knocked at the door.
355
00:22:29,739 --> 00:22:31,219
He might have
gone somewhere.
356
00:22:31,262 --> 00:22:32,655
No, he was there.
357
00:22:32,699 --> 00:22:34,309
I'’m surprised
that he answered.
358
00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:35,745
He didn'’t.
359
00:22:35,789 --> 00:22:40,054
I could see him through
the window resting in a chair.
360
00:22:40,097 --> 00:22:42,578
Well, I'’ll get Doc
361
00:22:42,622 --> 00:22:44,624
and we'’ll go over there
and check.
362
00:22:44,667 --> 00:22:46,756
Charlie won'’t like it.
363
00:22:51,413 --> 00:22:54,373
Come on, let'’s all
go over there.
We can wait outside.
364
00:23:18,701 --> 00:23:20,442
Remember the time
we all come here,
365
00:23:20,486 --> 00:23:22,618
tried to get him to go
out on the town with us?
366
00:23:22,662 --> 00:23:24,533
Years ago, that was.
367
00:23:24,577 --> 00:23:26,143
He ain'’t changed none.
368
00:23:26,187 --> 00:23:28,581
He'’d kick the doc out right now
if he was conscious.
369
00:23:28,624 --> 00:23:31,322
Most solitary critter
I ever knowed.
370
00:23:31,366 --> 00:23:34,456
I'’ve never seen anybody
like Charlie Parkhurst.
371
00:23:42,333 --> 00:23:44,771
Well, it'’s all over.
372
00:23:48,078 --> 00:23:50,994
Best man Wells Fargo
ever had.
373
00:23:51,038 --> 00:23:54,476
I-- I found this
inside of his shirt.
374
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,306
I thought you might like
to read it, Mr. Carter.
375
00:23:58,349 --> 00:23:59,525
The handwriting
is kind of faded.
376
00:23:59,568 --> 00:24:02,441
Birth certificate.
377
00:24:02,484 --> 00:24:06,488
Charlotte Parkhurst,
New Hampshire.
378
00:24:06,532 --> 00:24:11,188
1812.
Charlotte Parkhurst?
379
00:24:11,232 --> 00:24:13,277
Charlie have a wife?
380
00:24:13,321 --> 00:24:14,453
MAN:
His sister,
more than likely.
381
00:24:14,496 --> 00:24:15,976
No.
382
00:24:16,019 --> 00:24:18,108
It wasn'’t either one.
383
00:24:18,152 --> 00:24:20,284
It was Charlie himself.
384
00:24:20,328 --> 00:24:23,374
Doc, what are you saying?I don'’t understand.
385
00:24:23,418 --> 00:24:28,162
Charlie was born
Charlotte Parkhurst.
386
00:24:28,205 --> 00:24:31,295
The squarest, toughest,
fightingest crack driver
387
00:24:31,339 --> 00:24:34,124
that ever held reins.
388
00:24:34,168 --> 00:24:37,650
Cockeyed
Charlie Parkhurst was...
389
00:24:37,693 --> 00:24:38,738
a woman.
390
00:24:44,221 --> 00:24:45,571
THE OLD RANGER:
In the Pioneer Cemetery
391
00:24:45,614 --> 00:24:47,311
at Watsonville, California,
392
00:24:47,355 --> 00:24:49,400
not far from
the old stage route,
393
00:24:49,444 --> 00:24:52,491
you'’ll find the last resting
place of Charlie Parkhurst,
394
00:24:52,534 --> 00:24:55,102
who I'’m sure would be happy
that the name
395
00:24:55,145 --> 00:24:58,192
on the plaque presented by
the Historical Association
396
00:24:58,235 --> 00:25:02,588
of Pajaro Valley is the name
he went under through life.
