we'll see..
117
00:08:43,089 --> 00:08:45,625
- Yeah, ain't none left no more.
118
00:08:45,658 --> 00:08:48,895
- Any! There aren't any anymore.
119
00:08:50,196 --> 00:08:51,631
Obviously wasting my time
120
00:08:51,664 --> 00:08:53,165
trying to teach you good grammar.
121
00:09:22,695 --> 00:09:23,796
- It's a bear!
122
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:26,265
- Wake up.
123
00:09:28,801 --> 00:09:29,869
Come on boys!
124
00:09:31,804 --> 00:09:32,672
Go! Go!
125
00:10:39,805 --> 00:10:42,908
The axle's broken, it's snapped in two.
126
00:10:45,811 --> 00:10:46,979
- Well, can it be fixed?
127
00:10:52,284 --> 00:10:53,853
- Not before the snow comes.
128
00:10:55,521 --> 00:10:57,957
- This is more than bad luck John.
129
00:10:57,990 --> 00:10:59,859
Winters too close.
130
00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:02,795
- We'll have to build a shelter.
131
00:11:02,828 --> 00:11:06,098
I know we can salvage a lot of this.
132
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,268
- It was too late in the season to go.
133
00:11:11,203 --> 00:11:12,238
Everyone told us that.
134
00:11:13,472 --> 00:11:15,207
- We will survive.
135
00:11:15,241 --> 00:11:16,108
God willing.
136
00:11:16,142 --> 00:11:19,412
- God is not willing.
137
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:25,151
That ought to be clear by now.
138
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:27,853
What about the children?
139
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:34,727
Jacob gave up a chance to have a real education.
140
00:11:37,196 --> 00:11:41,400
John McKay, you know about building ships
141
00:11:41,434 --> 00:11:44,103
not about how to build a life out here.
142
00:11:49,175 --> 00:11:51,310
You don't know anything about this country?
143
00:11:52,278 --> 00:11:53,879
None of us do.
144
00:11:57,283 --> 00:11:59,218
Now we're going to have to pay the price
145
00:11:59,251 --> 00:12:01,387
for this dream of yours.
146
00:12:03,222 --> 00:12:05,291
Including this child I'm carrying.
147
00:12:06,926 --> 00:12:08,994
- Emma, there's plenty of time before-
148
00:12:09,028 --> 00:12:09,895
- No there isn't.
149
00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:14,066
There isn't.
150
00:12:17,036 --> 00:12:18,270
I didn't want to worry you.
151
00:12:20,506 --> 00:12:25,077
The baby's due in two months, not four.
152
00:12:29,515 --> 00:12:30,816
I tried to hide it!
153
00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:43,529
- It looks like the mules went off that way into the trees.
154
00:12:43,562 --> 00:12:45,131
I don't know about the goats.
155
00:12:46,432 --> 00:12:49,935
- We'll have to look for 'em.
156
00:12:49,969 --> 00:12:51,937
We have to worry about surviving first.
157
00:13:19,165 --> 00:13:20,299
- Can't carry the meat.
158
00:13:22,101 --> 00:13:23,836
Hides ain't worth nothing no more.
159
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,141
We're like that see?
160
00:13:31,143 --> 00:13:32,144
Past our time.
161
00:13:36,549 --> 00:13:38,284
Could be settlers here already.
162
00:13:46,425 --> 00:13:48,194
- Roots, berries.
163
00:13:49,695 --> 00:13:51,897
Anything we can use.
164
00:13:51,931 --> 00:13:53,299
Be careful.
165
00:13:53,332 --> 00:13:55,000
Don't go too far.
166
00:13:55,034 --> 00:13:56,502
Don't take any chances.
167
00:13:58,137 --> 00:13:59,638
Jacob. You're in charge.
168
00:14:02,274 --> 00:14:03,209
Whether you find the animals or not
169
00:14:03,242 --> 00:14:05,344
I want you back by sundown.
170
00:14:05,377 --> 00:14:06,245
- Yes, sir.
171
00:14:08,981 --> 00:14:10,349
- Watch out for your little brother.
172
00:14:10,382 --> 00:14:11,417
- Okay.
173
00:14:11,450 --> 00:14:12,351
Come on hurry up.
174
00:14:20,426 --> 00:14:21,293
Where did you get that?
175
00:14:21,327 --> 00:14:22,928
- Found him.
176
00:14:22,962 --> 00:14:24,563
- Well put him down. We don't have time for that.
177
00:14:30,269 --> 00:14:31,103
- I'm hungry.
178
00:14:32,271 --> 00:14:33,672
Can I have some of these berries we found?
179
00:14:33,706 --> 00:14:36,642
- I told you that we have to save...
180
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:40,546
How many of you already had?
181
00:14:42,514 --> 00:14:43,382
- Not many?
182
00:14:45,317 --> 00:14:47,019
Hey look!
183
00:14:50,556 --> 00:14:52,091
- Indians.
184
00:14:52,124 --> 00:14:53,259
- Let's get outta here.
185
00:14:53,292 --> 00:14:54,260
- No, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
186
00:14:56,028 --> 00:14:57,529
Maybe there's no one there.
187
00:14:57,563 --> 00:14:58,564
Maybe they all left.
188
00:15:00,499 --> 00:15:03,269
Could be something we could use in there.
189
00:15:03,302 --> 00:15:04,169
Come on.
190
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,309
- Look at all this stuff.
191
00:15:11,710 --> 00:15:14,546
- You know I think someone lives here.
192
00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:16,348
I think we better go.
193
00:15:34,033 --> 00:15:36,568
- Let's take some of this.
194
00:15:36,602 --> 00:15:38,737
- Are you crazy? Do you want to get scalped?
195
00:15:44,810 --> 00:15:46,378
- What do you suppose this is?
196
00:15:47,346 --> 00:15:48,213
- I dunno.
197
00:15:50,182 --> 00:15:51,583
Maybe something to catch fish.
198
00:15:56,288 --> 00:15:58,524
- We were just looking for food.
199
00:16:05,364 --> 00:16:08,334
- It means Dark Wind. That's his name.
200
00:16:10,235 --> 00:16:12,271
He wants to know what you're doing in his lean-to.
201
00:16:12,304 --> 00:16:13,539
- Most of my life,
202
00:16:13,572 --> 00:16:15,808
I yearned to see a real mountain man.
203
00:16:15,841 --> 00:16:17,443
And then there he was.
204
00:16:17,476 --> 00:16:19,778
It was like coming face to face with your dream.
205
00:16:19,812 --> 00:16:21,714
- Well speak up boy unless your deaf.
206
00:16:23,182 --> 00:16:24,650
What you doing with the man's possibles?
207
00:16:24,683 --> 00:16:25,551
- Uh.
208
00:16:28,220 --> 00:16:31,724
Our wagon was destroyed by a bear.
209
00:16:33,158 --> 00:16:34,426
We're looking for supplies.
210
00:16:50,209 --> 00:16:51,343
- The old man's a little angry at you
211
00:16:51,377 --> 00:16:53,112
for messing with his possessions.
212
00:16:54,513 --> 00:16:57,516
Dark Wind here's a medicine man for the Sioux.
213
00:16:57,549 --> 00:17:02,187
They regard that bear you saw as a spirit of the land.
214
00:17:02,221 --> 00:17:04,423
They call him Walking Thunder
215
00:17:04,456 --> 00:17:06,291
and it ain't safe for you to be out on your own.
216
00:17:06,325 --> 00:17:07,226
Where's your kin?
217
00:17:09,128 --> 00:17:10,329
- It's not far.
218
00:17:15,534 --> 00:17:17,236
- Hour still till dark.
219
00:17:19,671 --> 00:17:20,606
They'll be here.
220
00:17:26,178 --> 00:17:28,213
- You should have told me about the baby.
221
00:17:31,283 --> 00:17:32,785
- Yeah, I suppose I should have.
222
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:36,422
But you were intent on going?
223
00:17:37,656 --> 00:17:40,426
- I thought you wanted a new life too.
224
00:17:41,927 --> 00:17:44,897
- I've known for a long time that you weren't happy.
225
00:17:44,930 --> 00:17:46,432
You wanted something more.
226
00:17:49,468 --> 00:17:51,570
I didn't come because I wanted it
227
00:17:53,705 --> 00:17:56,241
I came because you wanted it.
228
00:17:59,278 --> 00:18:02,414
That's how it works when you love someone.
229
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,688
- Papa! Indians!
230
00:18:11,957 --> 00:18:14,259
- Old bear done you in pretty good didn't he?
231
00:18:16,395 --> 00:18:17,796
Name is Murdoch.
232
00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:19,631
Found these two rummaging through the old man's digs,
233
00:18:19,665 --> 00:18:21,600
ain't too happy about it either.
234
00:18:21,633 --> 00:18:23,836
- See a real redskin Mama,
235
00:18:23,869 --> 00:18:25,871
just like Jacob wrote about in his book.
236
00:18:27,272 --> 00:18:28,841
I thought he was going to scalp us sure.
237
00:18:30,542 --> 00:18:32,845
- Don't suppose you folks got any vittles do you?
238
00:18:32,878 --> 00:18:34,680
- We have sufficient for our needs.
239
00:18:35,981 --> 00:18:38,350
- Well, that ain't exactly what I meant.
240
00:18:38,383 --> 00:18:41,720
See the old Indian and me, we could use a hot meal
241
00:18:41,753 --> 00:18:43,655
if you're so inclined.
242
00:18:54,933 --> 00:18:59,404
- We're obliged for all your help.
243
00:18:59,438 --> 00:19:01,440
Won't you stay and take supper with us?
244
00:19:02,741 --> 00:19:04,343
Both of you.
245
00:19:04,376 --> 00:19:05,544
- Thank you kindly.
246
00:19:13,485 --> 00:19:15,621
Walking Thunder existed from the beginning.
247
00:19:17,322 --> 00:19:19,558
The ancients knew that his strength and power
248
00:19:21,293 --> 00:19:22,494
were of the great spirit.
249
00:19:23,729 --> 00:19:24,830
His footsteps-
250
00:19:24,863 --> 00:19:26,698
- His footsteps were like the rushing
251
00:19:26,732 --> 00:19:31,303
of great waters, his roar a thunderclap in the night sky.
252
00:19:32,804 --> 00:19:35,641
The bear Walking Thunder had dominion over the land.
253
00:19:40,746 --> 00:19:44,449
Dark wind was a medicine man to the Sioux nation.
254
00:19:44,483 --> 00:19:45,784
He spoke for Walking Thunder.
255
00:19:45,817 --> 00:19:48,520
He sang the death song for his eldest son.
256
00:19:49,788 --> 00:19:51,823
A great bear had taken his son's life
257
00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:53,592
in sacrifice for the old man
258
00:19:54,793 --> 00:19:56,828
right here in these very mountains.
259
00:20:05,704 --> 00:20:08,607
Dark Wind's son was known as the tribe's greatest hunter,
260
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,878
but this day Dark Wind himself had found meat for the tribe.
261
00:20:14,079 --> 00:20:15,414
It was a she-bear.
262
00:20:16,648 --> 00:20:18,350
He didn't know he'd hunted and killed
263
00:20:18,383 --> 00:20:20,752
the mate of Walking Thunder himself.
264
00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:25,424
The son had thought his father was in danger,
265
00:20:27,826 --> 00:20:29,895
the very act of trying to save his father,
266
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:35,767
was now to be an act of ultimate sacrifice.
267
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,776
His son was a swift runner
268
00:20:44,810 --> 00:20:47,312
but could never be faster than Walking Thunder.
269
00:20:48,614 --> 00:20:52,384
He said it was ordained by the great spirit.
270
00:20:56,421 --> 00:20:58,991
Dark Wind knew that the outcome of this deadly race
271
00:21:00,025 --> 00:21:01,493
was already decided.
272
00:21:01,526 --> 00:21:03,729
His son had been offered in the old man's place
273
00:21:03,762 --> 00:21:08,400
for his transgression.
274
00:21:31,156 --> 00:21:34,559
- Well, it's, it's late.
275
00:21:34,593 --> 00:21:35,961
You're welcome to stay the night with us
276
00:21:35,994 --> 00:21:37,996
and join us for breakfast in the morning.
277
00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:40,966
- Folks.
278
00:21:42,834 --> 00:21:44,670
I ain't wanting to stick my nose where it ain't wanted
279
00:21:44,703 --> 00:21:48,674
but I'll be heading up the Horse Creek Rendezvous.
280
00:21:50,042 --> 00:21:51,677
Now they ain't got an axle up there
281
00:21:51,710 --> 00:21:53,011
but they got a few things that you're gonna need
282
00:21:53,045 --> 00:21:54,012
to get through the winter.
283
00:21:55,847 --> 00:21:57,916
If you have a mind, I can do some trading for you.
284
00:21:59,117 --> 00:22:00,886
- We don't have much money.
285
00:22:02,754 --> 00:22:04,656
- It don't take much money.
286
00:22:04,690 --> 00:22:06,091
- We do need supplies John.
287
00:22:08,093 --> 00:22:08,927
- Let me go.
288
00:22:12,831 --> 00:22:14,866
I can watch out for us.
289
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:16,468
I can take on the responsibility.
290
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:17,736
You're always saying that.
291
00:22:18,704 --> 00:22:20,138
- Jacob, you're only 14.
292
00:22:21,173 --> 00:22:22,641
- 14 is old enough.
293
00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:25,877
- Please.
294
00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:28,146
- Well, um-
295
00:22:28,180 --> 00:22:29,681
- I can do it Papa.
296
00:22:31,683 --> 00:22:34,486
- Well, all right, Jacob will go with you
297
00:22:35,921 --> 00:22:37,622
if that's all right Mr. Murdoch?
298
00:22:39,057 --> 00:22:41,827
- It was a dream come true.
299
00:22:41,860 --> 00:22:44,496
I was going to the last mountain man Rendezvous
300
00:22:45,564 --> 00:22:47,065
with a real mountain man.
301
00:22:49,601 --> 00:22:53,538
- Remember we need a cow, a milk cow.
302
00:22:53,572 --> 00:22:56,108
For the baby on the way it's important.
303
00:22:56,141 --> 00:22:58,477
That's all the money we have.
304
00:22:58,510 --> 00:22:59,177
You be careful.
305
00:23:04,983 --> 00:23:07,018
- My parents were concerned for me
306
00:23:07,052 --> 00:23:08,487
though Papa hid it.
307
00:23:09,588 --> 00:23:10,555
I wasn't afraid.
308
00:23:10,589 --> 00:23:11,790
I knew I'd be all right
309
00:23:11,823 --> 00:23:13,825
with someone as great as Abner Murdoch.
310
00:23:23,635 --> 00:23:26,104
- Bring me something Jacob, don't forget.
311
00:23:26,138 --> 00:23:27,873
- Why would I bring you anything?
312
00:23:30,041 --> 00:23:30,909
I won't forget.
313
00:23:32,911 --> 00:23:34,146
Abner told my parents
314
00:23:34,179 --> 00:23:35,781
that Dark Wind would stay and help them
315
00:23:35,814 --> 00:23:37,816
start to build a shelter.
316
00:23:37,849 --> 00:23:40,585
The medicine man was old and didn't move with the tribe
317
00:23:40,619 --> 00:23:42,554
to the winter hunting grounds anymore.
318
00:23:44,289 --> 00:23:45,157
- Good luck.
319
00:25:10,709 --> 00:25:12,244
- Abner Murdoch
320
00:25:12,277 --> 00:25:14,012
knew more about living in the wilderness
321
00:25:14,045 --> 00:25:16,982
than anybody I'd ever known before.
322
00:25:17,015 --> 00:25:18,617
Certainly more than my father.
323
00:25:19,851 --> 00:25:20,986
He said, if you want to survive out here,
324
00:25:21,019 --> 00:25:23,154
you had to think like the animals think.
325
00:25:36,134 --> 00:25:37,002
You missed.
326
00:25:38,403 --> 00:25:40,105
- Matter of perspective.
327
00:25:44,042 --> 00:25:46,211
Can't always believe what your eyes tell ya.
328
00:25:50,215 --> 00:25:51,182
- There was no time
329
00:25:51,216 --> 00:25:52,817
for venison on the trail.
330
00:25:52,851 --> 00:25:55,787
And Abner said wild chucker was better anyway
331
00:25:55,820 --> 00:25:56,821
and easier to clean.
332
00:26:06,898 --> 00:26:08,033
- It looks about ready.
333
00:26:09,768 --> 00:26:12,704
Get that right off here.
334
00:26:12,737 --> 00:26:14,372
- It was the most delicious thing
335
00:26:14,406 --> 00:26:15,974
I'd ever tasted.
336
00:26:16,007 --> 00:26:17,242
Thank you.
337
00:26:17,275 --> 00:26:19,344
Abner told me about his life as a mountain man.
338
00:26:19,377 --> 00:26:22,681
How he'd come from Illinois at 14, my age.
339
00:26:22,714 --> 00:26:25,150
How he'd learned about surviving and living
340
00:26:25,183 --> 00:26:28,420
in the Rocky Mountains from the Indian nations,
341
00:26:28,453 --> 00:26:32,223
Yup, he'd just about done it all.
342
00:26:32,257 --> 00:26:33,825
He's one of the last of them.
343
00:26:35,226 --> 00:26:37,262
Men like Jim Bridger and John Colter.
344
00:26:38,697 --> 00:26:41,333
Ah Murdoch was the last real mountain man.
345
00:26:53,311 --> 00:26:55,347
He taught us about living in the open
346
00:26:55,380 --> 00:26:58,083
and what it meant to be part of the land.
347
00:26:58,116 --> 00:27:00,986
At the time I remember thinking how much my father
348
00:27:01,019 --> 00:27:03,088
really didn't know about life out here.
349
00:27:04,456 --> 00:27:06,992
It seemed to me, my father wasn't a real man.
350
00:27:07,025 --> 00:27:09,294
At least not the kind of man Abner was.
351
00:27:10,795 --> 00:27:12,931
Abner knew everything.
352
00:27:12,964 --> 00:27:16,201
And I wanted to be like him more than anything in the world.
353
00:27:21,806 --> 00:27:23,842
I wish my father knew as much as you did.
354
00:27:25,777 --> 00:27:27,112
- What makes you think he don't?
355
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,183
- Well, I just mean that you know more about surviving
356
00:27:32,217 --> 00:27:34,219
than Papa ever will.
357
00:27:34,252 --> 00:27:36,121
He's just a boat builder from New Hampshire.
358
00:27:36,154 --> 00:27:39,724
- Well, I don't know how to build a boat. Do you?
359
00:27:39,758 --> 00:27:42,227
You think living life in the saddle makes you a man.
360
00:27:43,228 --> 00:27:44,095
It don't.
361
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:46,998
Takes more guts sometimes to raise a family
362
00:27:47,032 --> 00:27:50,502
than it does to run off to the mountains.
363
00:27:50,535 --> 00:27:53,204
- Well, I just mean that he'll never be
364
00:27:53,238 --> 00:27:54,706
a Jim Bridger or anything.
365
00:27:55,940 --> 00:27:58,243
- Oh, you know Jim Bridger, did ya?
366
00:27:58,276 --> 00:28:00,412
- Yeah. Yeah I know everything about him.
367
00:28:00,445 --> 00:28:03,748
You know, how he found Yellowstone and started Fort Bridger
368
00:28:03,782 --> 00:28:06,985
and killed more Crow warriors than any man alive.
369
00:28:07,018 --> 00:28:08,520
- Where'd you hear all that?
370
00:28:08,553 --> 00:28:09,854
- Oh, I didn't hear it.
371
00:28:12,123 --> 00:28:13,224
I read it in this.
372
00:28:13,258 --> 00:28:16,528
- What's this.
373
00:28:16,561 --> 00:28:18,797
What's it say?
374
00:28:18,830 --> 00:28:21,866
- Oh, it says "Jim Bridger, King of the Mountains."
375
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:23,034
- King?
376
00:28:23,068 --> 00:28:25,203
Jim Bridger! I hardly think so.
377
00:28:25,236 --> 00:28:26,504
He didn't do none of that.
378
00:28:27,972 --> 00:28:29,774
John Colter's the one nearly lost his hair
379
00:28:29,808 --> 00:28:31,309
running through Yellowstone.
380
00:28:31,342 --> 00:28:33,244
Liver-eater Johnston killed more Crows
381
00:28:33,278 --> 00:28:34,479
than Bridger ever even see'd.
382
00:28:34,512 --> 00:28:36,915
And the only reason they named a fort after him
383
00:28:36,948 --> 00:28:40,485
was 'cause he won a bet with a politician in a poker match.
384
00:28:43,388 --> 00:28:44,556
- I thought that-
385
00:28:44,589 --> 00:28:46,491
- Best get your facts straight boy.
386
00:28:46,524 --> 00:28:50,061
Before that mouth of yours gets you in some serious trouble.
387
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:01,039
- Sweetheart. Will you fetch me some water?
388
00:29:04,943 --> 00:29:05,810
Hurry.
389
00:29:19,457 --> 00:29:20,959
- Thank you Emma.
390
00:29:25,897 --> 00:29:28,199
We should have all the foundation logs in today.
391
00:29:56,494 --> 00:29:57,529
- Yeah eni-la.
392
00:30:01,299 --> 00:30:02,200
What is it?
393
00:30:04,202 --> 00:30:06,538
There's something up there. I'm gonna go see.
394
00:30:06,571 --> 00:30:07,438
- Toby!
395
00:30:08,406 --> 00:30:10,008
- You stay here by the cabin.
396
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,545
Toby!
397
00:30:16,514 --> 00:30:21,519
Toby back to your mother.
398
00:31:22,113 --> 00:31:24,582
- The story was true.
399
00:31:24,616 --> 00:31:25,483
- Yeah.
400
00:33:50,895 --> 00:33:52,430
- How do you do friend?
401
00:33:52,463 --> 00:33:54,098
Good to see you again.
402
00:33:54,132 --> 00:33:58,770
Any new stock in the back room for me?
403
00:33:58,803 --> 00:34:01,139
- What do you want for it?
404
00:34:02,206 --> 00:34:03,274
I asked you how much.
405
00:34:07,612 --> 00:34:08,613
- How much for what?
406
00:34:10,314 --> 00:34:12,283
- What do you mean what? You squinty-eyed runt.
407
00:34:12,316 --> 00:34:13,184
The horse.
408
00:34:17,355 --> 00:34:19,157
- He's not for sale.
409
00:34:19,190 --> 00:34:21,626
- Everything's for sale around here boy.
410
00:34:21,659 --> 00:34:23,294
And I want that horse.
411
00:34:23,327 --> 00:34:24,195
How much?
412
00:34:26,431 --> 00:34:28,433
- He's not mine. I'm just watching him.
413
00:34:29,534 --> 00:34:31,602
- Hah. You stole him huh?
414
00:34:31,636 --> 00:34:33,337
- No it's Mr. Murdoch's.
415
00:34:34,372 --> 00:34:35,540
I'm just watching him.
416
00:34:36,707 --> 00:34:38,409
- I guess Mr. Murdoch won't mind
417
00:34:38,443 --> 00:34:40,711
if I watch his horse for a while now, will he?
418
00:34:40,745 --> 00:34:41,612
- Yes I do.
419
00:34:50,688 --> 00:34:51,856
- I'm sorry.
420
00:34:51,889 --> 00:34:53,858
- No need to apologize boy, this is Rendezvous.
421
00:34:53,891 --> 00:34:55,927
You get all kinds here.
422
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,895
You do have to be careful though.
423
00:34:57,929 --> 00:35:00,331
Got me some corn whiskey, do you want a swig?
424
00:35:01,332 --> 00:35:02,600
- I don't drink.
425
00:35:03,801 --> 00:35:04,836
- I didn't think so.
426
00:35:04,869 --> 00:35:06,404
Do you mind if I do? - No.
427
00:35:07,605 --> 00:35:08,706
- Ain't nothing better.
428
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,542
Or closer anyway.
429
00:35:16,447 --> 00:35:17,715
Whoo.
430
00:35:32,530 --> 00:35:33,397
Howdy friend.
431
00:35:34,765 --> 00:35:36,601
- Whatever you need, friend, it is all here.
432
00:35:36,634 --> 00:35:37,768
Dinna be afraid to ask.
433
00:35:39,337 --> 00:35:40,872
Good Pennsylvania steel that trap.
434
00:35:42,306 --> 00:35:43,875
- Very nice, but we need building supplies.
435
00:35:43,908 --> 00:35:45,743
10 penny nails. Hammer. Saw.
436
00:35:45,776 --> 00:35:46,911
- Have it all I do and more.
437
00:35:46,944 --> 00:35:48,913
Best prices at the Rendezvous.
438
00:35:48,946 --> 00:35:51,249
Angus Campbell will not be undersold.
439
00:35:52,583 --> 00:35:53,818
- Do you have any hard candy?
440
00:35:53,851 --> 00:35:54,952
- Well sure.
441
00:35:54,986 --> 00:35:57,855
I'd be a sorry merchant without sweets now, wouldn't I?
442
00:35:57,889 --> 00:35:58,890
Here you are laddie.
443
00:36:00,258 --> 00:36:01,526
One free sample.
444
00:36:07,632 --> 00:36:09,567
- How much for the saw?
445
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,869
- A dollar and a quarter.
446
00:36:11,903 --> 00:36:14,305
- Give me the bag of candy, I'll give you a dollar.
447
00:36:14,338 --> 00:36:15,206
- Sold.
448
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,482
- So just head on over and pick out
449
00:36:24,515 --> 00:36:25,950
that milk cow your pa wants.
450
00:36:27,451 --> 00:36:29,520
- I don't know anything about cows.
451
00:36:29,554 --> 00:36:30,588
- Well, I sure don't.
452
00:36:31,756 --> 00:36:34,692
If you ask me, it ain't a cow your pa needs.
453
00:36:34,725 --> 00:36:36,494
What your pa needs is a rifle.
454
00:36:37,628 --> 00:36:38,996
- He's got his shotgun.
455
00:36:39,030 --> 00:36:41,732
- That ain't a rifle. Out here, you don't have a rifle.
456
00:36:41,766 --> 00:36:42,967
You ain't going to survive.
457
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,869
Now these cap and ball pieces are all right
458
00:36:44,902 --> 00:36:46,871
but you lose a percussion cap.
459
00:36:46,904 --> 00:36:48,639
It ain't no better than a club.
460
00:36:48,673 --> 00:36:50,808
Now this flintlock works no matter what.
461
00:36:50,841 --> 00:36:52,376
You lose the flint, you just pick
462
00:36:52,410 --> 00:36:53,811
another one up off the ground.
463
00:37:04,355 --> 00:37:06,624
- You like them do you?
464
00:37:06,657 --> 00:37:07,525
- It's beautiful.
465
00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:10,461
- Colonel Colt's Navy revolver.
466
00:37:10,494 --> 00:37:11,629
You just load it up on Sunday.
467
00:37:11,662 --> 00:37:13,264
Shoot it the rest of the week.
468
00:37:14,432 --> 00:37:17,702
- That's the gospel my friends.
469
00:37:17,735 --> 00:37:20,471
36 caliber, six shot Navy Colt.
470
00:37:20,504 --> 00:37:22,740
Finest sidearm ever made.
471
00:37:22,773 --> 00:37:26,577
Won't find a better belt gun on the frontier.
472
00:37:26,611 --> 00:37:28,646
- Nor a more expensive one.
473
00:37:28,679 --> 00:37:31,349
Took me more than a year of trapping to earn this one.
474
00:37:35,686 --> 00:37:37,288
- May I take a look at that?
475
00:37:40,391 --> 00:37:41,425
It's nice. Thank you.
476
00:37:43,494 --> 00:37:47,665
- I'd like to look at the Kentucky rifle please.
477
00:37:48,766 --> 00:37:50,568
- Done my friend.
478
00:37:53,804 --> 00:37:56,641
You know, quality when you see it.
479
00:37:56,674 --> 00:37:58,643
Now let's take a look at the workmanship.
480
00:37:58,676 --> 00:38:01,078
Go on touch it, rub your hands on it.
481
00:38:01,112 --> 00:38:03,080
Go ahead, it won't bite ya.
482
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:10,788
- Got gold. I seen it.
483
00:38:12,790 --> 00:38:15,026
He's got a bag full of gold sovereigns.
484
00:38:15,059 --> 00:38:16,661
I seen 'em.
485
00:38:24,035 --> 00:38:26,570
- Lakota Sioux believe it's the great spirit.
486
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:31,609
I seen it once and believe you me once was enough.
487
00:38:31,642 --> 00:38:34,445
Stood near 12 foot tall.
488
00:38:34,478 --> 00:38:36,914
Arms outspread alone measured more than the length
489
00:38:36,947 --> 00:38:38,749
of an Injun Cayuse pony.
490
00:38:42,153 --> 00:38:45,456
I ain't never seen the like of it fore nor since.
491
00:38:45,489 --> 00:38:46,991
Hellfire, the skin alone
492
00:38:47,024 --> 00:38:49,794
would fetch more than 100 gold dollars.
493
00:38:49,827 --> 00:38:51,862
- We've all heard of this ghost bear.
494
00:38:54,598 --> 00:38:56,701
No one has actually seen it.
495
00:38:56,734 --> 00:38:58,869
Must be the liquor talking Windy Bill.
496
00:38:58,903 --> 00:39:01,439
- Ain't no liquor talking Ansel Richter.
497
00:39:01,472 --> 00:39:02,807
What do you know anyway?
498
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,077
I tell you I seen it myself with my own two eyes.
499
00:39:07,578 --> 00:39:09,847
Bigger than the mountain it was too.
500
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,048
You hear it, you know why
501
00:39:11,082 --> 00:39:13,984
the Injuns call it Walking Thunder.
502
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,855
- He's right.
503
00:39:17,888 --> 00:39:18,956
I've seen it too.
504
00:39:23,994 --> 00:39:24,962
- You've seen the bear.
505
00:39:24,995 --> 00:39:26,130
Have you seen it around here?
506
00:39:26,163 --> 00:39:27,932
- Now friends, you know how young uns are.
507
00:39:27,965 --> 00:39:30,034
He just wished he'd seen the bear.
508
00:39:30,067 --> 00:39:32,436
He wants to kill it with his pocket knife.
509
00:39:33,704 --> 00:39:35,840
- No, no. Wait, wait, wait. Let the boy speak.
510
00:39:35,873 --> 00:39:36,907
Maybe he has seen it.
511
00:39:37,808 --> 00:39:38,676
Maybe he did.
512
00:39:38,709 --> 00:39:39,810
Isn't that right, boy?
513
00:39:41,512 --> 00:39:42,179
- I...
514
00:39:43,748 --> 00:39:46,117
Well maybe I haven't seen it.
515
00:39:46,150 --> 00:39:47,885
- Maybe you just smelled him.
516
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,856
- What exactly did you see?
517
00:39:55,159 --> 00:39:57,495
- I didn't see anything, sir.
518
00:39:57,528 --> 00:39:58,963
- Sir?
519
00:40:02,933 --> 00:40:04,168
Been called a lot of things in my life.
520
00:40:04,201 --> 00:40:05,970
Never been called, sir.
521
00:40:06,003 --> 00:40:07,705
This isn't the army, you know?
522
00:40:07,738 --> 00:40:09,907
- Well maybe that's because "Sir" is a sign of respect.
523
00:40:09,940 --> 00:40:12,109
Something that scalpers ain't accustomed to.
524
00:40:13,878 --> 00:40:15,746
- Maybe you haven't heard that scalping's illegal.
525
00:40:15,780 --> 00:40:18,783
I've never done anything illegal in my life.
526
00:40:18,816 --> 00:40:20,918
- Now Ansel, that ain't exactly true.
527
00:40:22,553 --> 00:40:24,789
I seem to remember you and your amigos doing some time
528
00:40:24,822 --> 00:40:28,692
for some long distance target shooting on some Blackfeet.
529
00:40:31,128 --> 00:40:32,863
- You never change, do you Ab.
530
00:40:34,698 --> 00:40:37,501
You always thought you were better than the rest of us.
531
00:40:39,136 --> 00:40:41,739
Well you ain't bear squat to me.
532
00:40:44,608 --> 00:40:46,844
- Well now, bear squat is something I reckon
533
00:40:46,877 --> 00:40:49,280
you know a thing or two about
534
00:40:49,313 --> 00:40:51,916
'cause the rest of what you're saying is just that.
535
00:40:54,685 --> 00:40:55,986
- Are you calling me a liar?
536
00:40:57,188 --> 00:40:58,055
- Don't need to.
537
00:40:59,623 --> 00:41:01,892
Don't need to call a skunk a skunk neither.
538
00:41:03,727 --> 00:41:05,029
Can already tell by the smell.
539
00:41:11,902 --> 00:41:13,737
- How does that feel squaw man?
540
00:41:54,144 --> 00:41:58,282
- You're right. He shouldn't have called you, sir.
541
00:42:57,708 --> 00:43:00,210
- Look at them tracks.
542
00:43:00,244 --> 00:43:01,779
- What is it?
543
00:43:01,812 --> 00:43:03,147
- Riders moving ahead of us.
544
00:43:05,115 --> 00:43:06,216
- What does that mean?
545
00:43:09,887 --> 00:43:11,055
- Means we ain't alone.
546
00:43:12,957 --> 00:43:14,758
Somebody decided to tag along.
547
00:43:14,792 --> 00:43:16,026
Could be after our goods.
548
00:43:19,196 --> 00:43:22,132
- Well you said they're ahead of us though.
549
00:43:22,166 --> 00:43:23,300
They're not following us.
550
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:25,869
- That's an old buffalo hunters trick.
551
00:43:25,903 --> 00:43:27,738
Figure out where the herd is going.
552
00:43:28,872 --> 00:43:30,741
Then you wait for 'em.
553
00:43:41,752 --> 00:43:46,724
- Mr. Murdoch, can I ask you a question?
554
00:43:48,926 --> 00:43:49,860
- If you've a mind.
555
00:43:53,330 --> 00:43:56,734
- At the Rendezvous, what did they mean by squaw man?
556
00:44:00,337 --> 00:44:02,940
- I took me a Sioux woman to wife some years back.
557
00:44:04,375 --> 00:44:06,076
- You married an Indian woman?
558
00:44:09,046 --> 00:44:10,748
- Married's a white man's term,
559
00:44:10,781 --> 00:44:13,851
but it was something like that.
560
00:44:18,389 --> 00:44:20,257
Richter tried to offend me by saying it,
561
00:44:20,290 --> 00:44:22,259
but ain't no offense to be taken.
562
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:26,463
- So where is she?
563
00:44:31,869 --> 00:44:36,240
- I left her and the young un, a long time ago.
564
00:44:40,010 --> 00:44:41,879
I weren't much good at taking care of them.
565
00:44:44,548 --> 00:44:46,417
They always had a roof over their head
566
00:44:47,551 --> 00:44:48,452
and plenty to eat.
567
00:44:52,056 --> 00:44:53,824
But it takes more than that.
568
00:45:01,298 --> 00:45:04,501
- So you think those tracks are people following us?
569
00:45:04,535 --> 00:45:05,769
- Probably.
570
00:45:07,237 --> 00:45:09,540
- Well don't you think we should keep the fire low?
571
00:45:09,573 --> 00:45:11,341
I mean, not attract any attention.
572
00:45:12,976 --> 00:45:14,845
- Getting cold tonight, don't you want to stay warm?
573
00:45:17,214 --> 00:45:18,816
- I'd rather be safe.
574
00:45:20,884 --> 00:45:21,985
- Why don't you get some sleep.
575
00:46:05,863 --> 00:46:07,364
- Mr. Murdoch!
576
00:46:07,397 --> 00:46:08,565
- They're gone.
577
00:46:14,004 --> 00:46:15,139
- You tricked me with the fire.
578
00:46:15,172 --> 00:46:16,907
- Well, I figured they'd move on us late.
579
00:46:16,940 --> 00:46:18,509
- You used me as bait.
580
00:46:18,542 --> 00:46:20,544
- You don't catch nothing without bait.
581
00:46:20,577 --> 00:46:21,445
- Yeah. Well...
582
00:46:23,380 --> 00:46:24,948
What if he'd shot first?
583
00:46:26,216 --> 00:46:29,186
- Well, he didn't.
584
00:46:31,588 --> 00:46:32,990
- I was starting to understand
585
00:46:33,023 --> 00:46:35,526
about the laws of the wilderness.
586
00:46:35,559 --> 00:46:38,362
If you aren't the hunter, you're the prey.
587
00:46:38,395 --> 00:46:40,831
Abner Murdoch lived by those laws.
588
00:46:53,377 --> 00:46:54,611
- Down there by the creek.
589
00:46:56,613 --> 00:46:57,481
- What?
590
00:47:00,017 --> 00:47:01,285
- Let's get a closer look.
591
00:47:19,603 --> 00:47:21,138
Pelts will fetch a fair sum.
592
00:47:23,574 --> 00:47:25,142
- You're not going to shoot 'em are you?
593
00:47:26,577 --> 00:47:28,946
- They're not going to make it through the winter anyway.
594
00:47:37,254 --> 00:47:38,121
- Please don't.
595
00:47:53,503 --> 00:47:55,138
- Boy you're gonna have to learn.
596
00:47:56,406 --> 00:47:57,574
If you're gonna make it in the mountains,
597
00:47:59,176 --> 00:48:01,178
you gotta take what providence sends your way.
598
00:48:17,661 --> 00:48:20,497
- Mama, it looks like take a real house.
599
00:48:20,530 --> 00:48:21,665
I gotta show Dark Wind.
600
00:48:33,343 --> 00:48:35,445
- Be finished in a week or so.
601
00:48:35,479 --> 00:48:38,415
As soon as I get those supplies they're bringing.
602
00:48:38,448 --> 00:48:39,583
- They'll be here soon.
603
00:48:41,018 --> 00:48:43,287
Winters in the air. You can smell it.
604
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,622
- Mama, you think Jacob's been kilt by now.
605
00:48:45,656 --> 00:48:48,358
- Don't you talk like that Tobias McKay.
606
00:48:48,392 --> 00:48:51,695
Your brother's just fine and he's going to be here soon.
607
00:48:51,728 --> 00:48:55,198
And it's killed, not kilt. Mind your grammar.
608
00:48:57,501 --> 00:48:58,735
- I didn't mean nothing...
609
00:49:00,337 --> 00:49:01,038
Anything by it.
610
00:49:02,472 --> 00:49:04,107
Besides, he could've been scalped.
611
00:49:04,141 --> 00:49:06,643
- Oh, Horsefeathers! Now go on and do your chores.
612
00:49:08,211 --> 00:49:09,079
- All right.
613
00:49:27,331 --> 00:49:28,465
- Howdy folks.
614
00:49:33,637 --> 00:49:35,105
Hope we didn't startle you.
615
00:49:36,106 --> 00:49:38,408
We've been traveling for awhile.
616
00:49:38,442 --> 00:49:40,143
Could do with some food if you have any to spare
617
00:49:40,177 --> 00:49:41,511
and get out of this weather.
618
00:49:47,250 --> 00:49:48,385
- You run into trouble?
619
00:49:49,820 --> 00:49:52,656
- Some. Blood Coat had this rifle backfire.
620
00:49:52,689 --> 00:49:55,125
Almost took his head off.
621
00:49:55,158 --> 00:49:57,527
- Yeah, he's lucky though.
622
00:49:57,561 --> 00:49:59,596
Just took off a little piece of his eye.
623
00:50:02,599 --> 00:50:04,768
- Well, we have a little stew.
624
00:50:06,303 --> 00:50:07,604
If you've a mind to partake.
625
00:50:09,706 --> 00:50:11,108
I wouldn't turn you away.
626
00:50:12,309 --> 00:50:14,111
- That'd be kind of you. We'd be obliged.
627
00:50:20,350 --> 00:50:22,452
- This wound is deep.
628
00:50:22,486 --> 00:50:24,321
- Yeah, took him by surprise.
629
00:50:25,856 --> 00:50:27,224
He never seen it coming.
630
00:50:28,492 --> 00:50:30,260
- You did this with your own rifle?
631
00:50:34,398 --> 00:50:35,732
- He doesn't talk. He can't.
632
00:50:35,766 --> 00:50:38,435
His vocal cords have been severed.
633
00:50:38,468 --> 00:50:41,104
- Yeah. Cut real good by a Blackfoot.
634
00:50:41,138 --> 00:50:42,439
A couple of years back.
635
00:50:43,740 --> 00:50:46,710
He never gonna talk again, ever.
636
00:50:48,145 --> 00:50:49,479
Ain't that right half-breed?
637
00:50:52,616 --> 00:50:53,817
Go ahead. Show her.
638
00:51:05,162 --> 00:51:06,863
- You Indian hunters?
639
00:51:06,897 --> 00:51:07,764
- Toby!
640
00:51:07,798 --> 00:51:09,332
- Buffalo boy, buffalo.
641
00:51:11,668 --> 00:51:13,136
We haven't had much luck either.
642
00:51:17,340 --> 00:51:19,676
We hear there's been a bear seen in this area.
643
00:51:19,709 --> 00:51:21,711
Have you run across it?
644
00:51:21,745 --> 00:51:24,481
- I'd say! He wrecked our wagon.
645
00:51:25,615 --> 00:51:27,317
- You didn't shoot him did you?
646
00:51:29,853 --> 00:51:32,155
- You're not after the bear are you?
647
00:51:32,189 --> 00:51:33,423
- Not exactly what we're after.
648
00:51:33,457 --> 00:51:35,125
But if we see him, we might take him.
649
00:51:36,693 --> 00:51:38,695
So are you folks planning on staying here?
650
00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:40,897
- Might be.
651
00:51:42,232 --> 00:51:44,568
- You'll need some more supplies I reckon.
652
00:51:44,601 --> 00:51:46,937
- Jacob and Abner went to get some more.
653
00:51:46,970 --> 00:51:48,605
Pop already paid for 'em.
654
00:51:51,475 --> 00:51:52,709
- Is that a fact?
655
00:51:57,347 --> 00:51:59,349
- There are more settlers coming.
656
00:51:59,382 --> 00:52:01,418
We just happen to be the first to arrive.
657
00:52:01,451 --> 00:52:03,353
An advance party.
658
00:52:03,386 --> 00:52:04,521
- That's funny.
659
00:52:04,554 --> 00:52:06,256
I didn't see any others.
660
00:52:11,895 --> 00:52:14,764
- I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't smoke,
661
00:52:14,798 --> 00:52:16,399
it's not a habit we hold with.
662
00:52:18,401 --> 00:52:19,569
- God-fearing folk.
663
00:52:20,837 --> 00:52:23,273
Don't suppose you drink either.
664
00:52:23,306 --> 00:52:25,575
- It's not my place to tell you what to do.
665
00:52:25,609 --> 00:52:27,544
This is our home.
666
00:52:27,577 --> 00:52:28,845
I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't indulge
667
00:52:28,879 --> 00:52:29,880
in front of the boy.
668
00:52:31,748 --> 00:52:33,316
- Didn't mean any disrespect.
669
00:52:35,585 --> 00:52:37,754
You know being Christian folk you better watch yourselves.
670
00:52:37,787 --> 00:52:40,390
The Indians don't care what God you believe in.
671
00:52:41,791 --> 00:52:44,861
They'll take your scalp as easy as the next.
672
00:52:44,895 --> 00:52:46,396
- I see you feel the same.
673
00:52:47,564 --> 00:52:48,765
- Injun ain't folk.
674
00:52:50,667 --> 00:52:52,936
Don't take scalp no more. Ain't no money in it.
675
00:52:55,372 --> 00:52:57,374
But if they're ever worth something again
676
00:53:01,578 --> 00:53:03,013
there's one to pay for the meal.
677
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:10,820
- I think you better go.
678
00:53:14,624 --> 00:53:16,993
- We may come back this way again. You never know.
679
00:53:18,528 --> 00:53:20,363
See how you're doing.
680
00:53:30,874 --> 00:53:32,375
- Who's going to read that?
681
00:53:35,512 --> 00:53:36,813
- I never thought about it.
682
00:53:39,049 --> 00:53:41,952
I guess me when I'm older or maybe even my son
683
00:53:41,985 --> 00:53:44,521
or even his son.
684
00:53:46,389 --> 00:53:48,658
- Getting a family right quick there ain't ya?
685
00:53:52,095 --> 00:53:54,864
Never had much need for book learning myself.
686
00:53:56,466 --> 00:53:58,368
I do know how to write my name though.
687
00:54:01,571 --> 00:54:03,673
- Mama says everyone should read and write.
688
00:54:04,975 --> 00:54:06,610
- Well, I suspect she's right.
689
00:54:08,912 --> 00:54:10,880
Not much need for it out of here though.
690
00:54:12,349 --> 00:54:14,351
More important to learn how to read the signs.
691
00:54:16,753 --> 00:54:17,954
- Signs?
692
00:54:17,988 --> 00:54:20,724
- It's what I've been teaching you boy.
693
00:54:20,757 --> 00:54:25,762
This country will speak to you if you know how to listen.
694
00:54:33,837 --> 00:54:38,508
- It's like you said, they've got gold.
695
00:54:38,541 --> 00:54:39,843
I could smell it.
696
00:54:39,876 --> 00:54:41,578
- Why don't we just go in there and kill them.
697
00:54:41,611 --> 00:54:43,046
Steal the gold.
698
00:54:43,079 --> 00:54:47,751
They don't know their backside from a box banjo no how.
699
00:54:47,784 --> 00:54:49,486
- There are people who know about them now.
700
00:54:49,519 --> 00:54:52,589
- I still say we should go in there and scalp 'em.
701
00:54:52,622 --> 00:54:54,391
Blame it on the Sioux.
702
00:54:54,424 --> 00:54:55,091
- No!
703
00:54:57,060 --> 00:54:58,795
We'll surprise them.
704
00:55:00,063 --> 00:55:02,532
So no one will be the wiser.
705
00:55:29,726 --> 00:55:31,394
- Mama! Papa! Toby.
706
00:55:32,896 --> 00:55:34,431
- Oh, you're all right.
707
00:55:34,464 --> 00:55:35,465
- Yes, I'm fine.
708
00:55:36,466 --> 00:55:37,867
- We thought you were scalped.
709
00:55:37,901 --> 00:55:40,937
- Were scalped, and don't you talk like that.
710
00:55:40,970 --> 00:55:42,939
Thank you for bringing him back safe.
711
00:55:42,972 --> 00:55:44,574
- No problem.
712
00:55:44,607 --> 00:55:46,676
Your husband's making fine progress on your cabin.
713
00:55:46,710 --> 00:55:47,977
- Yeah. John went hunting.
714
00:55:49,212 --> 00:55:51,614
Where's the cow your father asked you to buy?
715
00:55:55,452 --> 00:55:57,087
- We needed this more.
716
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,956
So I decided not to buy the cow.
717
00:56:01,591 --> 00:56:03,626
- Jacob, that was all the money we had.
718
00:56:03,660 --> 00:56:05,562
- Pop doesn't understand how to survive out here Mama.
719
00:56:05,595 --> 00:56:08,498
- It's probably my fault, Mrs.
720
00:56:08,531 --> 00:56:10,700
'Spect I give the boy some ideas.
721
00:56:10,734 --> 00:56:12,836
- Well, I'm gonna let you be the one to tell him.
722
00:56:14,637 --> 00:56:15,972
- Some men come here last night.
723
00:56:16,005 --> 00:56:17,440
- Came here.
724
00:56:17,474 --> 00:56:18,942
- Jacob, did you bring me anything?
725
00:56:18,975 --> 00:56:21,044
- Now why would I bring you anything? Huh?
726
00:56:23,146 --> 00:56:24,147
Huh?
727
00:56:24,180 --> 00:56:25,515
Jump! Jump!
728
00:56:32,188 --> 00:56:34,457
- What those men want Ms. McKay?
729
00:56:34,491 --> 00:56:35,158
- Food.
730
00:56:36,126 --> 00:56:37,794
One of them was hurt.
731
00:56:37,827 --> 00:56:38,695
- How so?
732
00:56:39,929 --> 00:56:41,965
- He said his gun backfired on him.
733
00:56:46,569 --> 00:56:48,938
- Where'd your husband go off hunting to?
734
00:56:48,972 --> 00:56:49,806
- North.
735
00:56:53,143 --> 00:56:55,245
- Maybe I'll head on up there myself.
736
00:56:55,278 --> 00:56:57,547
Lend him a hand.
737
00:56:57,580 --> 00:56:58,515
- Is something?
738
00:56:58,548 --> 00:57:00,216
- Oh no. There's no problem.
739
00:57:00,250 --> 00:57:02,719
- Well, I'm much obliged to you.
740
00:57:02,752 --> 00:57:03,620
- Fair welcome.
741
00:57:10,059 --> 00:57:11,728
Son, I want you to look out for your ma and your brother.
742
00:57:11,761 --> 00:57:13,596
You understand? Put up that rifle, keep a sharp eye out.
743
00:57:13,630 --> 00:57:14,798
Don't take no chances.
744
00:57:14,831 --> 00:57:16,132
- Is something wrong?
745
00:57:16,166 --> 00:57:17,033
- Could be.
746
00:58:06,783 --> 00:58:08,852
- you want to keep your hair.
747
00:58:22,932 --> 00:58:23,900
- Who is it?
748
00:58:23,933 --> 00:58:24,868
- I ain't sure. You stay here.
749
00:58:24,901 --> 00:58:26,302
I'm going to double back around.
750
00:58:53,329 --> 00:58:56,032
- We are in your debt Mr. Murdoch.
751
00:58:57,700 --> 00:59:00,069
- No need for mister, just Murdoch will be fine.
752
00:59:02,338 --> 00:59:05,174
You folks is lucky you made it this far.
753
00:59:05,208 --> 00:59:07,143
These is rough territory.
754
00:59:08,978 --> 00:59:10,813
I'm headed out to Fort Bridger for the winter
755
00:59:10,847 --> 00:59:12,882
but I'll be glad to stay
756
00:59:12,916 --> 00:59:15,151
and help you finish your cabin 'fore I go.
757
00:59:17,921 --> 00:59:19,689
- You're a good Christian man, sir.
758
00:59:22,125 --> 00:59:24,827
- Well, I don't reckon I'm all that Christian Missus.
759
00:59:26,329 --> 00:59:28,665
but I do believe you did folks deserve a fair shot.
760
00:59:32,201 --> 00:59:37,073
- I know I'm not as wise out here as you, but we'll manage.
761
00:59:42,745 --> 00:59:45,748
You do think those Crow warriors will be back?
762
00:59:45,782 --> 00:59:48,785
- Weren't Crow that tried to kill you this morning.
763
00:59:48,818 --> 00:59:50,019
- But I thought-
764
00:59:50,053 --> 00:59:50,987
- You're thinking like a settler,
765
00:59:51,020 --> 00:59:52,722
this ain't New Hampshire.
766
00:59:52,755 --> 00:59:55,391
- Well, how did you know it wasn't the Crow?
767
00:59:55,425 --> 00:59:58,294
- The Sioux, the Cheyenne, the Arapahoe,
768
00:59:58,328 --> 00:59:59,963
they all have seams running down the inside
769
00:59:59,996 --> 01:00:01,764
of their moccasins, points turned in,
770
01:00:01,798 --> 01:00:03,199
so the prints look pigeon toed.
771
01:00:04,467 --> 01:00:06,135
The Crows' hide is tanned so smooth,
772
01:00:06,169 --> 01:00:08,705
there ain't no sign of a seam nowhere.
773
01:00:08,738 --> 01:00:11,007
- Well then it was another tribe.
774
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,876
- No. The prints I saw this morning had a seam
775
01:00:13,910 --> 01:00:15,311
running right down the middle.
776
01:00:16,346 --> 01:00:18,014
Weren't from any of the nations.
777
01:00:19,449 --> 01:00:20,717
Them's from white men.
778
01:00:25,989 --> 01:00:28,691
- It's the men from the Rendezvous.
779
01:00:28,725 --> 01:00:30,026
- That's a good guess.
780
01:00:35,999 --> 01:00:38,401
- Papa and Abner finished what was left
781
01:00:38,434 --> 01:00:40,403
in just a few days.
782
01:00:40,436 --> 01:00:42,405
For the first time I noticed
783
01:00:42,438 --> 01:00:44,774
a kind of new respect between them.
784
01:00:46,843 --> 01:00:50,346
Abner told us that the Crow war party was still around.
785
01:00:50,380 --> 01:00:52,115
They were on a hunt.
786
01:00:52,148 --> 01:00:56,052
According to Dark Wind, the spirit of the land was with us.
787
01:00:56,085 --> 01:00:59,088
The Crow and Sioux had been blood enemies
788
01:00:59,122 --> 01:01:00,890
since before the beginning of time.
789
01:01:00,923 --> 01:01:05,828
- Watch your head Jacob.
790
01:01:05,862 --> 01:01:06,829
- It works!
791
01:01:40,029 --> 01:01:44,500
- He's praying for your lives to be filled with plenty.
792
01:01:49,105 --> 01:01:50,206
- What's he doing now?
793
01:01:52,208 --> 01:01:55,144
- He's leaving a few things to bless your lodge with.
794
01:01:56,813 --> 01:01:58,815
Salt from the deer lick, so you'll have saver in your life.
795
01:01:58,848 --> 01:02:03,853
Jerk delt meat, so's you won't know hunger.
796
01:02:06,355 --> 01:02:08,524
And a dream catcher to hang above your door.
797
01:02:11,294 --> 01:02:14,363
- What's a dream catcher?
798
01:02:14,397 --> 01:02:16,566
- The Sioux believe that dreams fill the lodge
799
01:02:16,599 --> 01:02:17,800
and then come true.
800
01:02:19,268 --> 01:02:21,904
The dream catcher catches the bad dreams while you sleep.
801
01:02:23,506 --> 01:02:25,308
So it's only good dreams come true.
802
01:02:39,455 --> 01:02:42,091
- After a few days, Abner said,
803
01:02:42,125 --> 01:02:43,493
"If those men were coming back,
804
01:02:43,526 --> 01:02:45,128
they'd have been here by now."
805
01:02:56,405 --> 01:02:58,474
- Emma made you some food for the trail.
806
01:02:58,508 --> 01:03:00,276
It ain't much, but it's filling.
807
01:03:01,444 --> 01:03:03,279
- Much obliged.
808
01:03:03,312 --> 01:03:04,514
- Do you have to go?
809
01:03:07,150 --> 01:03:08,584
- If I'm going to make it to Bridger
810
01:03:08,618 --> 01:03:10,486
before the snow fills that pass, I got to leave now.
811
01:03:12,388 --> 01:03:14,490
You take care to remember everything you learned.
812
01:03:15,591 --> 01:03:16,459
You hear?
813
01:03:19,962 --> 01:03:20,596
- Travel safely.
814
01:03:23,065 --> 01:03:24,367
- Lay in all the stores you can
815
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,002
and listen to the medicine man.
816
01:03:26,035 --> 01:03:28,204
He knows more about these parts than anybody.
817
01:03:30,006 --> 01:03:30,840
Keep your scalp.
818
01:03:41,117 --> 01:03:42,885
- We'll be just fine.
819
01:03:44,220 --> 01:03:46,055
- He knows more than any of us Papa.
820
01:04:16,385 --> 01:04:18,521
- I'm gonna get a new hat.
821
01:04:24,060 --> 01:04:25,494
- No time for this.
822
01:04:47,683 --> 01:04:49,352
No! No, no, no.
823
01:04:49,385 --> 01:04:50,453
No he's mine.
824
01:05:10,339 --> 01:05:11,207
Damn!
825
01:05:15,211 --> 01:05:16,612
You're dead Indian.
826
01:05:24,587 --> 01:05:26,489
Try howling with that medicine man.
827
01:05:29,025 --> 01:05:30,159
Get the bear!
828
01:05:31,127 --> 01:05:31,994
- Toby!
829
01:05:33,262 --> 01:05:34,297
You got chores to do.
830
01:05:35,264 --> 01:05:37,166
- Aw mom, do I have to?
831
01:05:37,199 --> 01:05:39,035
- I need some firewood.
832
01:05:39,068 --> 01:05:40,136
Please bring it to me.
833
01:05:42,104 --> 01:05:42,972
Now.
834
01:06:05,061 --> 01:06:05,728
- Mama!
835
01:06:07,463 --> 01:06:09,031
Dark Wind!
836
01:06:09,065 --> 01:06:09,732
- John!
837
01:06:20,242 --> 01:06:23,145
The ball went right through his shoulder.
838
01:06:23,179 --> 01:06:25,247
He's lost a lot of blood.
839
01:06:25,281 --> 01:06:28,284
- They could be coming here, following him.
840
01:06:29,518 --> 01:06:30,386
- Who?
841
01:06:30,419 --> 01:06:31,287
- Whoever did this.
842
01:06:33,656 --> 01:06:35,524
- Are we gonna fight 'em Papa?
843
01:06:35,558 --> 01:06:39,061
- I hope we don't have to son, but we best be ready.
844
01:06:43,299 --> 01:06:44,266
- I wish Abner was here.
845
01:06:45,401 --> 01:06:46,435
He'd know what to do.
846
01:07:08,157 --> 01:07:09,258
- Is he dead yet?
847
01:07:09,291 --> 01:07:10,159
- Shh.
848
01:07:10,192 --> 01:07:11,427
No, he's not dead yet.
849
01:07:12,728 --> 01:07:13,829
I'm surprised he's not.
850
01:07:15,564 --> 01:07:17,400
- Well, does he still need his moccasins?
851
01:07:17,433 --> 01:07:19,802
- Toby McKay, please go out and help your father.
852
01:07:22,805 --> 01:07:24,407
- Got my alarm done.
853
01:07:31,147 --> 01:07:33,349
Well, at least that'll slow 'em down.
854
01:07:35,151 --> 01:07:35,818
- Not much.
855
01:07:37,219 --> 01:07:38,254
If Abner was here he-
856
01:07:39,288 --> 01:07:40,423
- He'd know what to do?
857
01:07:45,394 --> 01:07:46,829
I suppose he would.
858
01:07:50,666 --> 01:07:52,735
I don't know much about this sort of thing do I?
859
01:07:54,937 --> 01:07:55,604
- No.
860
01:07:57,540 --> 01:07:59,408
I mean, you know a lot of things.
861
01:08:02,812 --> 01:08:04,814
- Your mother was right.
862
01:08:04,847 --> 01:08:07,683
I took you away from everything you ever loved.
863
01:08:10,553 --> 01:08:12,354
- Papa. I'm sorry about the gun.
864
01:08:14,323 --> 01:08:16,826
I mean buying it instead of the cow.
865
01:08:16,859 --> 01:08:18,894
- Looks like you were right now, doesn't it?
866
01:08:22,531 --> 01:08:23,799
You're becoming a man.
867
01:08:27,403 --> 01:08:29,271
I forget about that sometimes.
868
01:08:30,673 --> 01:08:32,908
It's important you learn to make your own decisions.
869
01:10:09,071 --> 01:10:10,706
- My alarm!
870
01:10:10,739 --> 01:10:11,607
- Shh!
871
01:10:51,447 --> 01:10:52,314
- Aargh!
872
01:11:00,856 --> 01:11:02,358
- Come on!
873
01:11:02,391 --> 01:11:07,396
Come on hit me! Hit me!
874
01:11:07,963 --> 01:11:08,931
Hit me!
875
01:11:08,964 --> 01:11:09,832
Hit me!
876
01:12:05,854 --> 01:12:08,457
You're tougher than I thought.
877
01:12:11,527 --> 01:12:12,861
Not tough enough!
878
01:12:20,169 --> 01:12:23,405
- Jacob!
879
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:24,807
- All right move!
880
01:12:26,508 --> 01:12:27,376
Move!
881
01:12:45,861 --> 01:12:47,730
Stop it! Or I'll kill him.
882
01:12:47,763 --> 01:12:48,697
I swear it.
883
01:12:56,238 --> 01:12:58,707
All right, where's the gold?
884
01:13:04,913 --> 01:13:05,748
Did you find it?
885
01:13:05,781 --> 01:13:07,516
- There isn't any gold.
886
01:13:07,549 --> 01:13:09,451
- You lie. I seen it.
887
01:13:09,485 --> 01:13:12,554
- He's not lying. There isn't any gold.
888
01:13:13,922 --> 01:13:14,890
- Where is it?
889
01:13:28,737 --> 01:13:31,106
- She said there ain't no gold.
890
01:13:34,042 --> 01:13:37,146
Well looks like you whipped him some.
891
01:13:38,914 --> 01:13:40,182
- Behind you!
892
01:13:57,900 --> 01:13:59,568
- They wasn't so tough.
893
01:13:59,601 --> 01:14:01,136
- Weren't so tough.
894
01:14:02,171 --> 01:14:03,472
What your mother says.
895
01:14:06,008 --> 01:14:07,509
- Hey, why'd you come back?
896
01:14:08,744 --> 01:14:12,014
- I don't know, a friend persuaded me I guess.
897
01:14:14,550 --> 01:14:16,685
It's time we laid in stores for the winter.
898
01:14:18,187 --> 01:14:20,589
Which means you have some work to do with that rifle.
899
01:14:24,626 --> 01:14:25,627
- The men had decided
900
01:14:25,661 --> 01:14:26,795
to head north and hunt.
901
01:14:28,630 --> 01:14:30,032
Papa didn't want to leave us alone
902
01:14:30,065 --> 01:14:32,601
But he knew that we needed the meat.
903
01:14:32,634 --> 01:14:34,970
And they had to lay in enough to last the winter.
904
01:14:37,806 --> 01:14:39,174
They left that very day.
905
01:14:45,881 --> 01:14:47,749
I was in charge my father said.
906
01:14:48,884 --> 01:14:49,918
That scared me some.
907
01:14:51,587 --> 01:14:54,189
Because none of us knew what happened to those men
908
01:14:54,223 --> 01:14:55,157
or where they went.
909
01:15:11,173 --> 01:15:12,941
While the men were gone
910
01:15:12,975 --> 01:15:15,177
mother got closer and closer to her time.
911
01:15:25,921 --> 01:15:27,923
The night it happened we were all alone.
912
01:15:31,994 --> 01:15:34,029
- Jacob.
913
01:15:35,264 --> 01:15:37,733
You get me some hot, boiling water.
914
01:15:40,903 --> 01:15:44,673
I need you to help me, sweetheart.
915
01:15:45,674 --> 01:15:48,076
- Mama, I don't know how.
916
01:15:50,345 --> 01:15:51,747
Maybe isn't time yet.
917
01:16:01,323 --> 01:16:03,692
- Jake, what are we going to do?
918
01:16:04,927 --> 01:16:06,128
- I don't know.
919
01:16:08,263 --> 01:16:10,999
Toby and I tried to help as best we could.
920
01:16:15,704 --> 01:16:17,139
Then the old Indian Dark Wind
921
01:16:17,172 --> 01:16:19,207
came into the cabin and took charge.
922
01:16:20,842 --> 01:16:22,844
Toby and I were pretty happy to see him.
923
01:16:26,949 --> 01:16:29,651
That old man stayed right next to mother
924
01:16:29,685 --> 01:16:31,286
helping her through her ordeal.
925
01:16:50,138 --> 01:16:51,406
- Drink it Mama.
926
01:16:52,474 --> 01:16:54,876
Dark Wind's gonna help you.
927
01:17:44,393 --> 01:17:46,962
- It was a baby girl,
928
01:17:46,995 --> 01:17:48,463
Toby and I had a sister.
929
01:18:07,215 --> 01:18:08,884
- Hello sweetheart.
930
01:18:53,228 --> 01:18:55,464
- I didn't know until many years later
931
01:18:55,497 --> 01:18:57,332
when I learned some of the language of the Sioux
932
01:18:57,365 --> 01:19:01,002
that the old man was praying for us that day.
933
01:19:02,471 --> 01:19:05,874
I still remember that prayer and the old man's voice
934
01:19:05,907 --> 01:19:09,945
as he chanted, "Walking Thunder, hear me.
935
01:19:09,978 --> 01:19:14,449
The voice I send is weak, but it's my heart that speaks.
936
01:19:16,017 --> 01:19:19,221
Give them the strength to walk the soft earth
937
01:19:19,254 --> 01:19:20,455
that they may face the wind
938
01:19:20,489 --> 01:19:23,558
and walk the good road to the day of quiet.
939
01:19:23,592 --> 01:19:26,294
Hear me, because the time is accomplished
940
01:19:26,328 --> 01:19:28,063
as you have shown."
941
01:19:29,498 --> 01:19:30,899
It was the most beautiful prayer
942
01:19:30,932 --> 01:19:32,901
I think I'd ever heard before or since.
943
01:19:36,338 --> 01:19:38,940
Dark Wind had seen the future.
944
01:19:38,974 --> 01:19:42,244
And the day my sister was born, he went to meet it.
945
01:19:48,583 --> 01:19:50,051
- Papa the baby!
946
01:20:33,028 --> 01:20:34,162
- It's been here today.
947
01:20:36,097 --> 01:20:38,433
- We ain't never gonna get that bear.
948
01:20:38,466 --> 01:20:40,936
- I'm not leaving here empty handed.
949
01:20:46,608 --> 01:20:49,511
- The venison's down there in the ground larder.
950
01:21:03,458 --> 01:21:04,392
We've got company.
951
01:21:10,999 --> 01:21:12,300
- It's Richter! - Yeah.
952
01:21:39,194 --> 01:21:40,695
- Shots!
953
01:21:40,729 --> 01:21:42,264
- It'll take more than that to kill him.
954
01:21:42,297 --> 01:21:43,164
You stay here.
955
01:21:55,410 --> 01:21:56,645
- Get him!
956
01:22:00,482 --> 01:22:02,684
- We hit that grizz. I know it.
957
01:22:11,159 --> 01:22:13,261
Where is he? I know I hit him.
958
01:22:17,766 --> 01:22:19,768
I know'd it! I know'd it!
959
01:22:19,801 --> 01:22:22,370
- He can't have gone that far.
960
01:22:31,513 --> 01:22:32,714
- What is that?
961
01:22:37,719 --> 01:22:39,387
I don't like the look of this Richter.
962
01:22:39,421 --> 01:22:41,289
- It's an old medicine man.
963
01:22:44,159 --> 01:22:46,428
I'll take care of him once and for all.
964
01:22:46,461 --> 01:22:48,063
- What if he really is bad medicine?
965
01:22:48,096 --> 01:22:48,763
- Shut up!
966
01:22:50,131 --> 01:22:52,267
Then he's my bad medicine.
967
01:22:57,105 --> 01:23:00,508
Sing your death song old man. That's good.
968
01:23:40,348 --> 01:23:41,483
- Get him!
969
01:23:41,516 --> 01:23:42,717
Go on. Get him!
970
01:24:30,432 --> 01:24:32,867
- I think you've just run out of magic old man.
971
01:24:35,470 --> 01:24:36,337
- Hold it.
972
01:24:43,611 --> 01:24:44,646
Drop the gun.
973
01:24:48,850 --> 01:24:51,553
- You don't have it in you boy.
974
01:25:03,631 --> 01:25:04,899
- Let me at him.
975
01:25:25,887 --> 01:25:27,455
- Well go get him!
976
01:25:42,604 --> 01:25:43,872
- Where's Jacob?
977
01:25:46,007 --> 01:25:49,844
- Your friend isn't gonna help you now sonny.
978
01:25:53,515 --> 01:25:55,316
I'm taking your hair.
979
01:26:46,701 --> 01:26:47,769
- Jacob!
980
01:26:47,802 --> 01:26:48,670
- Papa.
981
01:26:49,737 --> 01:26:50,738
- Came up out of nowhere.
982
01:26:50,772 --> 01:26:52,540
- I'm glad he did.
983
01:26:52,574 --> 01:26:53,508
- He came to help us.
984
01:26:53,541 --> 01:26:54,842
- I just had a feeling son.
985
01:26:57,045 --> 01:26:57,912
- You done good.
986
01:26:59,914 --> 01:27:00,782
Both of ya.
987
01:27:01,983 --> 01:27:03,384
- I couldn't believe
988
01:27:03,418 --> 01:27:04,419
that my father had come after us.
989
01:27:05,820 --> 01:27:08,723
I never looked at him quite the same ever again.
990
01:27:08,756 --> 01:27:10,692
He was more of a man than I'd thought.
991
01:27:12,327 --> 01:27:14,829
To this day I can still see Dark Wind's face
992
01:27:14,862 --> 01:27:17,398
as he followed the great bear.
993
01:27:23,371 --> 01:27:25,440
Abner said weasel and Blood Coat had run off
994
01:27:25,473 --> 01:27:27,508
when my father came back.
995
01:27:27,542 --> 01:27:29,477
Abner told us he was going to make sure
996
01:27:29,510 --> 01:27:32,547
they didn't come back, ever.
997
01:27:32,580 --> 01:27:35,950
Abner said he'd come back in the spring to check on us
998
01:27:35,984 --> 01:27:38,653
said he'd take me along when he came back
999
01:27:38,686 --> 01:27:40,688
and then he gave me his Navy Colt revolver
1000
01:27:40,722 --> 01:27:43,391
that I had admired so much.
1001
01:27:43,424 --> 01:27:45,827
Said a man needed a good sidearm out here.
1002
01:27:47,695 --> 01:27:50,531
I knew I'd never be a mountain man like him.
1003
01:27:50,565 --> 01:27:52,467
And I told him so.
1004
01:27:52,500 --> 01:27:57,505
He told me I'd do better to be a man like my father anyway.
1005
01:27:57,538 --> 01:27:59,841
That a real man was someone who took care
1006
01:27:59,874 --> 01:28:01,643
of the folks who counted on him.
1007
01:28:17,792 --> 01:28:21,496
As I watched him ride off I knew he was right.
1008
01:28:21,529 --> 01:28:22,764
I never saw him again.
1009
01:28:40,181 --> 01:28:42,884
- Finished? All of it?
1010
01:28:44,552 --> 01:28:45,987
- How'd you know I'd read it?
1011
01:28:46,020 --> 01:28:47,388
- I figured you wouldn't.
1012
01:28:48,189 --> 01:28:50,024
But your father did.
1013
01:28:50,058 --> 01:28:51,626
Seems he's right.
1014
01:28:55,029 --> 01:28:56,064
- For me?
1015
01:28:56,097 --> 01:28:57,865
- What'd you think? Yes for you.
1016
01:29:01,002 --> 01:29:02,170
Now, write in it.
1017
01:29:02,203 --> 01:29:03,071
- I will.
1018
01:29:17,151 --> 01:29:19,420
- I realized I was more like my father
1019
01:29:19,454 --> 01:29:23,925
than I'd ever thought, because what's really important
1020
01:29:23,958 --> 01:29:26,094
isn't something you own
1021
01:29:26,127 --> 01:29:28,463
and isn't something you hold in your hand.
1022
01:29:28,496 --> 01:29:31,566
It's more than that, it's staying with the land,
1023
01:29:31,599 --> 01:29:34,202
working hard and raising your family.
1024
01:29:34,235 --> 01:29:36,471
Those ideals don't make a man weak.
1025
01:29:36,504 --> 01:29:37,772
They make you a man.
1026
01:29:45,646 --> 01:29:46,914
There were a lot of stories we heard
1027
01:29:46,948 --> 01:29:50,151
about the old man and the bear in later years.
1028
01:29:50,184 --> 01:29:51,819
The mountain men used to say
1029
01:29:51,853 --> 01:29:54,956
that the bear called Walking Thunder had died that day.
1030
01:29:54,989 --> 01:29:58,426
And the old medicine man buried him in a secret place.
1031
01:30:02,263 --> 01:30:06,033
And on that very spot was born the most pure spring water
1032
01:30:06,067 --> 01:30:07,902
ever found in the Rocky Mountains.
1033
01:30:14,942 --> 01:30:16,944
Medicine men of all nations years later
1034
01:30:16,978 --> 01:30:20,148
insisted that Dark Wind healed the great bear
1035
01:30:20,181 --> 01:30:22,083
with his powerful medicine
1036
01:30:22,116 --> 01:30:24,952
and the two roam the mountains together.
1037
01:30:27,522 --> 01:30:30,625
And finally, at the end of their lives, they were taken
1038
01:30:30,658 --> 01:30:33,995
to the great spirit's bosom without ever tasting death.
1039
01:30:35,263 --> 01:30:38,466
The Sioux have a saying, what is life?
1040
01:30:39,767 --> 01:30:41,969
It's the flash of the firefly in the night,
1041
01:30:43,604 --> 01:30:46,107
it's the breath of the buffalo in the winter time.
1042
01:30:46,140 --> 01:30:50,645
It's the little shadow which runs across the tall grass
1043
01:30:50,678 --> 01:30:51,679
and loses itself.
1044
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:56,984
Life is not long or short, it just is.
1045
01:30:59,620 --> 01:31:01,155
But I like to think of Walking Thunder
1046
01:31:01,189 --> 01:31:03,624
lived for many more years,
1047
01:31:03,658 --> 01:31:05,893
longer than any bear has ever survived.
1048
01:31:07,128 --> 01:31:09,931
To me he is the spirit of this land
1049
01:31:11,199 --> 01:31:13,968
and like the land, like our family,
1050
01:31:14,001 --> 01:31:17,004
that spirit goes on forever.74061
