first of the long rifles and his blood

brother Ching Nutk, last of the

Moheakans.

[Music]

We heard your hammering. Stop by to lend

your hand, engine.

Maybe it was deaf when we said we don't

need no engine doctors in this

settlement.

Now take down that sign and get the

nails in that sign won't pull out

easily. And you can tell whoever sent

you that neither will I.

Now let's show them how to take down

that sign.

Don't come any closer.

I got something here that'll suck the

blood out of you easier than any of your

leeches, Indian.

I'm going to cut that hammer right out

of your hand. Clean up to your wrist.

Get them, boys.

[Music]

Maybe if I give you a taste of

medicine and lifted your hair, you'd

listen next time a white man spoke to

you, providing you live.

engine. That rifle you're carrying ain't

big enough to stop all of us. Would you

like to place a wager on that, mister?

You're musing the doctor's shirt.

You ain't got no call busting here. What

ain't your business, stranger. The

citizens of this town and said, "First

time I ever saw the citizens of any town

hold a meeting with killing knives in

their hands. Now drop the knives. The

meetings adjourn.

If you're around enough, stranger,

you'll learn yourself a lesson.

Engines and engineed lovers ain't wanted

here.

Hold it. Good. Easy.

Folks say I'm the learning sort. I just

might take the time to study this

lesson. If you want your knives back,

they'll be at the trading post. Now get

Hello, doctor Hawkeye Chingichk.

Thank the good Lord you got my letter.

My home is yours.

[Music]

This certificate would never have been

possible without your aid and

encouragement. All we did was nod our

heads when the doctor from the college

asked us if he had any sense.

I'm beginning to wonder if your faith in

me wasn't a mistake. Oh, we make mistake

only if our brother loses faith in

himself.

Don't worry about that, Chingachuk. I'm

proud of what I have accomplished. I'm

the only doctor in the territory.

It's just that I don't like having my

skill judged by the color of my skin.

People come in all shapes and sizes and

colors. It's going to take a while

before they can all learn to live

together. The people in this town have

never given me a chance. Hawkeye, from

the day I arrived here with my wife and

child, there has been hate and violence

toward us.

Hawkeye. Well, Kia

and she gets

Hey, let's see here.

Well, he's growing.

Aren't I big enough for a long rifle

yet?

I don't know. Maybe another year. Hey,

Gotia.

Excuse me. That's my friend.

That little boy out there is the son of

Jess Adams who runs the trading post and

whose voice is raised loudest of all

against me.

Out there is hope for future. Your

papoose and papoose of Adams play

together only now. But soon they grow

into big braves. Live together, work

together to make this happy land. They

become blood brothers like Hawkeye and

me. I got some tools back at P shed.

Let's get them. And then you can show me

how to make this bow and arrow. You

really want me to? Of course I do. Ain't

nobody else I'd rather play with or talk

to around here. That goes for me, too,

Ted. Come on, let's go.

Here, let me give you a hand, Mr. Brent.

This is woman's job.

Your food cooks. I go to clean sign. It

can wait. No stain must show on sign. It

must be bright as the star you follow,

my husband.

With a wife like that, you'll be all

right. Won't be long before the settlers

around here will be dropping by for the

loan of a cup of flour. Some of that

learning you got up there. If all I

needed to keep that sign hanging were

love and faith, there'd be no problem.

Sign is wood. Only good for fire. Unless

tell people you are doctor here and

here.

You are right, my brother. Foolish anger

and pride make me forget that I owe a

duty to more than just myself.

I am fortunate that I have friends whose

hearts beat loud enough to make me

remember.

Doc, in order to keep that star that

your wife's out there cleaning up

shining, I think maybe Chingage cooking

me'll hang around for a while. Keep an

eye on it.

[Music]

We go guzzling rum gully and ain't going

to get that engine hightailing it for

the deep woods. You're the one with all

the ideas, Adams. I'm just supposed to

see they're carried out. We go. You got

to think for yourself sometimes.

If and we let Tanama get a stronger

foothold in this place before you can

say daffodily vengeance is going to

start figuring they got rights. You'll

have them living in cabins all around

here.

Here comes that engine lover.

Boys here tell me you kind of broke up

their fun. I reckon we were a little

hasty taking their play things away from

them. Was only trying to get a few

laughs. Wasn't your ego? Mighty comical

joke we busted on to. Huh? Ching

Cookook. Next time white man make joke

like that. Maybe die laughing.

Well, you told Rio you bring these here,

so you're a man of your word. Outside of

that door, there's a road leading out of

town. You better take it. It's a mighty

peculiar road. When we first saw it, it

was leading into town. That's the way

roads are. They lead in and out of

places.

We're a powerful particular who takes

the road leading in here. Then we don't

like, we shows the way out. Especially

engines and engine lovers.

We'll be taking the road out of town

when we make up our own minds about it.

You're renegade. Get out of my store. Go

and get out and take that Philly Indian

with you.

Remember white man when heart is full of

hate some to him may choke in throat.

What I tell you? Treat those Indians

nice, they'll crawl all over you. White

men's talk make me feel like going war

path. He is bad medicine. I've known men

like him before. Call themselves decent

citizens. Well, they are for the most

part. But something in them is kind of

twisted about people who don't look like

them or think like them. He has twist in

spirit up here.

[Music]

Go get Dr. Tanama.

Mister, your wife looks like she might

be needing a doctor. I'm getting her to

one if I can make it to Elkville.

Elkville's 50 mi. She doesn't look like

she's fit for that kind of traveling.

Well, what else can I do? It's better

than sitting around the cabin watching

her suffer. There's a sign over there.

says there's a certified doctor right

here in town. There ain't no redskinned

doctor going to touch my wife.

Come judgment day, I suppose you figure

I'm telling your wife you let her suffer

and die just because you didn't like the

color of red.

You may as well go home, doc, unless you

want to stand here and watch a man

murder his own wife.

What's wrong with it, doctor? What's

wrong?

Move back, please.

[Music]

Put him to bed at once, Mrs. Failen.

Dose him every 3 hours with a teaspoon

of these bitters. That'll take the ache

and fever out of him. Thank you, doctor.

Thank you.

[Music]

That's my fourth patient today. Thanks

to you, Hawkeye. You can thank Mrs. Jeff

and your own skill. Ever since you

chased the fever out of her, she's done

nothing but praise you to the other

women. Folk, has Rigo been bothering

you? He's been avoiding me as though I

had the plague. I'm afraid that he and

Adams are up to something, though. Look,

he's been standing out there all day.

He's not standing out there cuz he likes

sunning himself.

[Music]

All right, boys.

[Music]

and stay away from that Indian doctor or

next time it'll be worse.

You were told not to go to Tanamas.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Are you going to let that engine tend

your wife again? No more. No more. Just

let him know there ain't no place for

Redskins in a white man's town.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Laughter]

He follows me everywhere, watching like

a cat in a mouse hole.

If it weren't for Mara and Kochi, I'd

blast that laughter down that throat

with a musket. Now, that won't solve

anything.

They're responsible for my patients

being intimidated. I visited them all. I

see signs of violence. Yet, they keep

silent. It's Adams. His hate is behind

all this.

Saying it doesn't prove it. None of them

will ever have the courage to seek

treatment from an Indian doctor again. I

might as well take down that sign and go

back to living in a tepee. Now, simmer

down, Tanama. Getting all riled up isn't

the answer to anything. It's not advice

I need, Hawkeye. It's proof that Adams

is behind all this violence.

Well, proof is truth, and truth has a

way of springing up as bright as a daisy

in a weed patch. Now, you just look

after your place, Doc, and me and

Chingichoke will see if there isn't

something we can do about this.

Looks more to me like a couple of

fistfuls of knuckles fell on your face.

It was an accident, I tell you. Couple

of shakes fell off the roof and hit me

in the face. I'm hearing you, but I'm

not believing you. Think it over, Mr.

Jeff, your wife wouldn't be alive today

if it wasn't for Dr. Tanama. If that

doesn't mean anything to you, think of

the other settlers, the men, women,

children who may be needing his help. I

don't think Adams and Rigo have the

right kind of medicine.

Come on, Ching. Cook

Hawkeye,

it was no accident.

They were hooded men. They said they'd

kill me if we went to Tonama again. Did

you know any of them? Told you they were

hooded. They didn't have hoods on their

tongues or on their fists. Well, it

could have been Rio, but how can I be

sure? It happened so fast. The next time

you hear Ro's voice, listen real good.

If you've got an ounce of decency in

you, you won't be too scared to point an

accusing finger at him. When fear make

man speak, lie. Maybe more fear make man

speak with straight turn.

[Music]

Hey, that's a pretty engine b he's got.

If you ask me, it's too good for him.

[Music]

Hey, where you going? Engine, what's the

matter? Don't you understand English?

Maybe a little engine talk will help you

understand.

[Music]

I'll take that.

Hey, let's show the fellas.

[Music]

Let him up. You want to fight, too? No,

but if I have to. What are you butting

in for? He's nothing but a red skin.

He's my friend.

Come on, guys.

Hey. Hey, injured lover. Hey, Ted.

Sorry, Ted. Here. Ah, forget it. It's

your slick. You really like it.

This is where you string it. When you

get a good piece of rawhide, I'll show

you. Get home. My paw. Don't make me

tell you again.

I'm going to learn you to stay away from

my boy.

What do you think you're doing, Adam?

You're still interfering, eh? Well, just

stand right there and you'll see how

decent folks takes care of rubbish.

[Applause]

I ain't no street brawler.

If you ain't out of this town within 24

hours, you'll be carried out. Feet

first.

I ain't finished with you yet either,

you redskinned brat.

[Music]

His coia's bow.

His good bow.

It's not mine. I don't want it.

It's a dark time for a little boy when

he feels hate that he can't understand.

Is not good for young papoose to feel

hate in life.

Your wife must be bad cook

to have appetite. A man must have

accomplishment.

What is the matter?

Coachia, when I was a boy, I was taught

never to show tears. You were an Indian.

You lived like an Indian. But what is

our son? I'll tell you. He's neither red

nor white. He's nothing. Mara, you can't

help it. I've tried. I can turn the

other cheek. So can you. But a little

boy. Do they want of him? Before we

accuse, let us learn what brought the

tears. Tell us, Kier. He called me

rubbish. He was going to hit me. Who?

Mr. Adams. He hates me. He hates all of

us just because we're Indians. Why?

What's wrong with us? Are we evil?

Tama, what are you going to do? I'm

still an Indian. And like my father

before me, my son is my honor.

I go now to my enemy's house to hurl the

arrow of war at his feet.

Answer

me. Ain't you heard me tell you a h 100

times you can't trust an engine? And how

many times have I told you how they

massacred your grandpar?

You know my rules. Redskins wait

outside. I come to tell you my rules.

Lay a hand once again on my son and I'll

kill you. I'll learn you to threaten me,

you dirty

Fair's fair, Mr. Adams, but emptying a

pistol into an unarmed man isn't. Come

on, Tanama.

[Music]

Stop him.

[Music]

All right, pick the place.

[Music]

All right, your fun's over.

Rashy, me won't shoot. But me will, and

you'll be first to die.

Well, we did what we come for anyway.

That you did, Mr. Adams. But when folks

around here come to their senses, you'll

be the one who's run out. Not Tanama.

Now get

[Music]

I won't need that living in a teepee

with a blanket around my shoulders.

I I just want to say I'm sorry for what

happened.

[Applause]

Oh, I'm sorry. Poor engine boy.

Nice.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Laughter]

[Music]

Clutter. Help.

Help.

He's been hurt.

How did it happen? Zeb. Zeb.

He's losing blood fast.

Maybe his father can find a doctor. I

understand there's a pretty good one in

Elville.

Well, come on, drink up. Then we can all

go out and enjoy seeing Tanama head for

the woods.

Adam,

what happened? Was an accident. He was

fighting some boy named Zeb. Ro, get the

barber. Wait, you blind fool. All a

barber knows is blood letting and

cupping. Your boy's head is busted. He's

been losing blood by the bucket. You

need a real doctor. You know we ain't

got one. Adams, your stubborn stupidity

is going to cost you your boy's life.

He's going to die if you don't change

your way of thinking about Tanama. And

right now,

after all you've done to him, I don't

know if I can talk him into helping you

or not. But if you say the word, I'll

try.

If I believed in signs and miracles, I'd

believe that the good Lord gave you this

chance to clean the black hate out of

your heart. Unless your hate's bigger

than your love for him.

Oh, Tanama wouldn't help me anyway. A

doctor's duty is to the weak regardless

of his personal feelings.

Forgive me, Hawkeye, for letting anger

make me forget my vows. Jan, he's all I

got. Help him. My son. I'll do what I

can. Take off his coat.

He needs blood.

I've seen it done, but it's very

dangerous. They take blood from a sound

person and put it in the sick one's

veins. It's the only way.

But I must warn you, there is a chance

that the new blood may be poisonous.

There's no way of telling until after

it's been transferred.

Well, do we try it or not?

Use mine or mine. We're friends. We

could be blood brothers.

They're the same age. They have the same

purity.

We all bleed the same color. Mr. Adams,

make room for Coachia to lie on the

table beside Ted.

[Music]

I always seem to be saying goodbye to

you and Chingachuk.

Well, each man has his own world,

Tanama. Yours is here and ours is out

there in the forest. Dad. Hey, Chad.

Well, I'll always know where to find you

two wild Indians. How'd you like

something for your sweet two feet?

Candy.

Looks like you won't have to worry about

the future. You see, like I tell you,

all future be happy now.

Join us again at this same time next

week for another of James Fenomore

Cooper's gripping tales of the early

American frontier. Another exciting

adventure of Hawkeye and his blood

brother Chingkook,

last of the Moheakans.

Heat.

Heat.

[Music]

The immortal pen of James Fenomore

Cooper

brings you thrilling tales of

excitement.

Blazing action on the early American

frontier.

Stirring adventures filled with the

daring and courage of Hawkeye.

First of the long rifles and his blood

brother Ching Nutachk. Last of the

Moheakans.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

these Delaware braves.

Ching.

Look,

[Music]

those prints made by white man's horse.

Shoes fitted by a good blacksmith. White

man's heavy boot. What do we do about

this?

We'll go to Fort Roberts and report it.

[Music]

Major Tilton, it's a plain case of

murder. Those two Indians didn't have a

chance. You may be right, Hawkeye.

Perhaps those two Indians were shot by

white men, but no chance to defend

themselves.

But I wonder if they were utterly

without guilt on the road. What do you

mean by that, Major? Do you know a town

site called Terry Town? Yeah, it's not

far from here. Well, depends upon what

you would call far. At any rate, a

merchant of that town and Mr. Benjamin

Stwell runs a supply store. Over a

period, three of his wagons have been

robbed. One of his drivers has been

murdered

by Delaware Indians. That not true.

Delaware peaceful tribe. Make treaty,

not kill anybody. According to our

reports, the contrary is true. Others

have suffered also. You can seriously

blame some of them if they sought

revenge upon those two Delaware you

found. I'd like to hear more about those

reports, major.

That's simply done.

Ask Mr. Stanwell to come here, please.

I have reason to believe that Mr.

Stanwell is an honorable man. He made a

special trip here alone and laid certain

charges specifically against the

Delawarees.

Major Mr. Samville, I want you to meet

these two men. Yes, I saw them arrive.

They're one they call Hawkeye and

Chingkook. Mr. Samuel, these two men

question your charges that the

Delawarees are guilty of the crimes you

say they committed. If the major will

allow me to put a question or two of my

own to these men. Permission granted. I

understand from the word around the fort

that you've been away for the past 3

months trapping. That's right. Have you

paid a visit to the Delaware tribe since

your return? We go tomorrow. Then how do

you know that the things that I say

about the Delaware are not true?

Delaware chief and tribe, my brothers.

These things you say happened. How can

you be sure they're Delawarees? As I

told the major, I had a good description

of them from the wagoners who came

through the experiences alive. They were

Delawarees.

That's all, Mr. Stanwell. I'm sorry to

detain you. I know you're on your way

back to Titan. Well, thank you, Major.

I'm truly sorry about this. I know how

you must feel.

You see, gentlemen, not tell truth.

That's a serious charge.

Major, the job of the army is to keep

peace in the settlements. You want every

Indian tribe to be a friendly one? Of

course. Ever think what'll happen if

you're wrong about the Delawares?

Blaming them for crimes that they're not

responsible for? Well, Chingage Cookook

and I know this territory and its people

pretty well. Give us a week to learn

what we can before you take any action

against the Delawarees. We'll report

whatever you find. Even if the

Delawarees are guilty as charged by Mr.

Samuel,

we give you our word, Major.

Go ahead.

I think that man Stanwell will not like

Indians. Yeah. Yeah. And he doesn't like

Delawarees in particular. Must be

reason. Yeah. We better learn what it

is. We follow him to Terry Town later,

maybe. But first, let's talk to the

Delawarees. They're in a mood to talk

and not wearing war paint.

War, fight, kill.

That's what Delaware do now. Time for

talk is over. That not sound like great

chief blackbox. Man of wisdom and peace.

Two more Delaware braves killed by bad

white men. Chief cannot stop braves of

tribe. The Indians can't fight the white

men. War is no good for anyone. White

men kill, we kill.

No good braves die for nothing. That's

right, Black Fox. But your quarrel isn't

with all white men, just the ones who

are doing you harm. Delaware not know

these men. What if we can find out who

these men are? How many sons?

Seven.

Too long.

How many sons it take young braves to

reach happy hunting ground? If great

manner not like battle in which they

die.

It is agreed. You have seven sons.

If men not found by then, Delaware moves

on war path. Kill all white people. I

carry this word in your name.

Fort Roberts that way. Time for that

later. We've got another visit to make.

Oh, Terry Town. Yeah, that guy Stanwell

keeps sticking in my craw. I'd like to

find out just what he's up to.

All this kingly track of land and at

present the Delaware Indians occupy it.

We want them off of it. Blaze, as

government land agent, you'll see to it

that I, with my rather honorable

reputation as land speculator, will be

presented with the first opportunity to

purchase that land at the very hour, the

exact hour the government repossess it

from the Delaware.

Ben, you've got those Delawarees so mad

they'll go out on the war path. I think

I've done what I had to do rather well,

Mr. Johnson. And give them still more

cause. If the Delaware goes on the war

path, the troops will step in. And once

that happens, we'll be in Clover. The

Delaware will be put on a reservation

and all that territory put up for sale

by the Indian Land Agency. And so far,

the goose hangs high.

Not as high as I'd like to see it.

There's a man the Indians call Hawkeye.

He might give us trouble. Then get rid

of him. It's as simple as that.

[Music]

[Applause]

Well, the job's done. Good.

Another one of standalone supply wagons.

[Music]

Nothing seems to be missing.

[Music]

This Delaware market.

Yeah, it's a Delaware design. All right.

Ching. It's good.

You read what I read.

That white man print.

Indian walk like this. White man like

this.

This proved nothing but white man here.

All right, boys. Mount up.

Wait a minute. Ben,

look.

Get that rope. Whoever did this here

wants the Delaware Indians to be blamed

for it. Stay where you are and don't

move.

What are you two renegades doing here?

Well, we were on our way to Tartown. We

heard rifles. You're a liar. You and

your Indians killed my men. It's a funny

thing, Stanwell. You don't seem very

surprised to find your men dead. None of

you care enough to take a close look at

them.

We didn't have to. I didn't think you

did. You and your men killed them. Make

people think Delaware do this. That's a

pretty smart Indian you've got here. We

tell Major at Fort Roberts. He believe.

I don't think Mr. Stanwell's too worried

about that. Seems to me he has other

plans for us. Excellent reasoning, my

friend. I have indeed. I don't think the

major will object too much when we tell

them that we hung the two leaders of the

Delawarees that did this. All right,

men. Bring them out here. We'll hang

them.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Come on I don't know.

[Music]

Well, looks like we've lost him. Come

on, let's report back to Major Tilton.

[Music]

two more of my men killed. There's no

doubt about it now, sir. That that white

renegade and his Indian friend are

plotting an Indian insurrection. It'll

be a full-scale war next. Unless you

move against the Delaware nation now at

once.

Mr. Stanwell, you're not giving me

orders. I'll let you know. I have no

mind to move against the Delawarees as

you suggest.

Make up to the tales. Take charge

personally. Bring Hawkeye and Chinatk

back dead or alive. Yes, sir.

[Music]

They'll keep searching for us like that

night and day until they prove something

or we do. We prove first. We better

hurry. Big hurry. Four sons gone

already.

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Stanwell make many strange visits

tonight. Yeah. First the Indian land

agents office and now in here. You know

who lived there? Yeah. Ira Johnson. He's

a land speculator.

meeting at this time of night with the

Indian land agent and a merchant. I'd

sure like to get an earful of what's

going on in there. We know here so far.

You're right.

[Music]

It's too much of a risk. That dog's

barking might have alerted them. What we

do now?

I've got another idea.

contracts and obligations appertaining

to relations between various Indian

tribes and his majesty's government.

If the Delaware at any time and for any

reason take up arms and attack a

colonial settlement as an act of war,

the lands on which the Delaware nation

reside, and all title and claim thereto

shall be forfeited to the crown.

There you have it, gentlemen.

A final step to be taken in our little

plan. I don't think I quite understand,

Mr. Johnson. No white settlement has

been attacked by the Delaware. Not yet,

maybe. But one will at dawn tomorrow.

Well, how can you be so certain, Mr.

Johnson? In spite of all Ben's efforts,

the Delaware haven't gone on the war

path yet. Nevertheless, they'll make

that attack at dawn. Blaze Dell. I'll

guarantee it. How can you be so sure,

Ben? How can you positively guarantee

that the Delaware will?

Oh, I see.

You mean that you will? So, now we're

all in agreement.

The risk is big, but our entire gamble

is big, and we'll take it.

[Music]

No hurry about that, Mr. Blazdel. Who

are you? Never mind about that. I'd like

to take a look at that book if you don't

mind. Book? Yes, that book that you've

got there in your hand. You You can't

look at this. It's government property.

Government records are open to the

people. I'm one of the people and I want

to see it.

[Music]

Let's see what you have marked.

Well, this is interesting.

The Delawarees take up arms at any time

for any reason. The land on which the

Delaware nations reside be forfeited to

the crown.

I not hear of that law. I reckon a lot

of other people haven't either. buried

in the stack of writing. But I think it

explains a few things. Thanks for your

trouble.

[Music]

And they can't more than a 5-minute

start. Now, Mr. Blazdale told you the

way they went, so go and get them. Now,

just one thing more. You got two hours

to do with it. After that, come on back.

We have a lot of work to do before this

night's over.

Ashes are dead. It's an old fire. We've

been out too long. Our time's up. Turn

me.

Circle the area. See if you can find

tracks and in what direction they're

leading. Then come back fast and join

us. We're going to move. Sure thing,

Fitz. Come on.

[Music]

enty tracks. He followed

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

The sign of that tree.

[Music]

What's your name? Turnley. One of

Stanwell's men, huh? What's he got in

mind for you? I don't know what you're

talking about. You've got a job to do.

What is it? Where do you meet Stanwell

next? He must have been living alone in

the forest too long. I'm not telling you

anything. All right, Ching Cookook. Give

him the Moheakin treatment.

You're not going to do anything to me,

Indian.

Now, wait a minute, Indian.

When you get through with him, meet me

back at camp. I don't want to watch

this.

No. No. Wait. I'll tell you what you

want to know. All right. What have you

got to say? Stanwell's got us meeting

back at Johnson's place in half an hour.

How many are there? Six. All right,

then. What? Then we go to Kingtown for a

raid. That's right. Dressed as Delaware

Indians, right? Where do you get the

Indian clothes? Stanwell got them.

They're in the stable. Take him back to

Fort Roberts. Tell Major Tilton where

Stanwell is going. Tell him to arrest

Blaze and Johnson.

When's Stanwell coming? Fitz. He'll be

right along. You know, it's going to be

a cold morning. Not with all the

shooting. Eight. Everything already fits

right then. Right. Count the roll.

Davis. Yeah. Rutled. Yeah. Downs. Yeah.

Turn. Yeah. Sheepard here. Burrow here.

Everybody mount.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

All right. Come on. Come on.

Right.

[Music]

Now, Kingstyle just threw that timber

over there. They all know what to do.

Shoot into the houses. Do a lot of

Indian war yelling. If anyone gets in

the way, kill. Get out fast. All right.

Maybe we better wait a minute. Stand

well. Wait for what? Well, these men

have been doing a lot of shooting and

killing for yourself and Johnson and

Blazeell. Now you're asking them to do a

lot more. It's what you're being paid

for and paid well, not

who are you? You're not one of our men.

Hawkeye.

That's right, Stanwell. It wasn't very

wise of you, was it? Riding along with

us like this. You're as good as a dead

man right now. Fits. Take care of him.

We lost enough time already. All right,

men. On to Kingtown.

Under arrest man.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

I From this day on, we both will live in

peace in greater friendship than

understanding. Hawkeye, friend of

Delaware,

receive gratitude of my people and mine.

I certainly wish I had you in my army.

You're sure you won't consider my offer?

Well, I I I'm afraid I like the woods

too much. Maybe someday I'll settle

down, but as long as there's fish to

catch and game to hunt and new land to

see, you understand, Major. Thanks

anyway. Arana.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Join us again at this same time next

week for another of James Fenomore

Cooper's gripping tales of the early

American frontier. Another exciting

adventure of Hawkeye and his blood

brother Chingutk,

last of the Moheakans.

[Music]

Heat.

Heat.

[Music]

From the immortal pen of James Venomore

Cooper came stirring tales of the early

American frontier when freedomloving

pioneers were carving a new nation out

of an unknown, savage and untamed

wilderness. stories of those exciting

days

and of the courage, daring, and devotion

of men like Hawkeye, the first of the

long rifles, and his tribal brother

Chingajuk, the last of the Moheakans.

Hey. Hey. Hey.

Iraquoy scoutlike squ. See nothing, hear

nothing.

[Music]

But that's the third scouting party

we've seen. They like vulture. Find only

corpse.

How far is settlement? As far as I could

tell from up there, Morgan'sboro is

about a day's journey away. Closer we

come to settlement, more Indian we see.

Maybe that why no message come from

settlement in two moons.

I've got a feeling there's no maybe

about it.

[Music]

I didn't hear you come out. Guess you

didn't. Ain't time for you to take over

yet? Your paw wants you.

What does he want? He'll tell you.

[Music]

You're not taking the boy. He's too

young. The boy is 19, older than I was

when I took you to wife, sir. Tom's

different. That's because you kept him

too close to you. Protected him too

much. Would it have been better if I'd

let him die like his brother fighting

Indians in the wilderness? People on the

frontier got no choice. Sarah, he's the

only one we've got left. Don't take him

with you. Look, the settlement's

surrounded by Indians. We're cut off

from the capital. Somebody's got to

break through and get help. Only a

couple of men can be spared. I'm one of

them, and I want Tom to be the other.

But it's too soon. He's not ready. Not

ready for what, ma?

You and me are going south, Tom. But the

Indians would are full of them. Well,

we'll make it our business to avoid

them.

I'd best get some provisions ready for

you.

Yar thinks that maybe I ought to take

you along. Why should she think that?

Figures you're too young. Ain't had

enough experience out in the woods yet.

Then it's about time I got some, ain't

it? That's the boy.

Goodbye, Will. Take care of yourself.

We'll be back soon, Sarah.

Goodbye, dear.

Good luck, Will. Goodbye.

Good luck. Good luck to you. Bye.

[Music]

You're tired. No, but I keep on

wondering what's going to happen to us.

Well, worrying won't stop nothing from

happening. Well, I can't help it. You'll

have to.

[Music]

As far as I can see, there only four of

them. I use the tree for cover and keep

firing. Where you going? Round them.

Maybe I can take him from the side. Do

as you're told. Make sure you keep them

busy.

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

die.

Tom, come.

[Music]

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

There's no more shots.

I think is not Hunter. No. The only

thing being hunted in this territory now

is scalps.

It's uh not out of our way. Should we

take a look? Our blood has flowed

together, my brother. I know Hawkeye go

many moons to pick up fallen sparrow,

even if not on way.

How about you?

I like sparrow.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

That airy might have had some friends.

You better take a look around.

Are you hurt bad? Uh, just a flesh

wound. Might have had a lot worse if you

hadn't come along.

First time I ever seen a white man

traveling with a red skin. Well, you

can't judge a man by the color of his

skin. Besides, he's a moan, not an airy.

Were you headed for Morgan'sboro? Uh,

just come from there. We're needing some

help. They're Mirquo trying to starve us

out.

I fly like mist.

Find rifle.

That's a nice looking weapon. Too good

for an airy.

Were you traveling with someone?

My son here a quite kill.

No. Might have been better if they had.

We didn't have a chance. Nobody would

have had a chance. There was just too

many of them. You sure your pot was

killed? The arrows were as thick as

falling leaves. He was hit right off. I

saw him go down. How'd you manage to get

away? I got the cover. Played dead. The

woods were full of Indians. I was lucky

to get back here. Nobody can get

through. Not if they turn tail and run.

You'd better clear the cabin. Morgan's

lost a lot of blood. What about the rest

of us? What about getting word to the

capital? Come nightfall, Chingage

Cookook and I will be leaving.

I guess you're proud naming your son a

coward before everyone. He is a coward.

[Music]

Jim, I'm ready to take my turn. Stand

and watch. You ain't got to turn. Why

not? You might see an Indian out there.

[Music]

Well, reckon you're here for them

provisions, Hawkeye? Yeah, we'll be

leaving in a few hours. Well, ain't much

we can spare. Larter's getting mighty

low.

[Applause]

These ought to see you through till you

get to the capital. Don't want you

taking time off going hunting.

You don't seem as dead set against the

boy as the other settlers here, do you?

Well, if you mean to mind us hanging

around, the answer is no. Used to be a

horse breaker. Learned that the finest

year can be mighty skittish and

undependable.

Don't stop growing into a fine horse,

though. You give him a chance. If you're

talking about me, there's no need to

whisper. Everybody in Morgan's Bear

knows I'm a coward. You won't have to

put up with me much longer.

[Applause]

[Music]

The way I got it figured, it should take

Chinguk and me about 3 days to get

through. And when we get back, I hope

it'll be with troops and provisions to

carry it through the winter. So getting

past the Indians ain't going to be easy.

Maybe some of us ought to go along with

you. More men go. Harder to get through.

Besides, you'll need every man you got

if they decide to attack. That's right.

Suppose you and Ching Cook don't get

through. What do we do then? Hang on to

your prayer book. Keep your potter dry.

Right. I'll keep my dry.

[Music]

Not shoot is not aqu make too much noise

for an Indian. You're right, Chinguk.

[Music]

I'm not going back. I'll never go back.

If Chingage and I were Irakcoy, your

scalp would be dangling from a belt

about now. What do I care? Young brave

not have right to throw away life. And

why not? Life belong to tribe. My

particular tribes made it pretty clear

they've got no use for mine. On the

frontier, every man's life is of some

use. Supposing the man hates the

frontier. Hates everything about it.

People, the dirt, the danger.

You really feel that way about it? Why

do you suppose I left Morgansboro?

You're headed for the capital. That's

where we're going. Three rifles are

better than two. I'm a coward. I

wouldn't be any help to you. There's no

sense in getting into an argument about

it. We just want you to go along with

us, that's all.

I hope you don't regret it.

We go.

[Music]

I feel danger ahead in forest. Can't we

go across the lake by canoe? No, we

can't. The lake's frozen. We take an

extra day to go around it. People of

Morgansboro might not be able to hold

out that long.

Too late for power now.

Remember

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

what I said? Three rifles are better

than two. But I I've never

[Music]

My brother shoot rifle.

Ain't much good with a rifle. But mine's

loaded if you want to use it.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Reload those guns and keep your eyes

peeled.

[Music]

Push arrow through. Break off. It's

going to hurt. I know.

You all right?

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

What are you

[Music]

Stop here.

How's your leg feel?

Not hurt much. Just the same. We'll rest

here for a while.

Tom, I don't see any reason why we can't

have supper. Do you? No. I'll gather

wood for a fire. Oh, no fire. It

requires sea smoke.

Only a small piece of venison left.

Yeah, that is pretty small. Well, why

didn't you say it? The reason we're so

short is because I didn't bring any

provisions. Tom, if I had have thought

it, I would have said it. You You don't

have to give me any protection or gave

me any of your provisions either. I

didn't even help you fight the Urkquay

when they attacked. When it was my life

at stake just as much as yours, Tom,

these aren't my provisions. They were

given to us by the people of

Morgansboro.

[Music]

We

We get lost. Yeah, it happened when we

left the river. Trees are so thick you

can't see where you're going. Someone's

going to have to climb a tree and find

out where we are. Possum not climbed

tree with wounded leg. Yeah.

How are you at climbing, Tom? Well, I

don't know that I'd be as good as you at

figuring out where we are, Hawkeye.

Well, when Chingage Cook and I are

alone, why? He's the one who usually

does the climbing. Why?

When I was a young, I fell and got hurt

pretty bad and well, I haven't done much

climbing since. You mean you're afraid

to climb a tree? Well, if you put it

that way, I guess I am. But a brave man

like you.

All brave men afraid sometimes.

[Music]

My brother looked deep into heart of

white brave.

[Music]

Sometimes bird carry Tommy Hawk.

You're a quiet.

They're blocking the trail to the

capital. Yeah, the forest is thick with

them. There's only one thing to do, Tom.

Chingichuk and I will try to draw him

off. We'll get as close as we can and

start shooting. But but that that'll

make him go after us and give you a

chance to make a run for it. Take the

high ground above the trail. You should

get past him without any trouble. But

that means you and Chingisku wouldn't

have a chance of getting out alive. Must

get word to capital. You mean to say

you'd sacrifice yourself for me? For the

people of Morgansboro, people you hardly

know. The way we look at it, Tom, people

on the frontier are building a future.

It's worth fighting for, even dying for

[Applause]

[Music]

This is about close enough.

[Music]

That darn fool. He's trying to draw off

the airy to himself.

[Music]

Turn up if it isn't working. Young brave

clear trail for us. As fast as Davagle,

he become man. He's cleared the trail

for you.

You stay. I figure he's going to be

needing some help. How's your leg? Leg

is fine. If my blood brothers stay, I

stay. You said yourself someone's got to

get to the capital. If anyone can get

through those air quay, it's you.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Why aren't you on your way to the

capital getting help from Morgansboro?

Ching Cook's taking care of that. I

figured you might need a little company.

You know something?

I do.

If you still want to try and make it to

the capital, I'll keep him busy while

you make a run for it. I'm through

running.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Tom, look.

Boy, am I glad to see them. I'm just

about out of powder. Yeah.

[Applause]

Well, I guess the road to the capital's

open now. There's a road to Morgan's I'm

thinking about now. Hawkeye.

[Music]

Hawkeye and your Indian brother, I'll

always be in your debt for saving the

settlement and for giving me back a son.

Seeing you all together again is thanks

enough for us.

Bye bye.

[Music]

[Applause]

Heat.
