Let'’s go.

00:07:49,817 --> 00:07:52,950
What am I bid
for this fine specimen of ore?
180
00:07:52,994 --> 00:07:53,951

202
00:08:38,213 --> 00:08:41,042

in this specimen would assay
at--

$500.
204
00:08:42,739 --> 00:08:46,264

more bandages, more medicine

00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,851

Here you are, John.

Leave it where it is, sir.
235
00:10:05,343 --> 00:10:06,606
But you own it.
236
00:10:06,649 --> 00:10:08,216
Well then I can auction
it off again, can'’t I?
237
00:10:08,259 --> 00:10:09,521
You mean you want
me to go through--?
238
00:10:09,565 --> 00:10:12,655
No, no. I'’ll do the
auctioneering this time.
239
00:10:12,699 --> 00:10:14,918
I'’ll bet you I can get
more money out of this crowd
than you did.

Here'’s $50 saysyou can't.

Oh, taken.

00:10:20,532 --> 00:10:22,447
Okay. Step aside, Major.
243
00:10:25,102 --> 00:10:26,451
All right, folks.
244
00:10:26,495 --> 00:10:28,279
Now, let'’s go.
245
00:10:28,323 --> 00:10:31,152
What am I offered
for this handsome specimen
of ore?
246
00:10:31,195 --> 00:10:32,762

Who will give me $100?

another hundred at it.300.

00:10:38,725 --> 00:10:40,596

Come on, let'’s--400.
252
00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:43,120
400. $400.450.
253
00:10:47,951 --> 00:10:51,912
You-- You gave them
1,000 dollars?
254
00:10:51,955 --> 00:10:53,870
Well, you know how it is
at an auction, dear.
255
00:10:53,914 --> 00:10:55,524
You get swept off
your feet.
256
00:10:55,567 --> 00:10:57,961
$1,000?
257
00:10:58,005 --> 00:11:00,355
John, that represents
all our savings.
258
00:11:00,398 --> 00:11:02,836
Yes, I-- I know.
259
00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:05,534
Money we'’ve been putting
by for Chip'’s education.
260
00:11:05,577 --> 00:11:07,318
To send him to school
back East when he'’s old enough.
261
00:11:08,711 --> 00:11:10,408
We'’d agreed, John.
262
00:11:10,452 --> 00:11:12,410
You'’d promised.
263
00:11:12,454 --> 00:11:13,803
I'’ll save more, Abby.
264
00:11:13,847 --> 00:11:14,935
There'’s plenty of time.
265
00:11:14,978 --> 00:11:16,676
You had no right.
266
00:11:19,548 --> 00:11:22,203
At least
it was in a good cause.
267
00:11:22,246 --> 00:11:24,553
You think the Sanitary Fund
is more important
268
00:11:24,596 --> 00:11:26,816
than your son'’s education?
269
00:11:26,860 --> 00:11:28,992
Darling, Chip
is only five years old.
270
00:11:29,036 --> 00:11:30,602
I can'’t wait till
the time comes
271
00:11:30,646 --> 00:11:32,387
for him to go back
to civilization.
272
00:11:32,430 --> 00:11:35,259
Attend a good
New England school.
273
00:11:35,303 --> 00:11:37,827
Abby, there'’s a war on.
274
00:11:37,871 --> 00:11:38,828
Men are suffering,
disabled.
275
00:11:38,872 --> 00:11:40,308
All right.
276
00:11:40,351 --> 00:11:42,745
Give-- But give in proportion
to what you'’ve got.
277
00:11:42,789 --> 00:11:44,486
Not everything you own.
278
00:11:44,529 --> 00:11:46,096
There'’s no sense
in impoverishing ourselves
279
00:11:46,140 --> 00:11:48,925
just because you were
carried away by emotion.
280
00:11:48,969 --> 00:11:49,926
I'’m sorry.
281
00:11:52,450 --> 00:11:54,888
I suppose the ore
is worth something.
282
00:11:56,890 --> 00:11:58,587
I haven'’t got the ore.
283
00:11:58,630 --> 00:11:59,849
You haven'’t?
284
00:11:59,893 --> 00:12:01,982
What happened to it?
285
00:12:02,025 --> 00:12:04,114
Well, I turned it back
to be auctioned off again.
286
00:12:04,158 --> 00:12:05,376
And the next fella
did the same thing,
287
00:12:05,420 --> 00:12:06,769
and the next.
288
00:12:06,813 --> 00:12:09,511
Abby, we raised over
$11,000 altogether.
289
00:12:09,554 --> 00:12:11,339
Where is the ore now?
290
00:12:11,382 --> 00:12:13,384
Major Sherman took it back
to the office with him.
291
00:12:13,428 --> 00:12:14,777
Well, the least he can do
is to give it to you.
292
00:12:14,821 --> 00:12:15,865
Oh, Abby.
293
00:12:15,909 --> 00:12:17,301
Well, you were
the first to win it.
294
00:12:17,345 --> 00:12:18,563
So what?
295
00:12:18,607 --> 00:12:19,826
Well, if you had kept it,
296
00:12:19,869 --> 00:12:22,045
they'’d only raised
$1,000 for the fund.
297
00:12:22,089 --> 00:12:24,352
As it is, they made
11 times as much.
298
00:12:24,395 --> 00:12:26,746
You'’re certainly
entitled to the ore.
299
00:12:26,789 --> 00:12:29,400
Ask for it back.Well, I should say not.
300
00:12:29,444 --> 00:12:31,141
Well, what'’s Major Sherman
going to do with it,
301
00:12:31,185 --> 00:12:32,795
now that it'’s served
it'’s purpose?
302
00:12:32,839 --> 00:12:33,970
That'’s his business.
303
00:12:34,014 --> 00:12:35,755
Put it on display,
I guess.
304
00:12:35,798 --> 00:12:38,932
Well, if you were to go to him
and explain how you--
305
00:12:38,975 --> 00:12:41,804
You overreached yourself
bidding our entire savings,
306
00:12:41,848 --> 00:12:43,414
he'’d understand,
I'’m sure.
307
00:12:43,458 --> 00:12:44,981
The Major'’s a good friend
of ours,
308
00:12:45,025 --> 00:12:47,636
and fine in every way.
309
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,682
Abby, a man doesn'’t
welsh on a bargain.
310
00:12:50,726 --> 00:12:53,207
I pledged
that thousand dollars.
311
00:12:53,250 --> 00:12:56,776
Very well.
If you won'’t ask him, I will.
312
00:13:00,910 --> 00:13:02,129
Hello, Mrs. Marshall.Hello, Tim.
313
00:13:02,172 --> 00:13:02,869
If you'’re looking
for Major Sherman,
314
00:13:02,912 --> 00:13:03,870
he'’s not here.
315
00:13:03,913 --> 00:13:05,132
When will he be back?
316
00:13:05,175 --> 00:13:06,133
Not for several months,
I'’m afraid.
317
00:13:06,176 --> 00:13:07,656
Several months?
318
00:13:07,699 --> 00:13:10,224
Yes, he took the noon stage
for the East, on business.
319
00:13:10,267 --> 00:13:11,529
Oh, I had no idea.
320
00:13:11,573 --> 00:13:13,140
Well, it was quite sudden.
321
00:13:13,183 --> 00:13:15,185
In fact, he just had time
to write the story
322
00:13:15,229 --> 00:13:17,013
of the auction
for this week'’s issue.
323
00:13:17,057 --> 00:13:19,842
And forward the proceeds
to the National Sanitary
Commission.
324
00:13:19,886 --> 00:13:22,366
Have you heard
we raised $11,000?
325
00:13:23,846 --> 00:13:27,719
Yes. And what happened
to the specimen of ore?
326
00:13:27,763 --> 00:13:30,244
Oh, that.
The Major took it
back East with him.
327
00:13:30,287 --> 00:13:33,073
Back east?In a carpet bag.
328
00:13:33,116 --> 00:13:36,380
Yes, ma'’am.
I guess to show '’em how rich
we all are out here in Aurora.

[ men laughing ]
330
00:14:31,522 --> 00:14:32,915
Out of my way, sonny,
331
00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:35,048
or I'’ll pick you up
and sell you to the Indians.

He got ahold
of a giant powder cap.
335
00:15:42,071 --> 00:15:44,030
Is he--No, he'’s still alive.
336
00:15:48,904 --> 00:15:50,471
But Doc'’s over in Bodie.
337
00:15:50,514 --> 00:15:52,081
I'’ll saddle up
and go fetch him.
338
00:15:53,778 --> 00:15:55,998
Chip! Chip!
339
00:16:11,883 --> 00:16:14,234
He'’s past the crisis.
340
00:16:14,277 --> 00:16:17,367
Looks like he'’s going
to be all right.
341
00:16:19,848 --> 00:16:21,154
Thank you, Doctor.
342
00:16:21,197 --> 00:16:23,591
I don'’t know what to say.
343
00:16:23,634 --> 00:16:25,680
You get some rest
while he'’s still sleeping.
344
00:16:25,723 --> 00:16:27,595
You need it.
Both of you.
345
00:16:27,638 --> 00:16:29,814
We could never
thank you enough, Doctor.
346
00:16:29,858 --> 00:16:33,514
Well, it was the good Lord
that pulled him through.
347
00:16:33,557 --> 00:16:35,037
You thank him.
348
00:16:37,431 --> 00:16:39,172
I'’ll look in again
in the morning.
349
00:16:44,351 --> 00:16:46,657
If he hadn'’t lived,
350
00:16:46,701 --> 00:16:48,572
I'’d never
have forgiven myself.
351
00:16:48,616 --> 00:16:50,183
Darling, don'’t say that.
352
00:16:51,358 --> 00:16:53,273
You were right, Abby.
353
00:16:53,316 --> 00:16:56,145
This is no place
to bring up a child.
354
00:16:56,189 --> 00:16:57,494
As soon as he'’s well,
355
00:16:57,538 --> 00:17:00,584
you'’re taking him back home
to civilization.
356
00:17:00,628 --> 00:17:01,890
John...
357
00:17:01,933 --> 00:17:03,326
I'’ll send you some money.
358
00:17:04,675 --> 00:17:06,242
You mean you'’re not
coming with us?
359
00:17:06,286 --> 00:17:07,896
Well, not for a while.
360
00:17:07,939 --> 00:17:09,419
Darling, where in the East
361
00:17:09,463 --> 00:17:11,987
have I got a chance to make
a fortune as I have here?
362
00:17:12,031 --> 00:17:13,075
You go.
363
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,425
And take Chip with you.
364
00:17:15,469 --> 00:17:18,254
Your family would be more than
glad to have you with them,
365
00:17:18,298 --> 00:17:19,777
You can put Chip
in school in Plymouth.
366
00:17:19,821 --> 00:17:23,303
Where I used to teach.Sure.
367
00:17:23,346 --> 00:17:26,175
He'’ll be able to make friends
with children like himself.
368
00:17:26,219 --> 00:17:28,438
Go to the
Congregational Church.
369
00:17:28,482 --> 00:17:29,222
Where we were married.
370
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:33,182
Oh, John.
371
00:17:33,226 --> 00:17:35,402
You'’re so good.
372
00:17:35,445 --> 00:17:37,230
Forgive me for all
the harsh things I said
373
00:17:37,273 --> 00:17:39,928
about the auction.
374
00:17:39,971 --> 00:17:42,539
It was mean
and ungenerous of me.
375
00:17:42,583 --> 00:17:45,238
They'’ve all
been forgotten long ago.
376
00:17:45,281 --> 00:17:47,588
Now, you have
to get some rest,
377
00:17:47,631 --> 00:17:49,285
like the doctor said.
378
00:17:49,329 --> 00:17:50,547
'’Cause you've got weeks
of nursing ahead of you
379
00:17:50,591 --> 00:17:52,158
before that boy'’s
well enough to travel.
380
00:18:00,253 --> 00:18:01,950
You were so young
when we left home,
381
00:18:01,993 --> 00:18:03,647
you probably don'’t even
remember Plymouth.
382
00:18:03,691 --> 00:18:05,214
What does it look like?
383
00:18:05,258 --> 00:18:06,563
Oh, it'’s not
just how it looks.
384
00:18:06,607 --> 00:18:07,738
It'’s what it is.
385
00:18:07,782 --> 00:18:09,349
What it is?
386
00:18:09,392 --> 00:18:11,481
Plymouth was the first
white settlement in New England,
387
00:18:11,525 --> 00:18:12,656
where our forefathers landed.
388
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:14,223
Forefathers?
389
00:18:14,267 --> 00:18:15,703
[ chuckles ]
The Pilgrims.
390
00:18:15,746 --> 00:18:18,140
This book tells
the whole story.
391
00:18:18,184 --> 00:18:20,316
ABBY:
"They came from the old world
392
00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:23,928
"in a little sailing vessel
called the Mayflower,
393
00:18:23,972 --> 00:18:26,844
"looking for a country
where they could be free.
394
00:18:26,888 --> 00:18:29,717
"After nine long,
weary weeks at sea,
395
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,241
"they sighted land, America,
396
00:18:32,285 --> 00:18:35,679
"and dropped anchor
off a storm-lashed coast.
397
00:18:35,723 --> 00:18:40,249
"It was just before Christmas
in the year 1620.
398
00:18:40,293 --> 00:18:42,121
"The rock on which they
stepped ashore
399
00:18:42,164 --> 00:18:43,861
"is known
as Plymouth Rock.
400
00:18:43,905 --> 00:18:46,081
"The threshold
to a new continent
401
00:18:46,125 --> 00:18:47,126
"and a new life.
402
00:18:48,649 --> 00:18:51,173
"It was a hard life,
lonely and dangerous.
403
00:18:51,217 --> 00:18:52,566
"That first terrible winter,
404
00:18:52,609 --> 00:18:53,915
"they buried nearly
half their number.
405
00:18:53,958 --> 00:18:57,614
"And yet, their faith
in God never faltered.
406
00:18:59,790 --> 00:19:02,184
"And when the Mayflower
set sail again for England
407
00:19:02,228 --> 00:19:04,012
"and they had
a chance to go back,
408
00:19:04,055 --> 00:19:06,232
"there wasn'’t
one soul who left."
409
00:19:06,275 --> 00:19:09,060
That'’s the kind of people
our ancestors were.
410
00:19:09,104 --> 00:19:10,279
Willing to brave a wilderness
411
00:19:10,323 --> 00:19:11,976
for the things they believed in.
412
00:19:13,761 --> 00:19:15,415
You wonder I'’m proud
of our heritage?
413
00:19:15,458 --> 00:19:17,417
Is Plymouth Rock
still there?
414
00:19:17,460 --> 00:19:20,115
Yes. It nearly disappeared
under the sands at one time,
415
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:21,464
but they rescued it.
416
00:19:21,508 --> 00:19:23,292
You'’ll see it
when we get back home.
417
00:19:23,336 --> 00:19:25,816
I can hardly wait.Neither can I.
418
00:19:25,860 --> 00:19:27,514
So you hurry up,
now, and get well.
419
00:19:32,606 --> 00:19:35,261
[ chattering ]
420
00:19:39,352 --> 00:19:41,354
Chip, settle down, now.
421
00:19:41,397 --> 00:19:43,878
When does the stage
come, Mama?
422
00:19:43,921 --> 00:19:45,401
Yeah.
423
00:19:45,445 --> 00:19:46,750
It is a little late.
424
00:19:46,794 --> 00:19:48,839
Hello, Claude.Howdy, Chip.
425
00:19:48,883 --> 00:19:50,014
How are you?
426
00:19:50,058 --> 00:19:52,060
We'’re going back
home on the stage.
427
00:19:52,103 --> 00:19:54,018
Well, be glad it ain'’t
in a candle box.
428
00:19:54,062 --> 00:19:56,020
What'’s a candle box?
429
00:19:56,064 --> 00:19:57,892
It'’s what they ship
miner'’s remains in.
430
00:19:57,935 --> 00:19:59,502
Remains?
431
00:19:59,546 --> 00:20:01,069
After they fool
with giant powder.
432
00:20:01,112 --> 00:20:02,679
[ chuckles ]
433
00:20:02,723 --> 00:20:03,680
So long, fella.
434
00:20:03,724 --> 00:20:04,725
Ma'’am.
435
00:20:04,768 --> 00:20:06,466
He'’s nice.
436
00:20:06,509 --> 00:20:08,381
Yes, for a rough man, he'’s--
437
00:20:09,773 --> 00:20:10,992
Oh, they'’ve all been nice.
438
00:20:12,123 --> 00:20:14,038
Oh, John, I wish that--
439
00:20:15,779 --> 00:20:18,173
I can'’t imagine
what'’s keeping that stage.
440
00:20:19,827 --> 00:20:22,569
You, uh, ha--
Have your tickets all right?
441
00:20:22,612 --> 00:20:24,048
In my reticule.
442
00:20:24,092 --> 00:20:25,267
And your money?
443
00:20:28,401 --> 00:20:29,793
You won'’t forget to write?
444
00:20:31,142 --> 00:20:32,405
Don'’t you forget, either.
445
00:20:34,145 --> 00:20:35,669
Here comes the stage!
446
00:20:40,282 --> 00:20:41,588
Oh, dearest.
447
00:20:41,631 --> 00:20:43,285
I wish you were
coming with us.
448
00:20:43,329 --> 00:20:45,113
I don'’t like leaving
you here alone.
449
00:20:45,156 --> 00:20:46,854
Now, don'’t worry about me.
450
00:20:46,897 --> 00:20:48,203
I'’m gonna be all right.
451
00:20:48,247 --> 00:20:50,553
You will join us
before too terribly long?
452
00:21:07,875 --> 00:21:08,963
Major Sherman.
453
00:21:09,006 --> 00:21:10,486
My dear Mrs. Marshall.
454
00:21:10,530 --> 00:21:11,966
Welcome back
to Aurora, Major.
455
00:21:12,009 --> 00:21:13,489
Hello, Major.Hiya, Tim.
456
00:21:13,533 --> 00:21:14,751
Glad to see you.
457
00:21:14,795 --> 00:21:16,797
I'’ve been looking forward
to seeing you.
458
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,669
I'’ve just visited
your old hometown.Plymouth?
459
00:21:19,713 --> 00:21:21,192
Brought you news
of all your friends.
460
00:21:21,236 --> 00:21:22,498
Well, as a matter of fact--
461
00:21:22,542 --> 00:21:24,326
Let'’s get on the stage, Mama!
462
00:21:24,370 --> 00:21:26,110
The stage won'’t be leaving
for a while, Chip.
463
00:21:26,154 --> 00:21:27,808
It won'’t?
464
00:21:27,851 --> 00:21:29,505
We had an accident
to the rear axle.
465
00:21:29,549 --> 00:21:30,550
This side of Bodie.
466
00:21:30,593 --> 00:21:31,986
It'’ll take time
to mend it.
467
00:21:32,029 --> 00:21:32,987
Well, how long?
468
00:21:33,030 --> 00:21:34,249
Several hours,
the driver said.
469
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:36,512
Oh, gee!
470
00:21:36,556 --> 00:21:38,079
Well, in that case,
we might as well
471
00:21:38,122 --> 00:21:39,515
go back
to the house and wait.
472
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:40,995
Will you come
with us, Major?
473
00:21:41,038 --> 00:21:43,345
I'’m eager to hear
about your visit to Plymouth.
474
00:21:43,389 --> 00:21:44,825
I could even
supply a drink.
475
00:21:44,868 --> 00:21:46,174
Well, thanks.
476
00:21:46,217 --> 00:21:47,784
I'’ll see you
at the office later, Tim.
477
00:21:47,828 --> 00:21:48,481
Yes, sir.
478
00:21:50,439 --> 00:21:51,962
When I left Plymouth,
479
00:21:52,006 --> 00:21:55,531
I presented the specimen
of ore to my host, Mr. Davis.
480
00:21:55,575 --> 00:21:56,837
You remember Mr. Davis?
481
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,969
Of course,
Head of the Pilgrim Society.
482
00:21:59,013 --> 00:22:00,144
An old neighbor.
483
00:22:00,188 --> 00:22:01,407
And in return
484
00:22:01,450 --> 00:22:03,322
he gave me this.
485
00:22:14,245 --> 00:22:17,205
A fragment of Plymouth Rock.
486
00:22:17,248 --> 00:22:18,554
Plymouth Rock?
487
00:22:18,598 --> 00:22:21,731
Where you were telling
me about, Mama.
488
00:22:21,775 --> 00:22:23,603
MAJOR:
It was chipped off accidentally
489
00:22:23,646 --> 00:22:26,388
back in 1700
when they were bringing
490
00:22:26,432 --> 00:22:29,130
the rock into view again
from under the sand.
491
00:22:29,173 --> 00:22:30,697
And they let you have it.
492
00:22:30,740 --> 00:22:34,788
As a symbol. From one group
of pioneers to another.
493
00:22:34,831 --> 00:22:37,181
[ shudders ]
Sort of sends
tingles up my spine.
494
00:22:37,225 --> 00:22:38,661
Can I touch it?
495
00:22:41,577 --> 00:22:44,275
The rock the Pilgrims landed on.
496
00:22:44,319 --> 00:22:47,148
Maybe they stepped
right on this very piece.
497
00:22:47,191 --> 00:22:48,976
Maybe they did, Chip.
498
00:22:49,019 --> 00:22:50,804
What'’re you going
to do with it?
499
00:22:50,847 --> 00:22:52,806
MAJOR:
Put it in the safest
place I can think of.
500
00:22:52,849 --> 00:22:54,634
Where it'’ll be preserved
501
00:22:54,677 --> 00:22:56,592
for future generations
of Nevadans.
502
00:22:58,072 --> 00:22:59,552
I'’m going to have it cemented
503
00:22:59,595 --> 00:23:01,641
in the wall
of our new courthouse.
504
00:23:01,684 --> 00:23:03,686
And I want you, my dear,
505
00:23:03,730 --> 00:23:06,689
to have a hand
in the ceremony.Me?
506
00:23:06,733 --> 00:23:10,214
As a descendent
of the Mayflower Pilgrims
507
00:23:10,258 --> 00:23:12,129
and the only person
in Aurora
508
00:23:12,173 --> 00:23:13,435
who comes from Plymouth.
509
00:23:13,479 --> 00:23:15,872
I do too,
can I have a hand?[ chuckles ]
510
00:23:15,916 --> 00:23:18,048
You forget, son,
you'’re leaving.
511
00:23:18,092 --> 00:23:20,660
MAJOR:
Oh, it'’ll be a few days.
512
00:23:20,703 --> 00:23:22,226
The early part
of next week, probably,
513
00:23:22,270 --> 00:23:23,967
before we hold
the ceremony.
514
00:23:24,011 --> 00:23:25,795
MAJOR:
You'’ll be back
by then, won'’t you?
515
00:23:30,844 --> 00:23:32,454
Where are you going? Sacramento?
516
00:23:32,498 --> 00:23:35,370
Well, I-- I was going
much farther than that, but...
517
00:23:37,024 --> 00:23:39,461
For this? I'’ll wait.

Into the walls
of this courthouse

and liberty,

the ideals for which our
forefathers strove most,

we place this piece
of Plymouth Rock.

The symbol
of that undying spirit

which carries man
forever forward

Oh, John, I'’m so glad.

00:24:31,992 --> 00:24:34,385
That your ancestors
came over on the Mayflower?
530
00:24:34,429 --> 00:24:36,518
And to be a citizen of Aurora.
531
00:24:36,562 --> 00:24:38,389
I'’ve only just
begun to realize,
532
00:24:38,433 --> 00:24:39,739
we'’re pioneers too.
533
00:24:39,782 --> 00:24:42,350
Helping to make
the history of America.
534
00:24:42,393 --> 00:24:44,918
May our children
be as proud of us
535
00:24:44,961 --> 00:24:46,528
as we are of those
who'’ve gone before.
536
00:24:55,145 --> 00:24:57,452
And, of course, she stayed.
537
00:24:57,496 --> 00:24:58,888
But I'’m willing to bet
538
00:24:58,932 --> 00:25:00,586
that there isn'’t
a history book in the country
539
00:25:00,629 --> 00:25:03,153
that tells this
true story of the exchange,
540
00:25:03,197 --> 00:25:07,636
back there in 1864,
of a piece of Nevada gold ore
541
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,812
for a piece
of historic Plymouth Rock.
