1
00:00:41,850 --> 00:00:51,850
Ripped By mstoll
2
00:01:03,925 --> 00:01:08,089
It's been said that the West
was won with guns and gold.
3
00:01:08,263 --> 00:01:09,389
It was not.
4
00:01:09,564 --> 00:01:12,294
It was won by the courage
of simple people...
5
00:01:12,467 --> 00:01:15,368
...who had pushed their ponderous
wagons forever West...
6
00:01:15,537 --> 00:01:19,371
...through 200,000 square miles
of awesome wilderness.
7
00:01:20,408 --> 00:01:22,706
Some were drawn by the lure of gold.
8
00:01:22,877 --> 00:01:28,816
But for the most part, they were families
moved by the dream of a new beginning.
9
00:01:28,983 --> 00:01:31,713
This story is about such a family.
10
00:01:31,886 --> 00:01:34,320
Their name, Macahan.
11
00:01:34,489 --> 00:01:37,151
The sons and daughters
of Katherine Macahan...
12
00:01:37,325 --> 00:01:41,762
...were destined to write their own brilliant
pages into the history of the West.
13
00:01:41,930 --> 00:01:45,366
But in the beginning the only member
of the family whose name...
14
00:01:45,533 --> 00:01:48,297
...had already been touched
by the stuff of legend...
15
00:01:48,470 --> 00:01:53,601
...was a man cut in the image of Bridger
and Bowie and Jeremiah Johnson.
16
00:01:53,775 --> 00:01:57,541
Zebulon Macahan.
17
00:02:39,187 --> 00:02:43,021
I ain't never seen a Sioux yet
didn't jump when he heard the devil.
18
00:02:56,938 --> 00:02:58,769
Go ahead and carve, feather brain.
19
00:02:58,940 --> 00:03:00,500
All you're gonna get out of me is this.
20
00:03:32,373 --> 00:03:36,707
Macahan, how about telling these
ring-tailed Sioux to turn me loose?
21
00:03:39,547 --> 00:03:41,811
Who's buying scalps, Dutton?
22
00:03:42,450 --> 00:03:44,077
What would I know about scalping?
23
00:03:44,752 --> 00:03:48,711
You peddled whiskey to a Sioux
hunting party about three days ago.
24
00:03:49,424 --> 00:03:51,517
I counted six bodies.
They were still warm.
25
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,088
It was you.
Your sign was all over the place.
26
00:03:55,430 --> 00:04:00,390
Yeah, one of them got away upriver
and took his scalp with him.
27
00:04:00,869 --> 00:04:03,997
Turned out he was carrying a grudge.
Sicced the others on us.
28
00:04:04,172 --> 00:04:07,767
Yates is dead. So is Bullion and Juno.
29
00:04:09,010 --> 00:04:10,409
Yeah.
30
00:04:11,145 --> 00:04:13,705
Seems like they're kind of saving
you special, don't it?
31
00:04:15,083 --> 00:04:18,746
You just here for supper
or are you gonna help me out of this?
32
00:04:34,135 --> 00:04:37,969
Tell him they can still have
the pleasure of seeing him die.
33
00:04:38,139 --> 00:04:40,937
- They're invited to the hanging.
- Hanging?
34
00:04:41,109 --> 00:04:45,011
And tell them if they come to the hanging,
there'll be a dozen steers for them.
35
00:05:17,111 --> 00:05:18,476
Hanging?
36
00:05:19,948 --> 00:05:23,179
We trailed together, Macahan.
You're just running a bluff.
37
00:05:23,351 --> 00:05:25,216
No bluff.
38
00:05:25,586 --> 00:05:27,383
Get his horse.
39
00:05:29,157 --> 00:05:31,921
You turned injun-Iover on me.
40
00:05:32,827 --> 00:05:36,160
Now, Dutton, one more word out of you...
41
00:05:36,331 --> 00:05:38,492
...we're just liable to leave you here.
42
00:05:38,666 --> 00:05:40,327
Is that what you want?
43
00:06:09,063 --> 00:06:10,087
Being locked up...
44
00:06:11,499 --> 00:06:13,262
...I don't like it.
45
00:06:13,935 --> 00:06:15,960
I need the sky over my head,
just like you.
46
00:06:16,404 --> 00:06:19,202
Hunting and trapping,
that's the only life for a man.
47
00:06:20,608 --> 00:06:24,840
I heard there was beaver up at Bear Paw.
A harvest of them.
48
00:06:25,013 --> 00:06:27,538
We could leave right now
and head north.
49
00:06:31,386 --> 00:06:33,013
They was just Indians, Zeb.
50
00:06:33,187 --> 00:06:35,655
You been in their lodges.
You seen their scalp poles.
51
00:06:35,823 --> 00:06:38,621
Yeah. And one of them was Lame Deer.
52
00:06:39,260 --> 00:06:42,093
We used to winter with him.
He trusted you, Dutton.
53
00:06:43,097 --> 00:06:44,860
The Army don't kill you, I will.
54
00:06:47,835 --> 00:06:49,632
Let's go.
55
00:06:57,378 --> 00:06:59,243
Riders coming in.
56
00:07:15,863 --> 00:07:17,797
Take him to the guardhouse.
57
00:07:23,438 --> 00:07:24,735
- Colonel.
- Macahan...
58
00:07:24,906 --> 00:07:27,773
...that guardhouse will not hold me.
I'll get out.
59
00:07:27,942 --> 00:07:30,433
When I do, it's your scalp I'll be taking.
60
00:07:30,611 --> 00:07:34,479
And I'll carve you slow
just like them Sioux aim to do to me.
61
00:07:34,949 --> 00:07:40,546
I ain't never carved no white man,
Macahan. You'll be my first.
62
00:07:40,721 --> 00:07:42,518
You promised him what?
63
00:07:42,690 --> 00:07:45,022
Take it easy, colonel,
before you bust something.
64
00:07:45,193 --> 00:07:48,993
You just can't go around promising
every savage in this country beef.
65
00:07:49,163 --> 00:07:53,099
There was only a dozen of them,
colonel. A war party after Dutton.
66
00:07:53,267 --> 00:07:55,227
Why didn't you just let them kill Dutton?
67
00:07:55,369 --> 00:07:58,167
As a matter of fact
I thought of that before I went in there.
68
00:07:58,339 --> 00:08:00,739
But there was three reasons
why I didn't wanna.
69
00:08:00,908 --> 00:08:02,341
Three reasons?
70
00:08:02,510 --> 00:08:05,377
Well, in the first place
you told me to bring him in.
71
00:08:05,546 --> 00:08:07,878
I like to finish what I start.
72
00:08:08,049 --> 00:08:09,482
And two?
73
00:08:09,650 --> 00:08:12,346
Well, Dutton's not only got
the Sioux stirred up...
74
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,784
...but the Crow and the Blackfeet too.
75
00:08:15,223 --> 00:08:19,751
Looks like the whole territory
is about to break out into an Indian war.
76
00:08:22,163 --> 00:08:23,425
Third.
77
00:08:24,765 --> 00:08:29,793
Well, I've seen the Indians peel a man,
colonel, inch at a time.
78
00:08:29,971 --> 00:08:31,962
Sioux are expert at it.
79
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,571
They can keep a strong man alive
for two days that way.
80
00:08:37,478 --> 00:08:39,776
Not even Dutton deserves to die like that.
81
00:08:41,082 --> 00:08:44,518
You risked your life
to save a man like Dutton...
82
00:08:45,086 --> 00:08:48,988
...yet my sergeant tells me he's seen you
carve men up pretty good...
83
00:08:49,157 --> 00:08:51,682
...with that Bowie knife,
not even turn a hair.
84
00:08:51,859 --> 00:08:55,556
Heh, well, those men were trying
pretty hard to carve on me too, colonel.
85
00:08:55,730 --> 00:08:58,198
Tends to put a different light on it.
86
00:08:59,133 --> 00:09:04,799
Now, uh, I promised Bear Dance a dozen
head of steer. Is he gonna get them?
87
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,134
He gets them and an invitation
to the hanging.
88
00:09:10,811 --> 00:09:11,835
Come in.
89
00:09:13,781 --> 00:09:15,772
Message for you, sir.
90
00:09:16,050 --> 00:09:18,917
This is from Colonel Collins.
91
00:09:26,227 --> 00:09:28,195
What's the matter, colonel?
92
00:09:29,130 --> 00:09:31,894
My father, he's dead.
93
00:09:41,142 --> 00:09:43,975
That's 10 years' worth of letters.
94
00:09:44,512 --> 00:09:48,278
Every one of them asking me
when I was coming home.
95
00:09:51,385 --> 00:09:52,682
I meant to get back.
96
00:09:53,387 --> 00:09:55,184
God help me, I did.
97
00:09:55,356 --> 00:09:58,018
I was all the family he had...
98
00:09:58,192 --> 00:10:00,752
...I let him die alone.
99
00:10:08,336 --> 00:10:12,932
Bringing Dutton in, ahem,
may ease things for a while...
100
00:10:13,107 --> 00:10:15,371
...but I'm still concerned
about those settlers...
101
00:10:15,543 --> 00:10:19,707
...between here and the Sioux villages.
I want them evacuated.
102
00:10:21,649 --> 00:10:26,416
Colonel, maybe you better get
somebody else this time.
103
00:10:27,588 --> 00:10:31,752
- Been 10 years since I've seen my folks.
- All the way back to Virginia?
104
00:10:34,262 --> 00:10:35,957
They're getting old too.
105
00:10:39,267 --> 00:10:41,929
You could be riding into a war.
106
00:10:42,103 --> 00:10:44,799
Dispatches say it's just a matter of time.
107
00:10:45,773 --> 00:10:47,365
Yeah, I know.
108
00:10:47,541 --> 00:10:49,839
Colonel, look, about those settlers...
109
00:10:50,011 --> 00:10:52,138
...give a few men to Billy Joe.
110
00:10:52,313 --> 00:10:55,009
- He'll get the job done for you.
- He ready for that?
111
00:10:57,018 --> 00:10:58,918
I broke him in.
112
00:11:17,104 --> 00:11:18,765
When are we leaving?
113
00:11:19,774 --> 00:11:22,004
I'm not going, you are.
114
00:11:24,211 --> 00:11:25,872
And you?
115
00:11:26,814 --> 00:11:29,977
Well, uh, Billy Joe, I'm going back home.
116
00:11:30,151 --> 00:11:32,119
Back to Virginia.
117
00:11:32,420 --> 00:11:36,982
Look, I told the colonel you're the man
for the job while I'm gone.
118
00:11:37,458 --> 00:11:40,916
You let me down you're gonna be looking
for your praying bones.
119
00:11:41,295 --> 00:11:44,822
Meantime,
don't you forget what I taught you.
120
00:11:44,999 --> 00:11:47,524
You shoot them
where they look the biggest.
121
00:11:47,702 --> 00:11:50,569
And don't go far as hell for no woman.
122
00:11:51,539 --> 00:11:54,372
- So long, Billy Joe.
- So long.
123
00:12:18,332 --> 00:12:21,768
- I will not see him again.
- You'll see him again.
124
00:12:22,770 --> 00:12:24,533
He'll be back.
125
00:12:51,766 --> 00:12:52,960
- Mattie.
- Hmm?
126
00:12:53,134 --> 00:12:54,692
Come here.
127
00:12:57,304 --> 00:12:59,101
Look who's coming.
128
00:12:59,740 --> 00:13:02,607
- Oh, Pa. Pa, heh.
- Heh.
129
00:13:08,048 --> 00:13:09,072
Zebulon.
130
00:13:15,823 --> 00:13:17,381
Zebulon.
131
00:13:18,893 --> 00:13:23,125
Oh, Zeb. Oh, Zeb.
132
00:13:23,297 --> 00:13:25,060
- Pa.
- Hello, Zeb.
133
00:13:25,232 --> 00:13:28,292
About time you was paying us a visit.
134
00:13:30,371 --> 00:13:32,100
Jed, where's Laura?
135
00:13:32,273 --> 00:13:34,434
- She's supposed to be helping.
- I don't know.
136
00:13:34,608 --> 00:13:37,941
Bet she's up in her room again,
primping in front of that looking glass.
137
00:13:38,112 --> 00:13:41,843
- You tell her to get her bustle down here.
- You tell her.
138
00:13:42,016 --> 00:13:43,984
I'm tired of telling her.
139
00:13:44,151 --> 00:13:47,018
Besides, I'm not just a messenger boy
around here, you know.
140
00:13:47,188 --> 00:13:50,316
I got more important things to do
than to look after Laura.
141
00:13:51,892 --> 00:13:54,452
Oh, God.
142
00:13:55,629 --> 00:13:56,653
Jed, you all right?
143
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:02,196
Fixed it good for you, Ma.
144
00:14:02,369 --> 00:14:04,303
Won't leak again for 100 years.
145
00:14:05,072 --> 00:14:06,630
Thank you.
146
00:14:06,807 --> 00:14:11,642
Ah, do you mind taking it in the house
and boiling some water and filling the tub?
147
00:14:11,812 --> 00:14:13,575
Yes, ma'am.
148
00:14:14,181 --> 00:14:16,615
- Have you seen your brother?
- Ah.
149
00:14:16,784 --> 00:14:19,014
Now, Jessie just asked me
if I'd seen Laura.
150
00:14:20,855 --> 00:14:23,824
She's supposed to be working
in the corn crib.
151
00:14:24,825 --> 00:14:27,419
You haven't answered me about Seth.
152
00:14:28,596 --> 00:14:30,461
- Well, have you seen him?
- I've seen him.
153
00:14:30,631 --> 00:14:33,156
Less than an hour ago with his rifle.
154
00:14:38,105 --> 00:14:39,470
Oh, Laura.
155
00:14:52,653 --> 00:14:54,416
Laura.
156
00:14:55,589 --> 00:14:56,681
Laura, are you in there?
157
00:14:59,193 --> 00:15:00,956
Yes, Mother.
158
00:15:01,428 --> 00:15:04,625
- What are you doing in that dress?
- The church meeting.
159
00:15:04,798 --> 00:15:07,130
Oh, my, I didn't realize
it was getting that late.
160
00:15:07,301 --> 00:15:10,998
- Near 5:00, Ma.
- I better get your father.
161
00:15:16,544 --> 00:15:17,806
Timothy.
162
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,570
- Supper's ready.
- Ah.
163
00:15:21,749 --> 00:15:24,309
I'll be along by the time the table's set.
164
00:15:24,485 --> 00:15:26,817
Oh, you've done enough work
for one day.
165
00:15:26,987 --> 00:15:29,512
Besides, it's time to get ready for church.
166
00:15:30,858 --> 00:15:35,124
- That time again already, is it?
- Yes, it's that time again already.
167
00:15:35,296 --> 00:15:37,958
- One evening out of a whole week...
- I know. I know.
168
00:15:38,132 --> 00:15:39,724
Have you seen Seth?
169
00:15:39,900 --> 00:15:42,926
Yeah, I seen him around,
been a couple of hours.
170
00:15:43,103 --> 00:15:45,936
You know you've seen that boy
going off with his rifle...
171
00:15:46,106 --> 00:15:48,040
...when he should be patching the roof.
172
00:15:48,208 --> 00:15:50,108
Now, Kate, don't be too hard on him.
173
00:15:50,277 --> 00:15:52,108
He's young and a mite restless.
174
00:15:53,247 --> 00:15:55,078
When you were his age,
you were working.
175
00:15:55,249 --> 00:15:59,948
When I was his age, I had you wedded
and bedded and got you a child.
176
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,748
- In double quick time too.
- Heh.
177
00:16:03,424 --> 00:16:05,517
Brazen man you are, Timothy Macahan.
178
00:16:05,693 --> 00:16:07,991
Never heard any complaints
from you before.
179
00:16:08,162 --> 00:16:10,630
And I'll not discuss
that matter with you now.
180
00:16:10,798 --> 00:16:13,790
And I'll not have you changing the subject
so sneakily, either.
181
00:16:13,968 --> 00:16:15,435
I don't like you protecting Seth.
182
00:16:15,603 --> 00:16:17,070
- There's work to be done.
- Ugh.
183
00:16:17,237 --> 00:16:20,172
Oh, Seth just needs to spread
his shoulders some.
184
00:16:20,341 --> 00:16:22,809
Just needs to see
what it's like on the other side.
185
00:16:22,977 --> 00:16:25,844
He's like your brother. They're alike.
186
00:16:26,013 --> 00:16:31,178
Zeb's a good man, Kate. He's just not meant
to settle down in one spot that's all.
187
00:16:31,685 --> 00:16:34,176
- He's a drifter and a gambler.
- Oh, Kate.
188
00:16:34,355 --> 00:16:36,915
- And a pagan.
- Kate.
189
00:16:37,391 --> 00:16:41,020
He is a godless man. And the Lord knows
what else these last 10 years.
190
00:16:41,562 --> 00:16:44,360
I don't like the idea of Seth
taking on like him.
191
00:16:46,634 --> 00:16:50,035
Well, guess you can expect Seth home
any minute now.
192
00:17:13,894 --> 00:17:16,920
Hey, Seth, hold up.
193
00:17:19,967 --> 00:17:24,427
- Well, what are you wearing?
- Confederate gray. 29th Virginia Volunteers.
194
00:17:24,605 --> 00:17:26,766
Seth, where've you been?
195
00:17:28,475 --> 00:17:30,136
- Henry?
- Mrs. Macahan.
196
00:17:30,310 --> 00:17:32,369
Just come on my way over
to say my goodbyes.
197
00:17:32,946 --> 00:17:34,436
Where you going?
198
00:17:34,615 --> 00:17:38,210
They're putting us on a train to Richmond
tonight. I don't know from there.
199
00:17:38,385 --> 00:17:40,819
- Why, Henry?
- To kill Yankees, ma'am.
200
00:17:42,389 --> 00:17:45,984
But there's no war, not yet.
At least, not fighting.
201
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,493
But there's gonna be. It's been over
two weeks since we fired on Sumter.
202
00:17:49,663 --> 00:17:51,255
Yankees already calling up troops.
203
00:17:51,432 --> 00:17:54,697
But my sergeant says the war's
gonna be over before we know it.
204
00:17:54,868 --> 00:17:58,031
Says any Yankees cross into Missouri
is gonna be dead.
205
00:17:58,572 --> 00:18:02,975
- You and Jed volunteer before it's all over.
- Oh, they'll do no such thing.
206
00:18:03,544 --> 00:18:06,604
- We have no stake in this war.
- You're not gonnajoin up, Seth?
207
00:18:09,149 --> 00:18:13,347
Well, they must figure the fighting
gonna start pretty soon.
208
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,980
You betcha. You best join up, Seth.
The captain says them as volunteers now...
209
00:18:18,158 --> 00:18:21,992
...will have it a lot better than them
that has to be conscripted.
210
00:18:22,162 --> 00:18:23,561
Seth, you better go wash up.
211
00:18:25,032 --> 00:18:26,932
We'll be late for church.
212
00:18:32,239 --> 00:18:35,402
So long, Henry. Good luck to you.
213
00:18:35,576 --> 00:18:39,342
Be back as soon as we finish off
them Yankees. So long, Mrs. Macahan.
214
00:18:39,513 --> 00:18:42,414
Henry, God bless you.
215
00:18:46,653 --> 00:18:49,053
The way things look
I'm not gonna have much choice.
216
00:18:49,990 --> 00:18:51,014
Jed neither.
217
00:19:03,170 --> 00:19:05,530
Well, I'm glad we're not eating in there.
It's like an oven.
218
00:19:05,672 --> 00:19:09,301
Heh, really. Jessie, where's Laura?
219
00:19:09,476 --> 00:19:12,968
- Still fretting and primping.
- Well, tell her to get a hurry on. Jed too.
220
00:19:13,147 --> 00:19:17,243
Get some, uh, forks and knives.
Don't touch that.
221
00:19:17,417 --> 00:19:20,682
Tim Macahan.
You got two minutes to break out ajug.
222
00:19:21,855 --> 00:19:23,982
- It's Uncle Zeb.
- Is it, Pa?
223
00:19:24,158 --> 00:19:26,217
By heaven, it is. Zeb!
224
00:19:27,628 --> 00:19:30,028
Well, you're the last man
I ever expected to see.
225
00:19:30,197 --> 00:19:31,664
What are you doing around here?
226
00:19:31,832 --> 00:19:34,357
I figured it was time I got back
and checked up on you.
227
00:19:34,535 --> 00:19:36,662
God. Kate, look who's here.
228
00:19:36,837 --> 00:19:40,432
- Hello, Kate.
- Oh, Zeb, what a surprise.
229
00:19:40,607 --> 00:19:43,440
- You're looking fine.
- Thank you.
230
00:19:43,610 --> 00:19:45,043
Seth.
231
00:19:46,313 --> 00:19:48,178
Golly, you have growed to a man.
232
00:19:48,882 --> 00:19:51,248
I was 12 years old last time
you saw me, Uncle Zeb.
233
00:19:51,418 --> 00:19:53,443
He's more like you
than we care to think about.
234
00:19:53,620 --> 00:19:55,713
Heh, yeah.
235
00:19:55,889 --> 00:19:57,720
- This must be Jed.
- Yes, sir.
236
00:19:58,792 --> 00:20:02,660
Jed, last time I saw you, you had to
climb up on that well to get a drink, heh.
237
00:20:02,830 --> 00:20:05,298
- You growed some too.
- Still am, Uncle Zeb.
238
00:20:05,999 --> 00:20:08,160
- Growing, I mean, heh.
- Uncle Zeb.
239
00:20:08,335 --> 00:20:10,428
Since I was high as a grasshopper,
been hearing about you.
240
00:20:10,604 --> 00:20:12,469
You're a mighty legend around here.
241
00:20:13,207 --> 00:20:14,231
This must be Laura?
242
00:20:14,408 --> 00:20:15,966
- No.
- That's Jessie.
243
00:20:17,344 --> 00:20:20,836
Jessie. By golly, last time I saw you,
you was in diapers.
244
00:20:21,014 --> 00:20:23,414
- Well, I was near 5.
- Yeah. And look at you now.
245
00:20:23,584 --> 00:20:25,381
Uncle Zeb. Uncle Zeb.
246
00:20:27,154 --> 00:20:31,818
Wait a minute. This can't be Laura.
She was just a gangly little filly.
247
00:20:32,326 --> 00:20:34,487
You tough old gal, heh.
248
00:20:34,661 --> 00:20:37,221
- Any prettier, she'd be dangerous.
- Oh, Uncle Zeb.
249
00:20:37,397 --> 00:20:39,661
Go fetch your grandparents.
Tell them Zeb is here.
250
00:20:39,833 --> 00:20:41,494
I stopped by. They're on their way.
251
00:20:41,668 --> 00:20:43,499
Boys, take care of your uncle's horses.
252
00:20:43,670 --> 00:20:46,400
You're in time for supper.
Come on in here and wash up...
253
00:20:46,573 --> 00:20:49,406
...and I want to hear all about
Oregon and all them places.
254
00:20:49,576 --> 00:20:51,203
- I'd love to tell you.
- Uncle Zeb...
255
00:20:51,378 --> 00:20:54,370
...is it true it's always
hot in California?
256
00:20:54,548 --> 00:20:56,311
Well, now, it sure is.
257
00:20:56,483 --> 00:21:00,442
You know one time out there, remember a fella
came down with a case of the chills...
258
00:21:00,621 --> 00:21:04,182
...well, people come from miles
around just to watch him shake.
259
00:21:07,294 --> 00:21:09,353
Come on in here.
I wanna hear all about it.
260
00:21:12,866 --> 00:21:17,166
Zeb, all this talk of gold in California,
anything to that?
261
00:21:17,337 --> 00:21:22,070
Yeah. Oh, sure is.
Folks been heading out there since '49.
262
00:21:22,242 --> 00:21:25,575
- Some of them strike it rich.
- I heard you struck it rich, Uncle Zeb.
263
00:21:27,047 --> 00:21:32,212
Well, I did all right for a while
and then it kind of all sifted away.
264
00:21:32,386 --> 00:21:34,411
A lot of temptations out there.
265
00:21:34,588 --> 00:21:36,522
What sort of temptation
you talking about, Zeb?
266
00:21:36,690 --> 00:21:39,818
Shh! Never mind about that.
There's children listening.
267
00:21:41,728 --> 00:21:44,993
Uncle Zeb, we've been hearing
about some Indian trouble out there.
268
00:21:45,165 --> 00:21:48,396
Yeah. They've been some
and there gonna be more.
269
00:21:48,568 --> 00:21:49,694
Why do you say that?
270
00:21:49,870 --> 00:21:53,306
Well, because the Army's moving troops
back east here because of the war.
271
00:21:55,776 --> 00:21:58,711
- Then what we been hearing is true.
- Yes.
272
00:21:58,879 --> 00:22:00,710
There's gonna be a fight, all right.
273
00:22:00,881 --> 00:22:05,011
Comes down to it, Zeb,
would you, uh, fight?
274
00:22:06,653 --> 00:22:08,052
Well, I don't know.
275
00:22:08,221 --> 00:22:11,281
I would have fought there at the Alamo
with Crockett and Bowie...
276
00:22:11,458 --> 00:22:14,086
...if I'd heard about it in time.
But that was different.
277
00:22:14,261 --> 00:22:16,695
That was Texans fighting Mexicans.
278
00:22:16,863 --> 00:22:19,991
Uh, here where you got Americans
fighting Americans...
279
00:22:20,167 --> 00:22:24,160
...you have to kill one of your own
over that, uh, slavery issue, I don't know.
280
00:22:26,606 --> 00:22:30,235
Ah, Missouri and Kansas feuding.
281
00:22:30,811 --> 00:22:34,577
Freestaters, abolitionists, secession.
282
00:22:34,748 --> 00:22:37,717
Now there's a word I never even heard of
till six months ago.
283
00:22:37,884 --> 00:22:40,978
I don't know.
I just don't understand any of it.
284
00:22:41,154 --> 00:22:44,453
Ones who do the fighting and the dying,
they usually don't.
285
00:22:44,624 --> 00:22:49,493
Well, I don't wanna hear any more about it.
All this talk of war.
286
00:22:49,830 --> 00:22:52,526
How can you talk about young men...
287
00:22:52,699 --> 00:22:55,725
...boys, going off to die
so casually over the dinner table.
288
00:22:55,902 --> 00:22:58,336
- I don't wanna hear any more about it.
- Sit down.
289
00:22:59,673 --> 00:23:03,200
War's not gonna go away
because we don't talk about it.
290
00:23:03,377 --> 00:23:04,969
War happens.
291
00:23:05,145 --> 00:23:08,740
It's gonna affect a lot of people
around here, including us.
292
00:23:09,182 --> 00:23:11,150
So we might as well face it.
293
00:23:16,089 --> 00:23:17,852
It's time for church.
294
00:23:18,325 --> 00:23:20,793
Zeb, I thought you had presents
for these folks.
295
00:23:21,328 --> 00:23:25,924
He gave me a Cheyenne peace pipe
and Grandma a necklace out of bear teeth...
296
00:23:26,099 --> 00:23:28,567
...except, heh, she's kind of scared
to wear it.
297
00:23:30,137 --> 00:23:31,866
- Oh, Grandma.
- Presents?
298
00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:33,734
- Honest, Uncle Zeb?
- Well, uh...
299
00:23:33,907 --> 00:23:36,341
I don't wanna hold you up
from your church meeting.
300
00:23:39,312 --> 00:23:42,543
We could be a little late. This one time.
301
00:23:44,017 --> 00:23:47,612
- Oh, isn't it lovely.
- That's real nice.
302
00:23:47,788 --> 00:23:50,552
You know, the squaw ladies chew on that
to make it soft.
303
00:23:50,724 --> 00:23:51,748
Ew!
304
00:23:55,162 --> 00:23:57,756
- Thanks, Uncle Zeb.
- Sure.
305
00:23:57,931 --> 00:24:00,229
Laura, that's for you.
I'll tell you what that is.
306
00:24:01,001 --> 00:24:05,597
That's a porcupine tail. The Shoshone girls
make those into hairbrushes...
307
00:24:05,772 --> 00:24:09,230
...and they scent them up with some kind
of ointment. Draws the bucks.
308
00:24:10,610 --> 00:24:13,545
- Thank you, Uncle Zeb, it's beautiful.
- Sure.
309
00:24:13,713 --> 00:24:16,841
Jed, that's for you.
That's called a Green River.
310
00:24:17,017 --> 00:24:20,748
Used to belong to a man named
Hard Luck Hays. Killed a cougar with that.
311
00:24:21,354 --> 00:24:23,652
What happened to him?
Hard Luck, I mean?
312
00:24:23,824 --> 00:24:26,816
Yeah, well, unfortunately,
the cougar killed him too.
313
00:24:28,195 --> 00:24:30,026
- That's yours now.
- Thanks.
314
00:24:30,197 --> 00:24:32,757
Now, let's see here.
315
00:24:33,133 --> 00:24:37,570
- Seth, that's yours.
- This has always been your gun.
316
00:24:37,737 --> 00:24:40,729
Well, I know, but, uh, remembered
you always liked it...
317
00:24:40,907 --> 00:24:44,001
...and I been, uh, carrying a new Army Colt
the past few months...
318
00:24:44,177 --> 00:24:47,806
...so I'm gonna give this to you.
- Well, thanks, Uncle Zeb.
319
00:24:57,424 --> 00:24:59,915
We were just talking
about Uncle Zeb, Mama.
320
00:25:00,093 --> 00:25:04,996
Your Uncle Zeb will be here
in the morning, girls. Now go to sleep.
321
00:25:10,403 --> 00:25:12,064
Timothy?
322
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,141
What's Zeb doing out there?
I fixed a place for him downstairs.
323
00:25:26,219 --> 00:25:29,950
I reckon sleeping under a roof
closes him in.
324
00:25:31,691 --> 00:25:33,659
You really envy him.
325
00:25:34,194 --> 00:25:36,094
Free to go wherever
the spirit moves him.
326
00:25:38,698 --> 00:25:42,532
Oh, there's no use denying a part of me
envies him, Kate.
327
00:25:43,370 --> 00:25:48,137
But nothing in this life is free.
328
00:25:49,776 --> 00:25:53,473
You want something bad enough
you gotta give up something to get it.
329
00:25:53,647 --> 00:25:55,615
A man marries and has a family...
330
00:25:57,083 --> 00:25:59,017
...he's gotta pay the price.
331
00:26:01,555 --> 00:26:05,321
Freedom? Like Zeb's got.
332
00:26:05,492 --> 00:26:11,761
I don't think either one of us would change
a thing if we had it to do all over again.
333
00:26:12,365 --> 00:26:15,027
But if it wasn't for us,
you'd do like Zeb, wouldn't you?
334
00:26:15,202 --> 00:26:19,070
- Ah, well...
- Well, wouldn't you?
335
00:26:19,873 --> 00:26:22,364
I got a family, Kate.
336
00:26:22,542 --> 00:26:25,067
But men with families do go West,
don't they?
337
00:26:28,248 --> 00:26:30,614
- Yeah, sure, but...
- Then why can't we?
338
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,655
You saying we should leave here
and head West?
339
00:26:37,757 --> 00:26:38,815
That's what I'm saying.
340
00:26:40,427 --> 00:26:42,918
Kate, you love this place here.
341
00:26:43,096 --> 00:26:47,590
- It'd mean starting all over again.
- Well, your family did it.
342
00:26:48,201 --> 00:26:50,066
So did mine.
343
00:26:51,838 --> 00:26:57,640
Besides, living with a man with your
sort of itch can change a woman's mind.
344
00:26:58,178 --> 00:27:00,646
I knew I'd have to, sooner or later.
345
00:27:01,114 --> 00:27:05,710
Especially today,
watching your face while Zeb was talking.
346
00:27:06,052 --> 00:27:08,384
The way you been reading his letters
over and over.
347
00:27:11,391 --> 00:27:14,019
You've lived up to what any man could.
348
00:27:14,661 --> 00:27:17,425
You've given me over 20 good years.
349
00:27:19,165 --> 00:27:20,632
Now it's my turn to give back.
350
00:27:22,302 --> 00:27:23,929
Kate, there's more to it than that.
351
00:27:27,274 --> 00:27:29,265
Well, this war.
352
00:27:29,943 --> 00:27:32,673
It's gone past rumors now.
353
00:27:33,847 --> 00:27:37,044
Henry Jethro walking by today
wearing a uniform...
354
00:27:37,217 --> 00:27:40,311
...ready to kill or die.
355
00:27:40,987 --> 00:27:44,184
Any man able to hold a rifle
will be forced to fight.
356
00:27:44,357 --> 00:27:47,224
I'm not gonna lose any of you
in a war we have no stake in.
357
00:27:47,927 --> 00:27:52,990
Even if it means pulling up and leaving.
Timothy, it's what you've always wanted.
358
00:27:53,533 --> 00:27:55,865
Now it's what I want too.
359
00:28:03,109 --> 00:28:04,667
It's the middle of the night.
360
00:28:04,844 --> 00:28:08,371
You think I can go to sleep after
what you just said? I gotta talk to Zeb.
361
00:28:08,548 --> 00:28:11,574
You'll find the jug
on the top shelf of the cupboard.
362
00:28:11,751 --> 00:28:15,619
- What's it doing there?
- Boys are growing.
363
00:28:15,789 --> 00:28:19,122
No sense leaving temptation lying about.
364
00:28:32,138 --> 00:28:36,268
Well, don't just stand there with one
foot in the air, brother, come on in, heh.
365
00:28:37,944 --> 00:28:40,139
I was just testing you.
366
00:28:40,513 --> 00:28:44,472
Like being among civilized folks
hasn't cost you your touch.
367
00:28:44,951 --> 00:28:48,114
Well, I guess a man gets used to
sleeping with one ear open.
368
00:28:48,288 --> 00:28:51,883
It's kind of a hard habit to break, heh.
369
00:28:53,693 --> 00:28:56,161
Glad you came out, Tim.
370
00:28:56,329 --> 00:28:59,526
Been a long time
since you and me sat around the fire...
371
00:28:59,699 --> 00:29:02,532
...talking women and horses.
372
00:29:03,737 --> 00:29:05,568
How long you staying?
373
00:29:08,775 --> 00:29:12,609
Well, at least a ways long enough
for you to get off what's on your mind.
374
00:29:14,581 --> 00:29:15,912
Zeb, tell me something.
375
00:29:17,217 --> 00:29:19,879
How much would it cost
to outfit a family traveling West?
376
00:29:22,155 --> 00:29:25,784
- How far West you talking about?
- California, Oregon.
377
00:29:25,959 --> 00:29:28,655
Places you've been writing about
in your letters.
378
00:29:29,062 --> 00:29:31,326
Tim, you ain't thinking
about leaving this place.
379
00:29:31,498 --> 00:29:32,965
Just tell me.
380
00:29:35,034 --> 00:29:39,027
I don't know.
I reckon a family your size be 7-, $800.
381
00:29:39,205 --> 00:29:42,936
Not only that, it's, uh...
Well, it it's too late for westering.
382
00:29:43,109 --> 00:29:46,203
- Why?
- Well, it's end April.
383
00:29:46,379 --> 00:29:49,109
Now, if you was to leave here tomorrow...
384
00:29:49,282 --> 00:29:52,080
...you couldn't get to
Missouri till June...
385
00:29:52,252 --> 00:29:54,652
...and the last wagon train
leaves St. Joe mid May.
386
00:29:54,821 --> 00:29:56,049
May? Why so early?
387
00:29:56,489 --> 00:29:59,856
Well, they leave as soon as the grass
is tall enough to feed the stock...
388
00:30:00,026 --> 00:30:03,086
...and the ground's dry enough
so as to won't bog down the wagons.
389
00:30:03,263 --> 00:30:06,323
Then at the other end, you gotta
get through the mountain passes...
390
00:30:06,499 --> 00:30:08,592
...before mid October
or they close with snow.
391
00:30:08,768 --> 00:30:11,168
If that happens,
you gotta winter where you're at.
392
00:30:11,337 --> 00:30:13,828
Start again next spring.
393
00:30:15,975 --> 00:30:18,205
We could do all that with you.
394
00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:22,806
- You got the fever bad.
- Yeah.
395
00:30:22,982 --> 00:30:26,941
Had it a long time. You ought to know
that better than anybody.
396
00:30:28,488 --> 00:30:31,582
I only stayed on here
because I promised Kate roots.
397
00:30:32,725 --> 00:30:37,094
Women. Oh, they won't open that door an
inch for fear the man is off and running.
398
00:30:37,263 --> 00:30:40,426
Hold on, Zeb.
She didn't force me into anything.
399
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:46,732
Oh, I ain't singling Kate out, Tim.
It's, well, women general.
400
00:30:47,740 --> 00:30:51,767
She may have felt that at one time,
but she wants to head West too.
401
00:30:52,612 --> 00:30:54,842
- She does?
- Yeah, she just told me so.
402
00:30:57,050 --> 00:31:01,009
When a woman changes her mind that fast,
there gotta be a reason.
403
00:31:01,187 --> 00:31:03,781
Well, you saw how she acted at supper.
404
00:31:04,624 --> 00:31:06,990
It's the war, Zeb.
405
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,890
She's afraid of the boys
getting caught in it.
406
00:31:11,531 --> 00:31:16,025
Tim, lot of men would give everything they
got to have a place like you have here.
407
00:31:17,704 --> 00:31:19,569
Not you.
408
00:31:21,107 --> 00:31:23,735
Tim, listen to me.
409
00:31:23,910 --> 00:31:26,378
There's nobody in his right mind
who would take off...
410
00:31:26,546 --> 00:31:30,073
...across that country in a single wagon.
Not unless he was drove to it.
411
00:31:30,250 --> 00:31:34,619
There's 200,000 square miles
of nothing but wasteland out there.
412
00:31:34,787 --> 00:31:37,688
And every mile there's a grave
of somebody who didn't make it.
413
00:31:38,591 --> 00:31:40,024
You saying you won't take us?
414
00:31:43,596 --> 00:31:48,898
No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying
it's too late now. Too many risks.
415
00:31:50,370 --> 00:31:52,497
Come next year. I'll take you West.
416
00:31:54,107 --> 00:31:56,632
Next year is too late, Zeb.
417
00:31:56,809 --> 00:31:59,403
This war is touching us right now.
418
00:32:00,413 --> 00:32:03,507
You either guide us or we're going alone.
419
00:32:04,751 --> 00:32:05,775
But we're going.
420
00:32:27,140 --> 00:32:30,541
Now wait a minute. Just hold on there.
421
00:32:30,710 --> 00:32:32,405
Kate, we're overloaded as it is.
422
00:32:32,579 --> 00:32:38,279
Zeb Macahan, you've already made us
leave behind everything that it takes...
423
00:32:38,451 --> 00:32:42,080
...to live like a decent civilized
human being. Everything.
424
00:32:42,255 --> 00:32:45,418
You gotta have an organ to live civilized?
425
00:32:45,592 --> 00:32:49,084
My children are not going to grow up
without music.
426
00:32:49,729 --> 00:32:53,529
They're liable not to grow up at all if you
keep putting stuff in this here wagon.
427
00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:56,999
Now, we only got a fifty-fifty chance
of making it as it is.
428
00:32:57,170 --> 00:33:00,697
If you overload the wagon, it's liable
to be too much for those animals.
429
00:33:00,873 --> 00:33:03,569
And if we lose them,
we got no chance at all.
430
00:33:03,743 --> 00:33:06,473
Well, this clock belonged
to my grandmother.
431
00:33:06,646 --> 00:33:09,479
And she brought it from Ireland
and she gave it to me.
432
00:33:09,649 --> 00:33:12,174
I'm not leaving it behind.
433
00:33:12,352 --> 00:33:13,910
Means an aawul lot to her, Zeb.
434
00:33:14,621 --> 00:33:17,055
Won't make that much difference, will it?
435
00:33:17,790 --> 00:33:22,090
Kate, I'm gonna tell you bring so much
as one more feather out of that house...
436
00:33:22,261 --> 00:33:26,459
...I'm getting on my horse
and I'm gonna ride alone.
437
00:33:27,533 --> 00:33:31,230
Your brother is the most arrogant,
stubborn man I've ever met.
438
00:33:31,404 --> 00:33:34,601
Now, Kate, take it easy. Take it easy.
439
00:33:34,774 --> 00:33:37,106
He knows what he's doing, you know.
440
00:33:39,212 --> 00:33:43,774
Well, one thing's for sure.
Going is not gonna be dull.
441
00:33:47,420 --> 00:33:49,081
Now, you be good.
442
00:33:50,456 --> 00:33:53,050
You be a good girl
and help your momma now.
443
00:33:53,226 --> 00:33:55,956
Girls, would you get in the wagon,
please?
444
00:33:56,129 --> 00:33:59,462
Jessie. Laura.
445
00:34:04,971 --> 00:34:07,030
Kate. Kate.
446
00:34:10,643 --> 00:34:13,612
- Grandpa.
- Kate, darling.
447
00:34:14,781 --> 00:34:18,080
- Are you sure?
- Now, dear, we've been through all that.
448
00:34:18,251 --> 00:34:19,513
We're just staying put.
449
00:34:19,686 --> 00:34:23,122
We been here so long,
we got roots down.
450
00:34:23,289 --> 00:34:26,986
Maybe we'll get a little peace
and quiet now, Mother?
451
00:34:31,164 --> 00:34:33,223
- Grandma.
- Kate.
452
00:34:56,923 --> 00:34:59,391
You might as well start heading out.
I'll catch up.
453
00:34:59,559 --> 00:35:02,926
- Get going, Kate.
- Come on, Sam, Duke.
454
00:35:03,096 --> 00:35:05,564
Now, you take care of them, you hear?
455
00:35:05,732 --> 00:35:08,963
They're farm folks
and that's your country out there.
456
00:35:09,135 --> 00:35:13,265
But you're not all so much, you don't need
to be told to look after your own self too.
457
00:35:13,439 --> 00:35:15,339
Heh, and your pa's right.
458
00:35:15,808 --> 00:35:20,108
It's a long trip
so we'll be praying for you.
459
00:35:28,321 --> 00:35:30,448
Take care of yourselves.
460
00:35:30,623 --> 00:35:32,143
- Hmm.
- Don't you worry none about us.
461
00:35:32,225 --> 00:35:35,626
The Yankees got no reason
to mess with old folks.
462
00:35:36,796 --> 00:35:42,166
Pa, don't you try running this farm
like you was no colt now.
463
00:35:42,335 --> 00:35:43,529
Keep a rein on him, Ma.
464
00:36:32,251 --> 00:36:34,845
For the pioneers of the early 1860s...
465
00:36:35,021 --> 00:36:38,184
...before the railroad
stitched a continent together...
466
00:36:38,357 --> 00:36:42,691
...the journey west was not only arduous,
but dismally slow.
467
00:36:42,862 --> 00:36:44,193
Lumbering Conestogas...
468
00:36:44,363 --> 00:36:49,960
...drawn by teams of great, placid oxen
weighing up to 4000 pounds per yoke...
469
00:36:50,136 --> 00:36:53,628
...could rarely move
faster than 15 miles a day.
470
00:36:53,806 --> 00:36:58,971
Thus, even the relatively easy journey
through the Virginias, Ohio, Indiana...
471
00:36:59,145 --> 00:37:02,205
...and Illinois, took upwards of six weeks.
472
00:37:02,381 --> 00:37:04,815
But once beyond
the bustling gateway towns...
473
00:37:04,984 --> 00:37:07,418
...of Independence
and St. Joseph, Missouri...
474
00:37:07,587 --> 00:37:10,954
...travelers found themselves
in the new territory of Kansas...
475
00:37:11,123 --> 00:37:14,991
...facing the first awesome
sweep of the Great Plains.
476
00:37:15,161 --> 00:37:19,621
The edge of a wilderness.
The beginning of the Oregon Trail.
477
00:38:09,715 --> 00:38:11,740
Oh, my God.
478
00:38:12,752 --> 00:38:14,583
They never learn.
479
00:38:14,754 --> 00:38:18,588
- Bringing along all that junk.
- Junk?
480
00:38:18,758 --> 00:38:20,726
Look at that mirror.
481
00:38:20,893 --> 00:38:23,327
- Imagine what that poor woman felt.
- Woman?
482
00:38:26,198 --> 00:38:28,666
You see what's left of that horse?
483
00:38:29,268 --> 00:38:33,261
Died in his traces because
some woman had to drag her past along.
484
00:38:37,543 --> 00:38:39,033
Let's go.
485
00:38:39,211 --> 00:38:41,202
Hyah! Hyah!
486
00:38:51,490 --> 00:38:53,856
It's getting worse. We gotta go in.
487
00:38:54,460 --> 00:38:56,428
Cut them in here.
488
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,425
What do we do with the horses?
489
00:39:03,602 --> 00:39:07,060
Just unsaddle them and turn them
loose. They're not going anywhere.
490
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,733
Then get inside the wagon, all of you.
I'll take care of the team.
491
00:39:34,867 --> 00:39:35,891
Any luck?
492
00:39:36,068 --> 00:39:41,005
Well, I found some sign but too late
to do any tracking today, anyway.
493
00:39:42,008 --> 00:39:46,206
Ugh, I can't stand it anymore!
I've never seen so much dirt!
494
00:39:46,379 --> 00:39:48,210
It's in my eyes, it's in my mouth. It's...
495
00:39:49,582 --> 00:39:50,742
My hair's full of bugs!
496
00:39:52,051 --> 00:39:55,043
All right, just calm down.
We're gonna be out of this country.
497
00:39:55,221 --> 00:39:58,190
That's what everybody keeps saying!
But we keep going on and on.
498
00:39:58,357 --> 00:40:01,656
Nothing changes! We can't bathe
because we gotta save the water.
499
00:40:01,827 --> 00:40:04,660
We keep eating the same thing
day after day.
500
00:40:04,830 --> 00:40:07,390
The game is scarce out here.
You've been told that.
501
00:40:07,566 --> 00:40:09,659
Well, I can't stand it anymore! I can't!
502
00:40:10,469 --> 00:40:13,529
You're gonna have to. Now we're all
going through the same thing.
503
00:40:13,706 --> 00:40:16,174
You don't hear anyone else
complaining about the food.
504
00:40:16,342 --> 00:40:18,333
If you'd short your hair like I told you...
505
00:40:18,511 --> 00:40:21,139
...and if you wore your sunbonnet
like I told you, Laura!
506
00:40:21,580 --> 00:40:23,241
Laura.
507
00:40:23,416 --> 00:40:24,940
Laura?
508
00:40:47,039 --> 00:40:49,599
Well, I thought you would be asleep.
509
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,041
I've never raised my voice to that girl
before in her life.
510
00:40:59,718 --> 00:41:01,982
Well, maybe it's time you did.
511
00:41:04,423 --> 00:41:06,220
We've spoiled her, Kate.
512
00:41:06,392 --> 00:41:09,520
Now, you know that's true yourself.
513
00:41:13,165 --> 00:41:15,258
Of course it was.
514
00:41:15,835 --> 00:41:17,928
It's pretty hard not to.
515
00:41:19,839 --> 00:41:23,707
Minute she was born,
I knew we had a beauty on our hands.
516
00:41:24,243 --> 00:41:26,268
Now, they're trouble.
517
00:41:27,646 --> 00:41:33,551
You see, I've had some experience
when it comes to dealing with beauties.
518
00:41:41,393 --> 00:41:43,384
Sorry you came?
519
00:41:46,265 --> 00:41:48,290
I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
520
00:42:00,646 --> 00:42:04,480
- Where is everybody?
- Your Uncle Zeb and Seth went hunting.
521
00:42:04,650 --> 00:42:08,211
Your father's out looking for some
firewood. He could use some help.
522
00:42:12,424 --> 00:42:16,588
Don't worry. It'll all grow back
when we get to Oregon.
523
00:42:49,495 --> 00:42:53,158
He's all yours, boy. I'll flush him.
524
00:43:19,458 --> 00:43:20,982
Good shot, boy.
525
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,593
Where'd you shoot him from?
526
00:43:22,761 --> 00:43:25,252
Yeah, right in there.
In that opening in the trees.
527
00:43:25,431 --> 00:43:27,991
Fair distance.
Especially for a running buck, heh.
528
00:43:28,167 --> 00:43:29,896
Supper's on.
529
00:43:32,871 --> 00:43:34,304
They look like Ponca.
530
00:43:35,975 --> 00:43:39,274
They must be having trouble
finding game too.
531
00:43:39,445 --> 00:43:41,436
We'll let them take it.
532
00:43:41,614 --> 00:43:44,276
But we need the meat.
533
00:43:44,450 --> 00:43:47,442
If they got it,
maybe they'll leave us alone.
534
00:43:49,221 --> 00:43:51,655
Let's just back off slow.
535
00:43:59,632 --> 00:44:00,724
The wagon.
536
00:44:33,165 --> 00:44:36,532
Oh, they started a fire inside the wagon.
537
00:44:36,702 --> 00:44:39,967
When we went to put it out,
they stole the horses.
538
00:44:40,139 --> 00:44:41,902
Well, what do we do? Go after them?
539
00:44:42,074 --> 00:44:45,202
There's no need.
They'll be coming at us.
540
00:45:12,137 --> 00:45:16,801
All right now, nobody move. Let me talk.
Keep your gun barrels pointed down.
541
00:45:31,590 --> 00:45:34,889
A man has to be buffalo-witted
to walk in this country.
542
00:45:44,870 --> 00:45:46,838
Now he's getting down to business.
543
00:45:47,005 --> 00:45:49,405
Says they got some fine horses
to trade us.
544
00:45:49,575 --> 00:45:50,974
Trade? For our own horses?
545
00:45:51,944 --> 00:45:56,438
Tim, we're gonna have to buy those horses
back. Might as well get used to the idea.
546
00:46:02,955 --> 00:46:07,119
Jed, get some flour,
bacon and hardtack from the wagon.
547
00:46:12,030 --> 00:46:14,123
What will happen
if we don't give it to them?
548
00:46:14,299 --> 00:46:17,063
Then it'll be down to
we kill them or they kill us.
549
00:46:43,328 --> 00:46:44,852
Kate.
550
00:46:57,309 --> 00:46:59,004
He fancies it.
551
00:47:00,212 --> 00:47:02,578
He's not gonna have it. Damn taker.
552
00:47:03,148 --> 00:47:04,172
Easy.
553
00:47:16,328 --> 00:47:19,422
He says that for the food and that clock,
he'll give us the horses.
554
00:47:19,598 --> 00:47:21,657
I'm not gonna give him anything.
555
00:47:21,834 --> 00:47:24,132
- Not for the horses that are already ours.
- Kate.
556
00:47:24,303 --> 00:47:26,897
Will they take my rifle instead?
557
00:47:27,072 --> 00:47:30,803
I don't know. A man's rifle means life
or death. They're not out to see you die.
558
00:47:30,976 --> 00:47:33,035
- Yeah, but will they?
- Seth.
559
00:47:33,212 --> 00:47:36,147
Ma, I can always get another rifle.
560
00:47:48,660 --> 00:47:52,687
Take it. And get away from here. Leave!
561
00:48:03,775 --> 00:48:05,242
All right, get the horses, boys.
562
00:48:16,321 --> 00:48:20,621
Uncle Zeb, how do you know
they won't be back?
563
00:48:20,792 --> 00:48:24,250
- Well, they got too much honor for that.
- Honor?
564
00:48:24,429 --> 00:48:28,923
They're not thieves,
they're just trying to survive.
565
00:48:40,379 --> 00:48:41,869
How's Kate?
566
00:48:54,126 --> 00:48:57,391
Kate, we're getting set to pull out.
567
00:48:58,063 --> 00:48:59,826
I wanna go back.
568
00:49:01,700 --> 00:49:03,793
Your letters painted quite a dream, Zeb.
569
00:49:05,337 --> 00:49:07,032
Gold.
570
00:49:07,739 --> 00:49:10,264
Land free for the taking, heh.
571
00:49:11,877 --> 00:49:15,244
No preacher's been able to
stir this family up more.
572
00:49:15,414 --> 00:49:16,745
Well, it was lies, all of it.
573
00:49:17,182 --> 00:49:20,515
No lies to it, Kate. The land's there.
574
00:49:20,686 --> 00:49:22,881
Good land and plenty of it.
575
00:49:23,055 --> 00:49:26,320
It's 1000 miles west of here.
Takes a little doing to get to it.
576
00:49:26,491 --> 00:49:29,187
And those Indians?
You could've got us all killed.
577
00:49:29,361 --> 00:49:32,558
I told you there was Indians out here.
We take our chances.
578
00:49:33,231 --> 00:49:35,791
I wanna go home.
I'd rather take my chances there.
579
00:49:37,302 --> 00:49:40,601
This is what Tim's wanted all along
and never letting on.
580
00:49:41,373 --> 00:49:42,704
You built him a trap, lady.
581
00:49:43,175 --> 00:49:45,075
Now he's free of it, chasing his dream...
582
00:49:45,243 --> 00:49:48,804
...and you wanna turn him back
just because the goings got a little tough.
583
00:49:49,281 --> 00:49:53,149
Well, I reckon that's his fault
making things too easy for you.
584
00:49:54,219 --> 00:49:56,449
Doesn't work on me, Zeb.
585
00:49:57,022 --> 00:49:59,047
I know where you've been.
586
00:49:59,224 --> 00:50:02,523
It's a woman's duty to be silent.
I'm not that kind of woman.
587
00:50:02,694 --> 00:50:04,218
Never took that you were.
588
00:50:04,396 --> 00:50:07,888
But for once why don't you quit thinking
about yourself and think about him.
589
00:50:08,066 --> 00:50:09,795
And what about your boys?
590
00:50:09,968 --> 00:50:13,267
You forget what you were running from
in the first place?
591
00:50:13,438 --> 00:50:15,770
There's nothing back there anymore,
Kate.
592
00:50:15,941 --> 00:50:20,002
Not for you. Not for Tim.
Not for your sons.
593
00:50:20,812 --> 00:50:22,677
Zeb Macahan...
594
00:50:23,715 --> 00:50:26,115
...if I weren't a religious woman...
595
00:50:26,818 --> 00:50:28,809
...I'd call you a...
596
00:51:29,314 --> 00:51:31,680
Major Anderson, out of Fort Randall.
597
00:51:31,850 --> 00:51:33,977
Zeb Macahan, major. This here's my kin.
598
00:51:34,152 --> 00:51:37,588
Zeb Macahan? Weren't you scouting
for Colonel Hyatt at Fort Laramie?
599
00:51:38,156 --> 00:51:39,885
What are you doing this far east?
600
00:51:40,058 --> 00:51:42,219
Well, I was about to ask you
the same thing.
601
00:51:42,394 --> 00:51:44,760
We were ordered back
to join General McDowell.
602
00:51:44,930 --> 00:51:47,262
War's broke, full force.
603
00:51:47,432 --> 00:51:49,024
- Where you coming from?
- Virginia.
604
00:51:49,801 --> 00:51:51,530
Well, I reckon you left just in time.
605
00:51:51,703 --> 00:51:53,034
Why do you say that, major?
606
00:51:53,972 --> 00:51:56,668
Union forces have crossed
through Maryland into Virginia.
607
00:51:56,842 --> 00:51:59,208
General McDowell's at Manassas
with 30,000 men.
608
00:51:59,711 --> 00:52:03,238
General Beauregard with 20,000
coming up from the south.
609
00:52:03,415 --> 00:52:04,609
Bull Run in the middle.
610
00:52:05,383 --> 00:52:07,146
Bull Run?
611
00:52:07,919 --> 00:52:10,786
It's where we come from,
we got family back there.
612
00:52:12,324 --> 00:52:15,316
I'm sorry to hear that.
Well, good luck to you.
613
00:52:16,561 --> 00:52:19,689
- Macahan.
- So long, major.
614
00:52:37,249 --> 00:52:39,080
You going back.
615
00:52:40,152 --> 00:52:43,451
Laura, fetch me a sack full of hardtack
and dried beef.
616
00:52:43,622 --> 00:52:46,056
- But, Pa...
- Go on now, girl, fetch it.
617
00:52:47,659 --> 00:52:48,717
- Jed.
- Yes, sir.
618
00:52:48,894 --> 00:52:51,055
Fetch me some ammunition.
619
00:52:52,063 --> 00:52:54,964
Tim, I'll be the one going back,
you stay here with the family.
620
00:52:55,133 --> 00:52:58,432
This is hard country, Zeb.
You can buck it.
621
00:52:58,603 --> 00:53:01,231
Comes to that,
they'll be needing you more than me.
622
00:53:01,406 --> 00:53:03,874
Long way to go
if you expect to beat the rebel troops.
623
00:53:04,042 --> 00:53:05,907
I reckon I can make it in three weeks.
624
00:53:06,077 --> 00:53:08,307
Seven hundred miles, Tim, to Bull Run.
625
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,846
I'm going, Zeb.
626
00:53:13,285 --> 00:53:16,015
What about the folks?
What if they still won't leave?
627
00:53:16,188 --> 00:53:20,818
- Figure that when I get to it.
- Pa, good luck.
628
00:53:20,992 --> 00:53:23,324
Zeb said he'd go back.
And you have a family here.
629
00:53:23,495 --> 00:53:27,056
What happens to the children if you don't
ever come back? Please, let Zeb go.
630
00:53:27,232 --> 00:53:31,100
It's you I'm thinking of. You stand a better
chance out here with Zeb than with me.
631
00:53:31,269 --> 00:53:33,328
- Timothy.
- Now, Kate, listen to me.
632
00:53:35,140 --> 00:53:37,608
Kate, out here I'm a tenderfoot.
633
00:53:38,510 --> 00:53:41,308
Zeb can find game and water.
634
00:53:41,847 --> 00:53:43,474
He can read when a storm's brewing.
635
00:53:43,648 --> 00:53:46,208
He knows the Indians.
I don't know any of that.
636
00:53:46,384 --> 00:53:49,581
Out here all alone
I could get all of us killed.
637
00:53:49,754 --> 00:53:52,723
Now Zeb's the one that's got to stay.
638
00:53:53,258 --> 00:53:55,658
You can understand that, can't you?
639
00:54:00,365 --> 00:54:02,196
Here, Pa.
640
00:54:02,968 --> 00:54:06,233
Ah, hold open your apron.
641
00:54:07,172 --> 00:54:10,608
- Pa, that's not near enough.
- It's all right, I'll make out.
642
00:54:11,243 --> 00:54:13,768
Take care of them, Zeb.
I'll find you wherever you are.
643
00:54:13,945 --> 00:54:15,708
Well, we'll be here.
644
00:54:15,881 --> 00:54:18,008
We're not gonna go on another foot
without you.
645
00:54:18,183 --> 00:54:20,276
Next spring we'll go on to
Oregon together.
646
00:54:20,452 --> 00:54:21,976
Kate, you can't stay here.
647
00:54:22,787 --> 00:54:24,152
He's right, Kate.
648
00:54:24,322 --> 00:54:26,790
We can't stay out here for the winter.
649
00:54:26,958 --> 00:54:29,392
Tim, I figure we're about 10 days
from the Platte.
650
00:54:29,561 --> 00:54:32,553
Now we'll go on there and wait for you.
There's a town there.
651
00:54:32,731 --> 00:54:36,428
There's supposed to be a telegraph
coming in. We'll leave word.
652
00:54:37,569 --> 00:54:39,298
They'll be all right.
653
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,332
We'll be waiting for you, Pa.
654
00:56:22,474 --> 00:56:23,805
People, heh.
655
00:56:25,777 --> 00:56:31,272
Well, we'll tend to the supplies, Zeb.
Come on, girls.
656
00:56:41,626 --> 00:56:45,619
- I reckon a beer would go good.
- Yeah.
657
00:56:47,132 --> 00:56:48,861
Jed, uh...
658
00:56:50,902 --> 00:56:53,132
...I'm afraid your ma would have
my scalp, son.
659
00:56:53,304 --> 00:56:55,898
- Ah.
- Maybe next time.
660
00:57:05,350 --> 00:57:07,944
Well, howdy, pilgrims.
What can we do for you?
661
00:57:08,119 --> 00:57:09,916
Couple of beers.
662
00:57:10,655 --> 00:57:15,092
We're used to wagon trains coming
through, but folks traveling alone?
663
00:57:15,260 --> 00:57:16,921
- Where you coming from?
- Virginia.
664
00:57:18,596 --> 00:57:21,497
Well, you must have
the Lord on your side.
665
00:57:22,467 --> 00:57:24,367
- Where you headed?
- Oregon.
666
00:57:24,536 --> 00:57:27,505
Oh, you'll never make it
before the snow flies.
667
00:57:28,373 --> 00:57:30,603
- Ah.
- We figured to winter here.
668
00:57:31,242 --> 00:57:32,368
It's tough country.
669
00:57:33,244 --> 00:57:35,508
Heh, couldn't be much tougher
than we just came through.
670
00:57:36,981 --> 00:57:39,449
Well, the hell is a session.
671
00:57:39,617 --> 00:57:41,710
This here's the Platte,
gateway to the West.
672
00:57:41,886 --> 00:57:45,344
Summers are hotter than Hades,
winters colder than a landlord's heart.
673
00:57:46,391 --> 00:57:48,723
Wolves are hungry
and the Indians are hostile.
674
00:57:48,893 --> 00:57:50,861
The outlaws and renegades
own the deed.
675
00:57:52,730 --> 00:57:55,130
Welcome, gentlemen, welcome.
676
00:57:55,300 --> 00:57:57,427
I'm afraid he's called it.
677
00:58:20,225 --> 00:58:22,716
NARRATOR;
In a single day of fighting, Bull Run...
678
00:58:22,894 --> 00:58:28,059
...the first real conflict of the
Civil War, saw 3000 casualties.
679
00:58:28,233 --> 00:58:32,499
Compared to the horrendous death tolls
of later battles like Gettysburg...
680
00:58:32,670 --> 00:58:34,934
...Bull Run was almost a skirmish.
681
00:58:35,106 --> 00:58:40,100
But in this battle, Rebel and Union forces
alike tested the mettle of their enemy...
682
00:58:40,645 --> 00:58:44,172
...and knew for the first time
that victory would not be cheap.
683
00:58:47,552 --> 00:58:49,179
Help that boy.
684
00:58:53,191 --> 00:58:56,024
Put his head in my lap. Oh, God.
685
00:58:56,194 --> 00:58:58,628
Oh, he's no older than Seth, Pa.
686
00:59:45,543 --> 00:59:48,944
Well, at leastwise it will keep
the wind from the north off of us.
687
00:59:49,847 --> 00:59:52,179
Zeb, what are you talking about?
688
00:59:52,884 --> 00:59:54,943
You mean staying here?
689
00:59:55,553 --> 00:59:57,521
In that shack?
690
00:59:57,689 --> 00:59:59,452
Called a soddie.
691
01:00:00,158 --> 01:00:02,023
Not much, but it'll do.
692
01:00:02,193 --> 01:00:04,457
Uncle Zeb. You mean live in it?
693
01:00:05,463 --> 01:00:08,728
Well, somebody did once.
694
01:00:09,567 --> 01:00:10,727
But it's just dirt.
695
01:00:12,203 --> 01:00:15,468
You'll be surprised how cozy it'll be
once we get it fixed up.
696
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,507
There's water over there
at the base of those buttes.
697
01:00:19,844 --> 01:00:23,439
- Appears there's been critters living inside.
- Yeah, hold on, honey.
698
01:00:23,615 --> 01:00:26,982
No telling what other kind of critters
might be in there, Jessie.
699
01:00:42,367 --> 01:00:44,062
Maybe we'll have him for supper.
700
01:01:02,754 --> 01:01:06,884
The ingenuity of
the American pioneer was legendary.
701
01:01:07,058 --> 01:01:09,891
When nature failed
to provide his customary needs...
702
01:01:10,061 --> 01:01:12,757
...he found a way to change those needs.
703
01:01:12,930 --> 01:01:17,526
Denied the luxury of brick or lumber,
he built his home of logs.
704
01:01:17,702 --> 01:01:21,069
And on the treeless plains
where wood was almost nonexistent...
705
01:01:21,239 --> 01:01:26,575
...he turned to tough buffalo grass and mud,
and raised with these crude materials...
706
01:01:26,744 --> 01:01:30,145
...a structure that was cool in summer,
warm in winter...
707
01:01:30,315 --> 01:01:34,979
...and could be expanded
with minimum effort as his family grew.
708
01:01:35,153 --> 01:01:38,179
All the soddie required
was the one commodity...
709
01:01:38,356 --> 01:01:42,486
...the American pioneer had in abundance,
boundless energy.
710
01:01:42,660 --> 01:01:47,359
And for settlers whose day began
before dawn and ended long after dark...
711
01:01:47,532 --> 01:01:52,868
...the soddie could be raised from
the empty prairie in a matter of days.
712
01:02:54,432 --> 01:02:56,900
- Watch... Zeb, watch that end.
- Jed, would you...?
713
01:02:57,068 --> 01:02:58,933
Jed, use both hands.
714
01:02:59,103 --> 01:03:01,094
Now don't scratch it.
Seth, watch your side.
715
01:03:01,272 --> 01:03:02,500
All right, Ma, all right.
716
01:03:02,673 --> 01:03:05,574
Good. Good. Okay, Zeb, coming in.
717
01:03:05,743 --> 01:03:07,663
Will you give a little room
for the doorway?
718
01:03:09,046 --> 01:03:10,638
Very good.
719
01:03:11,249 --> 01:03:12,682
Wonderful.
720
01:04:11,242 --> 01:04:13,176
Never seen younglings
as tuckered as that.
721
01:04:14,712 --> 01:04:17,545
I think they've growed a few inches
in the last few days.
722
01:04:17,715 --> 01:04:19,910
They're not the only ones.
723
01:04:20,718 --> 01:04:22,447
Yeah.
724
01:04:22,620 --> 01:04:27,114
There was a while there I was wondering
whether you were gonna make it or not...
725
01:04:27,825 --> 01:04:31,317
...but I can see brother Tim knew what
he was doing when he married you.
726
01:04:33,498 --> 01:04:37,434
- It's been almost a month since he left.
- Ah.
727
01:04:37,602 --> 01:04:39,536
Tim will be back, Kate.
728
01:04:40,071 --> 01:04:43,234
You know, God has a way of looking out
after Tim's sort.
729
01:04:45,409 --> 01:04:47,570
Don't tell me you believe in God,
Zeb Macahan.
730
01:04:50,248 --> 01:04:52,546
I reckon I do in my own way.
731
01:04:54,585 --> 01:04:57,213
I told Timothy you were a godless man.
732
01:04:58,356 --> 01:05:00,790
Yeah, heh, well,
that's not hard to understand, Kate.
733
01:05:00,958 --> 01:05:06,123
I mean, you know, I guess I never been
too much for church-going and all...
734
01:05:06,297 --> 01:05:09,095
...but I guess when it comes clearest to me
is when I'm up...
735
01:05:09,267 --> 01:05:11,167
...in what they call the high lonesome...
736
01:05:11,335 --> 01:05:15,328
...watching the deer come down to drink in
the early morning from a mountain lake...
737
01:05:15,506 --> 01:05:18,304
...with the mist just lifting off of it.
738
01:05:18,709 --> 01:05:22,907
Or the trout rising in a river
that's running cold and deep.
739
01:05:23,948 --> 01:05:28,009
And the bear and the martin
feeding along the shore.
740
01:05:28,185 --> 01:05:32,019
And maybe the eagle up there
soaring among the peaks.
741
01:05:32,857 --> 01:05:37,123
A man would have to be a fool to think
there wasn't a hand that made all of that.
742
01:05:37,728 --> 01:05:40,060
Sure hope he's looking out for us
in the morning...
743
01:05:40,865 --> 01:05:43,390
...if we're gonna be doing our planting.
744
01:05:43,568 --> 01:05:45,798
What can we grow out here?
745
01:05:45,970 --> 01:05:52,170
Well, not too much this time a year.
Maybe some carrots and turnips, cabbage.
746
01:05:52,343 --> 01:05:54,743
Maybe a little corn for the stock.
747
01:05:55,580 --> 01:05:57,639
But we'll make out, Kate.
748
01:06:14,599 --> 01:06:18,262
Uncle Zeb! Horses! Hundreds of them.
749
01:06:18,436 --> 01:06:20,996
They're coming towards the house.
750
01:06:23,608 --> 01:06:26,543
Jed, get your rifle, get down here.
You ladies get in the house.
751
01:06:26,711 --> 01:06:27,973
Laura!
752
01:06:30,081 --> 01:06:31,571
Turn them.
753
01:06:31,749 --> 01:06:34,684
Shoot over their heads. Turn them!
Turn them!
754
01:06:43,194 --> 01:06:46,357
Turn them or we'll blow you
out of the saddle.
755
01:06:53,571 --> 01:06:56,734
They're doing it, Uncle Zeb,
they're turning.
756
01:06:57,508 --> 01:06:59,499
Keep turning!
757
01:06:59,677 --> 01:07:02,237
That's it. Move them.
758
01:07:13,691 --> 01:07:16,592
- Now what do you think you're doing?
- Protecting our property.
759
01:07:16,761 --> 01:07:19,161
- Now get those horses out of here.
- Nesters.
760
01:07:19,330 --> 01:07:21,298
Squatting right between us and the river.
761
01:07:21,465 --> 01:07:24,298
Now this here land
belongs to Hale Crowley.
762
01:07:24,468 --> 01:07:27,130
We're running these horses through here
for watering.
763
01:07:27,304 --> 01:07:29,465
Not while we're here, you ain't.
764
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:33,770
Now, you tell Mr. Crowley we're just
borrowing this land. We'll be moving on.
765
01:07:33,944 --> 01:07:35,309
- When?
- When we're ready.
766
01:07:37,048 --> 01:07:40,506
I know what you're thinking there, sonny.
And I wouldn't try that.
767
01:07:41,452 --> 01:07:43,682
This here Hawken
makes a mighty big hole.
768
01:07:44,321 --> 01:07:47,882
You got 30 minutes to clear out of here
and then we're coming through.
769
01:07:48,059 --> 01:07:51,256
- You go around us.
- Mr. Crowley said to run through you.
770
01:07:51,429 --> 01:07:53,329
They're thirsty and smelling water.
771
01:07:53,497 --> 01:07:56,091
We'll kill a dozen head
before you get to it.
772
01:07:56,267 --> 01:07:57,632
Are you loco, mister?
773
01:07:57,802 --> 01:08:00,270
Now, you can build a sod anywhere.
It's a big country.
774
01:08:00,438 --> 01:08:02,065
We built it here.
775
01:08:02,239 --> 01:08:03,706
Go around us. It's a big river.
776
01:08:04,475 --> 01:08:05,499
Crowley...
777
01:08:05,676 --> 01:08:09,134
Mr. Crowley ain't used
to butting heads with another bull.
778
01:08:10,648 --> 01:08:12,775
It's plain to see you're no farmer, mister.
779
01:08:13,651 --> 01:08:16,916
All right, we'll go around.
780
01:08:17,088 --> 01:08:21,184
But when word of this gets back
to Crowley, you better be gone.
781
01:08:33,804 --> 01:08:37,331
We done it, Uncle Zeb. We run them off.
782
01:08:37,975 --> 01:08:41,433
Best not to count beaver
till they're in your trap, boy.
783
01:08:42,646 --> 01:08:45,171
I got a feeling
they ain't through with us yet.
784
01:09:01,665 --> 01:09:04,793
Ma. Jed's coming back.
785
01:09:14,512 --> 01:09:15,843
Oh.
786
01:09:17,748 --> 01:09:21,343
Well, the telegraph's working now.
787
01:09:21,519 --> 01:09:22,952
But...
788
01:09:24,622 --> 01:09:26,886
...still no word from Pa.
789
01:09:33,597 --> 01:09:38,227
Uncle Zeb, I saw those cowboys again.
790
01:09:39,136 --> 01:09:41,400
They said we better be out of here
inside a week.
791
01:09:42,006 --> 01:09:44,770
I didn't wanna say anything
in front of the women.
792
01:09:49,814 --> 01:09:51,839
Now, boys, I'll tell you how it is.
793
01:09:52,650 --> 01:09:56,882
We can either hold ground here
or we can move on.
794
01:09:58,589 --> 01:10:00,648
I'm gonna leave it up to you.
795
01:10:04,261 --> 01:10:08,823
Well, the way I see it
we're the ones who worked the land.
796
01:10:08,999 --> 01:10:11,024
We'll stay until we hear from Pa.
797
01:10:21,512 --> 01:10:23,946
- Buffalo what?
- Buffalo droppings, honey, ugh.
798
01:10:24,114 --> 01:10:27,242
- Come on, Laura, it won't hurt you.
- But it's... It's...
799
01:10:27,418 --> 01:10:31,149
It's buffalo chips,
if you tend to be finicky.
800
01:10:31,322 --> 01:10:34,416
See, they, they burn real slow
and they give off a lot of heat.
801
01:10:34,592 --> 01:10:37,618
Go ahead jump right in,
it ain't bad once you get started.
802
01:10:58,682 --> 01:11:00,912
Oh, Laura,
you're gonna be a good picker.
803
01:11:13,664 --> 01:11:15,928
Oh, we should've heard
from Pa by now.
804
01:11:16,100 --> 01:11:18,432
It's been more than four months.
805
01:11:21,505 --> 01:11:26,408
- Why? What could have happened?
- Let's go get us a drink, huh?
806
01:11:36,654 --> 01:11:40,112
You know, holding your ground
don't only mean out there, Seth.
807
01:11:40,891 --> 01:11:43,018
Means in here too.
808
01:12:03,247 --> 01:12:05,408
Grab a chair, fellas.
809
01:12:09,153 --> 01:12:11,986
- What can I do for you?
- Bottle, a couple of glasses.
810
01:12:12,156 --> 01:12:14,420
I get it for them.
811
01:12:24,635 --> 01:12:27,160
Nothing worse
than the stink of a dirt-scratcher.
812
01:12:28,706 --> 01:12:31,231
Except it might be the stink
of a sheep-man.
813
01:12:32,543 --> 01:12:34,306
Though the stink is just about the same.
814
01:12:35,746 --> 01:12:36,770
Ew.
815
01:12:39,416 --> 01:12:41,850
These two soddies are in a bad
need of taking a bath.
816
01:12:42,019 --> 01:12:45,250
Why don't we take them on outside
to the horse trough.
817
01:12:46,557 --> 01:12:48,957
What do you think about that,
dung-heap?
818
01:12:50,361 --> 01:12:52,329
- Hey! Hey!
- Wait a minute.
819
01:12:53,030 --> 01:12:54,588
Stop it!
820
01:12:58,869 --> 01:13:00,496
Stop that!
821
01:13:05,943 --> 01:13:07,570
You're busting up my place!
822
01:13:09,346 --> 01:13:10,506
Get out of here!
823
01:13:14,451 --> 01:13:16,612
Take it outside.
824
01:13:22,726 --> 01:13:24,853
Hey, you thought you'd give us
a bath, did you?
825
01:13:25,029 --> 01:13:26,792
Well, get in there!
826
01:13:27,731 --> 01:13:30,291
How'd you like it, mister?
Huh, how do you like it?
827
01:13:30,467 --> 01:13:33,095
That feel real good?
828
01:13:44,048 --> 01:13:45,888
I'm sure glad I never tried
to give you a bath.
829
01:14:01,698 --> 01:14:06,465
- You and your boys owe me for damages.
- Ah, shut up!
830
01:14:18,348 --> 01:14:23,217
Yeah, Seth, I was right proud of you,
the way you handled that old boy's case.
831
01:14:23,787 --> 01:14:26,415
He was rough as a badger
out of his hole.
832
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,957
You remind me of your pa
in the old days.
833
01:14:33,130 --> 01:14:34,859
You know, before he got hitched up...
834
01:14:35,032 --> 01:14:38,092
...him and me used to take them on
like that once in a while.
835
01:14:38,268 --> 01:14:40,759
I remember one time down
in Natchez, why...
836
01:14:46,176 --> 01:14:48,144
- I'm going back.
- Huh?
837
01:14:49,780 --> 01:14:51,407
After Pa.
838
01:14:51,582 --> 01:14:52,879
Boy, you ain't going nowhere.
839
01:14:53,884 --> 01:14:55,715
No, I'm sorry...
840
01:14:56,453 --> 01:15:01,254
...but just sitting here, waiting.
841
01:15:05,195 --> 01:15:06,924
It's getting all of us.
842
01:15:07,364 --> 01:15:09,229
Most of all, Ma.
843
01:15:12,102 --> 01:15:13,899
Now, you been aching to go yourself.
844
01:15:24,381 --> 01:15:25,939
Well, I'm going.
845
01:15:26,950 --> 01:15:30,249
- Now, wait a minute, if anybody goes...
- Uh-huh.
846
01:15:31,088 --> 01:15:33,056
You promised Pa.
847
01:15:33,223 --> 01:15:35,919
You know your ma's gonna have
something to say about this.
848
01:15:36,493 --> 01:15:38,017
Will you tell her?
849
01:15:38,695 --> 01:15:41,562
So you ain't even going back
to the place?
850
01:15:43,100 --> 01:15:45,591
Ah, you know what it'll be like.
851
01:15:48,205 --> 01:15:50,639
Yeah, you're right about that.
852
01:15:51,808 --> 01:15:55,244
I guess if you're going you might as well
get on your horse and ride.
853
01:15:55,412 --> 01:15:57,073
I'll handle your ma.
854
01:15:57,247 --> 01:16:01,115
Here, this will get you
what you need, lad.
855
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:13,560
Seth, you bring back your pa, you hear?
856
01:16:14,865 --> 01:16:16,389
Yes, sir.
857
01:16:28,178 --> 01:16:29,941
Hyah.
858
01:18:45,549 --> 01:18:47,483
Is that you, Seth?
859
01:18:54,991 --> 01:18:56,982
Henry Jethro?
860
01:19:04,668 --> 01:19:06,636
Yankee cannons...
861
01:19:08,305 --> 01:19:10,705
...house wasn't hurt much.
862
01:19:13,543 --> 01:19:16,535
Stayed put inside they'd be alive.
863
01:19:22,285 --> 01:19:25,777
- Who buried them?
- Me and Pa.
864
01:19:27,157 --> 01:19:29,455
Read over them from the Bible.
865
01:19:31,261 --> 01:19:34,059
It was your pa
that marked the graves.
866
01:19:37,300 --> 01:19:38,995
My pa?
867
01:19:41,772 --> 01:19:44,172
- When?
- Few days after it happened...
868
01:19:44,775 --> 01:19:48,575
...I was home on leave then,
before I got burned.
869
01:19:50,313 --> 01:19:52,508
Do you know where he is now, Henry?
870
01:19:53,884 --> 01:19:56,114
Yankees took him prisoner.
871
01:20:00,557 --> 01:20:04,049
- Pa had no part in this war.
- He told them that.
872
01:20:04,594 --> 01:20:07,085
But they said he was gonna have
to fight anyhow.
873
01:20:07,264 --> 01:20:09,425
It wasn't what I figured
it was gonna be, Seth.
874
01:20:11,535 --> 01:20:13,400
Yankees hit us...
875
01:20:15,005 --> 01:20:17,496
...and I woke up
in a field hospital like this.
876
01:20:19,810 --> 01:20:22,108
You know where they might
have took my pa, Henry?
877
01:20:22,846 --> 01:20:25,747
Folks said they was headed
toward Tennessee.
878
01:20:40,831 --> 01:20:42,264
So long.
879
01:21:00,684 --> 01:21:05,348
Go back home, Seth,
before this war turns on you.
880
01:21:06,289 --> 01:21:08,154
You hear?
881
01:21:31,114 --> 01:21:34,083
Couldn't get deer meat,
but got us some fish, anyway.
882
01:21:34,251 --> 01:21:35,946
Zeb!
883
01:21:39,022 --> 01:21:40,546
Doane.
884
01:21:42,926 --> 01:21:44,951
What are you doing in these parts?
885
01:21:46,496 --> 01:21:50,796
Dutton's loose,
few days after you brought him in.
886
01:21:50,967 --> 01:21:53,401
Broke that guardhouse like an egg crate.
887
01:21:53,570 --> 01:21:59,338
Came looking for you, Zeb, but you were
in Virginia, so he went after Billy Joe.
888
01:22:00,443 --> 01:22:01,876
Did he find him?
889
01:22:03,446 --> 01:22:04,970
Dutton killed him, Zeb.
890
01:22:05,815 --> 01:22:07,510
Scalped.
891
01:22:21,398 --> 01:22:23,832
He's looking for you.
892
01:22:29,072 --> 01:22:31,404
Thought you best know.
893
01:22:32,509 --> 01:22:34,204
How did you know where to find me?
894
01:22:34,377 --> 01:22:37,904
Well, the word's out,
you took your family to the Platte.
895
01:22:38,081 --> 01:22:40,879
If I can find you, so can Dutton.
896
01:22:41,351 --> 01:22:42,875
You got any idea where he is now?
897
01:22:43,420 --> 01:22:47,186
Well, the last I heard he was out
in the White River Crossing...
898
01:22:47,357 --> 01:22:49,825
...coming down through the Dakotas.
899
01:22:51,127 --> 01:22:54,585
Well, if he's coming down
from White River Crossing here...
900
01:22:55,565 --> 01:22:57,999
...he'd have to come through Pine Valley.
901
01:22:58,835 --> 01:23:01,303
It ain't more than half a mile wide
at the lake.
902
01:23:01,471 --> 01:23:02,995
That's how I got it figured.
903
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:06,231
Well, I appreciate your coming this far.
904
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:12,004
Well, I liked Billy Joe.
905
01:23:12,182 --> 01:23:15,982
I'd have done for Dutton myself
if I could have found him...
906
01:23:16,786 --> 01:23:18,651
...but it'll be better coming from you.
907
01:23:21,524 --> 01:23:22,821
Good hunting, Zeb.
908
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:52,785
Sorry, Zeb.
909
01:23:53,556 --> 01:23:55,581
Who was Billy Joe?
910
01:23:55,759 --> 01:23:59,217
Oh, he was an Indian boy, Kate.
He was a reservation runaway.
911
01:24:00,330 --> 01:24:03,026
First time I met him,
he was trying to steal my horse.
912
01:24:03,199 --> 01:24:05,599
He was about 15, I guess, then.
913
01:24:06,302 --> 01:24:08,065
Kind of dirty and scrawny.
914
01:24:08,238 --> 01:24:11,332
We washed him all down, we found
a pure Cheyenne Indian underneath.
915
01:24:11,741 --> 01:24:14,539
Being Cheyenne,
he was worth the trouble salvaging.
916
01:24:16,646 --> 01:24:20,605
I taught him what I know.
Guess he was kind of like a son to me.
917
01:24:24,387 --> 01:24:27,185
Kate, I gotta go get the man
that killed him.
918
01:24:31,761 --> 01:24:36,164
First Timothy, then Seth, now you.
919
01:24:36,833 --> 01:24:39,301
I promised Timothy I'd look after you
and the kids.
920
01:24:39,469 --> 01:24:42,666
That's what I aim to do.
Here I'd bring Dutton down on you.
921
01:24:42,839 --> 01:24:45,706
See, he's kind of like an animal
turned renegade.
922
01:24:45,875 --> 01:24:49,436
He kills just for the taste of blood,
like he did with Billy Joe.
923
01:24:49,612 --> 01:24:53,309
Now, if he could hurt me by getting
to you or the kids, Kate, he'd do it.
924
01:24:53,483 --> 01:24:56,179
Before he finds out where this place is
I gotta get to him.
925
01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:00,185
- I'll be back as soon as I can.
- I'll put some things together for you.
926
01:25:00,356 --> 01:25:02,085
Don't bother.
927
01:25:02,859 --> 01:25:04,690
I'll kill what I need.
928
01:25:09,332 --> 01:25:11,732
Zeb, what about Crowley?
929
01:25:13,169 --> 01:25:15,933
Well, Crowley's not out to hurt anybody,
Kate.
930
01:25:19,409 --> 01:25:20,933
If he was, he'd have done it by now.
931
01:25:24,047 --> 01:25:25,844
Take a good look at Jed lately?
932
01:25:27,450 --> 01:25:29,816
He's closer to a man than you think.
933
01:25:59,516 --> 01:26:00,847
The savage Battle of Shiloh...
934
01:26:01,017 --> 01:26:02,951
...exploded across
the Tennessee countryside...
935
01:26:03,119 --> 01:26:04,780
...on the morning of April 6th.
936
01:26:04,954 --> 01:26:08,048
The initial Confederate attack
overran the Union position...
937
01:26:08,224 --> 01:26:10,658
...throwing battle lines
into total confusion.
938
01:26:10,827 --> 01:26:14,729
Everywhere there were small pockets of
Union troops cut off from their commands...
939
01:26:14,898 --> 01:26:18,231
...in terrain that was, temporarily,
in Rebel hands.
940
01:26:35,251 --> 01:26:37,617
All right! Who are you?
941
01:26:37,787 --> 01:26:41,416
- What difference does it make?
- Afraid we got us a sapping turtle, captain.
942
01:26:41,591 --> 01:26:44,253
- Where you from, son?
- Virginia.
943
01:26:45,094 --> 01:26:46,459
Smell spy to me, sir.
944
01:26:47,197 --> 01:26:50,325
Just because a man's from Virginia
doesn't make him a spy, sergeant.
945
01:26:50,500 --> 01:26:53,128
Besides, he seemed in a hurry
to avoid that Rebel patrol.
946
01:26:54,337 --> 01:26:57,465
- Well, that he did, sir.
- I got no stake in this war.
947
01:26:57,640 --> 01:26:59,801
It's a hell of a place to be a neutral.
948
01:27:00,710 --> 01:27:02,803
I'm looking for my father.
949
01:27:03,746 --> 01:27:09,013
I'm sorry, son, but we just lost
six good men and I'm shorthanded.
950
01:27:09,185 --> 01:27:13,053
- What's your name?
- Macahan. Seth Macahan.
951
01:27:13,857 --> 01:27:15,290
Do you believe in slavery?
952
01:27:18,261 --> 01:27:21,355
- No, sir. But l...
- That no longer makes you a neutral.
953
01:27:21,531 --> 01:27:24,159
- Time being, anyway.
- And I don't believe in war, either.
954
01:27:24,334 --> 01:27:25,767
Neither do I.
955
01:27:25,935 --> 01:27:30,634
About, uh, Billing's size,
wouldn't you say, sergeant?
956
01:27:31,541 --> 01:27:34,601
Yes, sir. All right, move, soldier.
957
01:27:40,516 --> 01:27:43,144
Mama? Mama.
958
01:27:43,319 --> 01:27:47,380
Something's wrong with Jessie.
She's got a fierce pain in her stomach.
959
01:27:54,631 --> 01:27:55,757
Jessie?
960
01:27:57,367 --> 01:27:59,028
My stomach.
961
01:28:00,503 --> 01:28:02,471
Any place else?
962
01:28:04,874 --> 01:28:06,398
Where?
963
01:28:07,110 --> 01:28:11,638
My arms, my legs, everything.
964
01:28:12,382 --> 01:28:13,940
- Laura, get Jed.
- What is it?
965
01:28:14,117 --> 01:28:16,108
Get Jed, Laura.
966
01:28:41,077 --> 01:28:44,046
Doctor! Dr. Dodd!
967
01:28:46,449 --> 01:28:47,780
Have you seen the doctor?
968
01:28:47,951 --> 01:28:49,748
We wouldn't know anything about that.
969
01:28:49,919 --> 01:28:51,546
I gotta find him. It's urgent.
970
01:28:52,455 --> 01:28:57,916
The doctor in there is for the people here
in Sand Town. It's not for you squatters.
971
01:28:58,094 --> 01:29:02,030
- I said, I gotta find the doctor.
- You ain't going nowhere, boy.
972
01:29:02,198 --> 01:29:03,426
Except maybe out of town.
973
01:29:03,599 --> 01:29:05,931
We gonna give you a little lesson...
974
01:29:06,102 --> 01:29:11,870
...about what's gonna happen to you
if you show your face around here again.
975
01:29:21,584 --> 01:29:24,951
That must be the doctor.
You stay here and take care of her, Laura.
976
01:29:32,028 --> 01:29:34,929
Jed! Jed!
977
01:29:35,098 --> 01:29:37,623
Jed! Jed!
978
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:41,099
Jed, what happened?
What happened, Jed?
979
01:30:03,893 --> 01:30:07,693
- Who's the doctor here?
- I am.
980
01:30:07,864 --> 01:30:10,230
You're coming with me
right away, doctor.
981
01:30:14,070 --> 01:30:17,403
- Are you Crowley?
- I am.
982
01:30:19,909 --> 01:30:22,935
I'm truly tempted to kill you,
Mr. Crowley.
983
01:30:23,112 --> 01:30:26,707
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- My son!
984
01:30:26,883 --> 01:30:30,046
- Your men beat him up today, bad.
- Bad enough to need a doctor?
985
01:30:30,219 --> 01:30:33,780
He came here for a doctor.
His sister is sick.
986
01:30:33,956 --> 01:30:35,651
Maybe cholera.
987
01:30:36,926 --> 01:30:39,895
Woodward, did you have a hand
in beating up this boy?
988
01:30:40,096 --> 01:30:42,291
No, sir, I wasn't there.
989
01:30:42,465 --> 01:30:45,866
- Polk?
- Uh, he was one of them Macahans... -
990
01:30:46,035 --> 01:30:48,367
When you get back to the ranch,
you clear out.
991
01:30:48,538 --> 01:30:50,233
You too, Stenner.
992
01:30:50,406 --> 01:30:51,930
It was one of them sodbusters...
993
01:30:52,108 --> 01:30:56,306
I told you I wanted them out, not dead.
I don't want to see you after sundown.
994
01:30:58,581 --> 01:31:01,550
I'm sorry about your boy.
I didn't want anyone hurt, just out.
995
01:31:01,717 --> 01:31:03,981
When I raise my voice,
folks usually move.
996
01:31:05,755 --> 01:31:08,519
All right, doc, you go on out there.
997
01:31:09,192 --> 01:31:10,284
You too, Mr. Crowley.
998
01:31:13,496 --> 01:31:16,590
- Cholera's contagious!
- Lf you're out there, no one will interfere.
999
01:31:17,233 --> 01:31:19,997
If you think you're gonna
make me go out there...
1000
01:31:20,803 --> 01:31:22,100
You're damned right!
1001
01:32:00,076 --> 01:32:01,236
Then it is cholera?
1002
01:32:01,944 --> 01:32:04,378
I don't know yet.
1003
01:32:05,681 --> 01:32:07,444
If it is...
1004
01:32:08,518 --> 01:32:11,385
...in a few hours...
1005
01:32:23,232 --> 01:32:25,063
On the first day of battle...
1006
01:32:25,234 --> 01:32:28,067
...Union forces at Shiloh had suffered
devastating losses.
1007
01:32:28,237 --> 01:32:31,434
But during the night, General Grant
rallied his shattered forces...
1008
01:32:31,607 --> 01:32:34,167
...and at dawn on April 7th
began a counterattack.
1009
01:32:34,977 --> 01:32:38,413
Before the day was over,
the Union had won back what it had lost.
1010
01:32:38,581 --> 01:32:40,344
But the cost was appalling.
1011
01:32:40,516 --> 01:32:42,541
In the two days of savage fighting...
1012
01:32:42,718 --> 01:32:45,744
...casualties had mounted to 25,000 men.
1013
01:33:48,417 --> 01:33:50,977
Thought you might need
some fresh water.
1014
01:33:57,360 --> 01:33:59,191
Stomach cramps finally let up.
1015
01:34:00,229 --> 01:34:04,598
It was dysentery.
She's sleeping peacefully now.
1016
01:34:07,703 --> 01:34:10,866
- Thank you, doctor.
- Uh, Mrs. Macahan.
1017
01:34:11,707 --> 01:34:16,974
Since I can't run you off, maybe I can make
things a little more tolerable for you.
1018
01:34:17,146 --> 01:34:22,243
I've got some lumber out at the ranch,
enough there to build you a decent floor...
1019
01:34:22,418 --> 01:34:25,285
...and then you wouldn't have
to walk around in all that dirt.
1020
01:34:26,022 --> 01:34:28,786
- We'll make do.
- You can stay as long as you like.
1021
01:34:28,958 --> 01:34:30,619
What about your horses?
1022
01:34:32,261 --> 01:34:35,458
Well, we'll just, uh,
move them around you.
1023
01:34:37,900 --> 01:34:39,925
Thank you.
1024
01:34:41,537 --> 01:34:44,472
Yes, ma'am. Goodbye, ma'am.
1025
01:34:59,388 --> 01:35:01,219
Lord, I'm thirsty.
1026
01:35:01,390 --> 01:35:05,019
- Ain't had a drink since this morning.
- Yeah, well, just be glad you're alive.
1027
01:35:05,194 --> 01:35:07,424
I'm the only one left in my platoon...
1028
01:35:07,596 --> 01:35:09,723
...when the Rebs pulled out
in front of us...
1029
01:35:11,901 --> 01:35:14,369
That's water up ahead. Come on.
1030
01:35:25,648 --> 01:35:27,548
- Hold on.
- What are you doing?
1031
01:35:27,717 --> 01:35:29,378
Hey, hold your fire.
1032
01:35:30,986 --> 01:35:34,513
Hey, now, look, we all need water.
Maybe we can work a truce.
1033
01:35:36,192 --> 01:35:38,092
You crazy. You can't trust them.
1034
01:35:38,260 --> 01:35:41,024
Hell, they're probably saying
the same thing about us.
1035
01:35:42,498 --> 01:35:45,194
We can kill each other out here
or we can die of thirst.
1036
01:35:45,368 --> 01:35:47,666
You call a truce and we all live.
1037
01:35:47,837 --> 01:35:49,498
How do we know you
ain't got something up your sleeve?
1038
01:35:49,672 --> 01:35:51,606
No tricks.
1039
01:35:52,241 --> 01:35:54,801
Look, all of us need water.
1040
01:35:54,977 --> 01:35:59,539
We agree on a truce, each of us fill up
and go our own ways.
1041
01:35:59,715 --> 01:36:02,843
Never met a blue belly yet
that wasn't partial to an ambush.
1042
01:36:03,018 --> 01:36:05,418
Only way a Reb knows how to fight
is from a man's back.
1043
01:36:05,588 --> 01:36:07,579
I ain't drinking no water
after no Reb does.
1044
01:36:07,757 --> 01:36:09,677
We're taking this creek. Try to stop us.
1045
01:36:09,825 --> 01:36:11,588
Now, wait a minute.
It makes no sense.
1046
01:36:11,761 --> 01:36:14,286
- I'm taking me a bath.
- Yes, sir.
1047
01:36:14,463 --> 01:36:17,432
Well, we aim to take a bath
in that creek ourselves. Alone.
1048
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:20,433
Ain't no Yankee gonna be around
to muddy up the water.
1049
01:37:41,417 --> 01:37:43,112
Help me.
1050
01:38:35,437 --> 01:38:37,234
Who goes there?
1051
01:38:39,775 --> 01:38:41,242
Come on.
1052
01:38:48,551 --> 01:38:53,079
- Where you coming from, soldier?
- From Shiloh.
1053
01:39:02,197 --> 01:39:04,392
Set him over here, son.
1054
01:39:13,008 --> 01:39:15,738
We got orders just to sit tight.
1055
01:39:18,881 --> 01:39:20,678
You're mighty lucky, soldier.
1056
01:39:20,849 --> 01:39:24,216
You lost a lot of blood,
but I think you're gonna be all right.
1057
01:39:49,011 --> 01:39:50,501
Pa.
1058
01:39:52,815 --> 01:39:54,305
Pa.
1059
01:40:01,924 --> 01:40:03,391
Pa.
1060
01:40:08,430 --> 01:40:09,829
Pa.
1061
01:40:11,433 --> 01:40:13,367
Pa.
1062
01:40:21,443 --> 01:40:22,967
Pa.
1063
01:40:36,291 --> 01:40:37,485
What you doing here?
1064
01:40:40,229 --> 01:40:41,594
I come to find you, Pa.
1065
01:40:49,905 --> 01:40:55,673
- Your mother? Your mother?
- She's fine, Pa.
1066
01:40:55,844 --> 01:41:00,110
She's fine. Everybody's fine.
1067
01:41:13,896 --> 01:41:16,126
Ain't there a doctor?
1068
01:41:21,036 --> 01:41:23,402
He's dead, boy.
1069
01:41:56,071 --> 01:41:58,301
What was he to you, boy?
1070
01:42:02,845 --> 01:42:04,836
He was my father.
1071
01:42:12,588 --> 01:42:17,287
- Were you with him?
- Yup.
1072
01:42:18,961 --> 01:42:21,657
Wouldn't fight first off.
1073
01:42:22,798 --> 01:42:27,360
But pretty soon,
he figured it'd beat rotting in prison.
1074
01:42:27,536 --> 01:42:30,300
Damn good soldier too.
1075
01:42:33,275 --> 01:42:37,644
Don't know exactly what happened,
but we were holding a ridge...
1076
01:42:40,682 --> 01:42:45,085
...and all of sudden shells come in...
1077
01:42:46,088 --> 01:42:50,718
...exploding all around us.
Killing men on both sides.
1078
01:42:53,228 --> 01:42:58,757
I don't even know if they were Yankee
or Reb cannons doing the killing.
1079
01:43:02,638 --> 01:43:04,799
Corporal, water these horses.
1080
01:43:05,908 --> 01:43:07,933
They're breaking our lines.
1081
01:43:08,110 --> 01:43:10,772
I need every man
who can stand and shoot.
1082
01:43:10,946 --> 01:43:14,643
You two, fall in. You.
1083
01:43:14,817 --> 01:43:18,275
You. Corporal. You two.
1084
01:43:18,453 --> 01:43:20,853
Still got one good leg left.
1085
01:43:22,591 --> 01:43:26,789
- I said fall in.
- No, sir. I'm going no place.
1086
01:43:26,962 --> 01:43:29,897
- Soldier, on your feet.
- He was my father.
1087
01:43:31,633 --> 01:43:35,433
We've all lost a lot in this war, son.
Best thing you can do for him is kill Rebs.
1088
01:43:35,604 --> 01:43:37,037
No.
1089
01:43:37,706 --> 01:43:40,197
Are you refusing to fight?
1090
01:43:42,578 --> 01:43:45,274
Done all the killing I'm gonna do.
1091
01:43:46,348 --> 01:43:47,975
Fall in.
1092
01:43:50,919 --> 01:43:52,580
Soldier.
1093
01:43:55,991 --> 01:44:00,394
Soldier, take one more step and I'll fire.
1094
01:47:12,421 --> 01:47:16,448
First thing I seen when I came in the
barn was that bald-faced horse of yours.
1095
01:47:16,625 --> 01:47:18,957
The one that was stole from your place.
1096
01:47:19,127 --> 01:47:22,324
And then I see this one sleeping here
so I went and got the sheriff.
1097
01:47:22,497 --> 01:47:25,295
Well, you did the right thing
in fetching me, Sam.
1098
01:47:25,467 --> 01:47:26,934
So you're the horse thief?
1099
01:47:31,940 --> 01:47:34,738
I thought you said you hit him.
I don't see any bullet wound.
1100
01:47:34,910 --> 01:47:38,175
Well, you hit him, mister. He's dead.
1101
01:47:39,548 --> 01:47:43,109
I found him. I found his body yesterday
morning and this horse was loose.
1102
01:47:43,285 --> 01:47:45,651
What do you take us for, boy?
1103
01:47:46,555 --> 01:47:50,184
My name's Macahan.
Seth Macahan. I'm a soldier.
1104
01:47:50,358 --> 01:47:55,295
A Union soldier. And I come here
from Nebraska to find my pa.
1105
01:47:57,265 --> 01:47:58,857
I'm no horse thief.
1106
01:47:59,034 --> 01:48:02,731
Not only a horse thief, but a Yankee.
Come on, string him up.
1107
01:48:02,904 --> 01:48:06,169
No, wait. You just can't hang a man
without a trial or nothing.
1108
01:48:06,341 --> 01:48:09,936
Mister, this here's Missouri.
Man steals a horse, he hangs.
1109
01:48:11,379 --> 01:48:12,778
That's for sure.
1110
01:48:24,126 --> 01:48:25,650
Hyah.
1111
01:49:03,798 --> 01:49:07,029
You're a hard man to kill, Zeb.
1112
01:49:07,202 --> 01:49:11,901
- You're gonna find out how hard.
- How'd you know I was up here?
1113
01:49:12,974 --> 01:49:14,908
I can smell you.
1114
01:49:15,076 --> 01:49:20,446
- You fixing to take me back?
- Yeah.
1115
01:49:21,183 --> 01:49:23,413
Over my saddle.
1116
01:49:23,585 --> 01:49:27,487
I figured that's how it'd be
after I got Billy Joe.
1117
01:49:27,656 --> 01:49:31,490
Well, come on up, Zeb.
1118
01:49:31,660 --> 01:49:34,026
I'll be waiting on you.
1119
01:49:46,508 --> 01:49:48,032
Zeb.
1120
01:49:49,444 --> 01:49:52,709
Come on, sit down. Have some rabbit.
1121
01:49:53,448 --> 01:49:57,544
- I cook real good rabbit.
- No, thanks.
1122
01:49:59,988 --> 01:50:03,424
Sorry about trying to bushwhack you
back there.
1123
01:50:03,592 --> 01:50:07,119
- I thought it was my best chance.
- Your only chance.
1124
01:50:07,896 --> 01:50:11,093
Wasn't too long ago,
you and I rode a lot of rivers together.
1125
01:50:12,167 --> 01:50:15,967
Kind of like to stay up here,
no matter how it comes out.
1126
01:50:16,137 --> 01:50:18,662
What happened, Dutton?
When'd you turn wolf?
1127
01:50:19,541 --> 01:50:21,338
Oh.
1128
01:50:21,843 --> 01:50:23,970
World changed.
1129
01:50:25,647 --> 01:50:27,740
No more beaver...
1130
01:50:27,916 --> 01:50:30,908
...fur trade played out...
1131
01:50:32,821 --> 01:50:33,845
...rendezvous.
1132
01:50:34,022 --> 01:50:37,753
Ain't been a real rendezvous
since '45.
1133
01:50:37,926 --> 01:50:41,293
Men like you and me
we had the world right by the throat...
1134
01:50:41,463 --> 01:50:44,626
...and it'd give us anything we wanted.
1135
01:50:45,233 --> 01:50:48,999
Now it says we gotta take on civilized.
1136
01:50:50,205 --> 01:50:53,265
I can't do that. Just can't do it.
1137
01:50:54,576 --> 01:50:58,239
Now there, there's the one I envy,
the eagle.
1138
01:51:00,682 --> 01:51:02,172
Well...
1139
01:51:03,852 --> 01:51:05,683
...either way...
1140
01:51:06,388 --> 01:51:08,618
...we both seen the best of it.
1141
01:51:15,997 --> 01:51:17,464
Well...
1142
01:51:19,567 --> 01:51:21,364
So long, Zeb.
1143
01:52:12,253 --> 01:52:13,777
Seth.
1144
01:52:17,258 --> 01:52:18,782
Seth, heh.
1145
01:52:32,340 --> 01:52:35,275
Seth. What happened, Seth?
1146
01:52:35,443 --> 01:52:39,311
Where have you been? Your father?
1147
01:52:45,954 --> 01:52:47,785
He's dead.
1148
01:53:12,814 --> 01:53:14,008
He'll never see it.
1149
01:53:16,184 --> 01:53:18,311
What, Ma?
1150
01:53:19,521 --> 01:53:21,512
California.
1151
01:53:22,524 --> 01:53:24,355
Oregon.
1152
01:53:26,227 --> 01:53:29,355
What he waited 25 years to see.
1153
01:53:34,068 --> 01:53:36,901
What about Grandma, Grandpa?
1154
01:53:39,374 --> 01:53:43,811
- Them too.
- Oh, God.
1155
01:53:54,622 --> 01:53:56,180
Ma...
1156
01:53:59,794 --> 01:54:01,785
...when Pa died...
1157
01:54:03,565 --> 01:54:05,533
...I was with him.
1158
01:54:13,975 --> 01:54:15,966
Are you all right?
1159
01:54:26,054 --> 01:54:27,919
Where's everybody?
1160
01:54:28,423 --> 01:54:29,913
Oh.
1161
01:54:30,091 --> 01:54:35,859
Zeb, he's gone north,
but he'll be back any day.
1162
01:54:36,030 --> 01:54:38,464
Jed and the girls are in town.
They'll be back soon.
1163
01:54:39,334 --> 01:54:41,996
- Come on.
- Ma...
1164
01:54:45,406 --> 01:54:47,397
...I can't stay.
1165
01:54:48,910 --> 01:54:49,934
What?
1166
01:54:53,414 --> 01:54:56,941
- I'm wanted by the law.
- Seth.
1167
01:54:57,118 --> 01:55:01,578
I'm a deserter. I shot a lawman.
1168
01:55:01,756 --> 01:55:05,658
Try explaining it to you,
but I've got to go.
1169
01:55:06,628 --> 01:55:09,825
I left Missouri in a very big hurry.
1170
01:55:09,998 --> 01:55:12,296
Where you going to go?
1171
01:55:14,235 --> 01:55:17,762
Up north, I guess, till things ease up.
1172
01:55:18,640 --> 01:55:22,940
Now, don't fret, I'll be fine.
1173
01:55:26,614 --> 01:55:33,417
Ma, they know where I'm from,
so if anybody comes looking for me, I...
1174
01:55:33,588 --> 01:55:35,579
We haven't seen you.
1175
01:55:39,994 --> 01:55:41,188
Going on to Oregon?
1176
01:55:44,032 --> 01:55:45,363
Not until we go together.
1177
01:55:54,976 --> 01:55:56,807
I'll be back.
1178
01:56:02,150 --> 01:56:03,981
We'll be here.
1179
01:56:53,301 --> 01:56:58,204
The Macahan family,
like thousands of others...
1180
01:56:58,373 --> 01:57:03,640
...came and saw and endured.
1181
01:57:03,811 --> 01:57:06,609
In a sense, they were a typical family.
1182
01:57:06,781 --> 01:57:12,583
But they were only typical
of a very special breed of people...
1183
01:57:12,754 --> 01:57:16,121
...their likes we will never see again.
1184
01:57:16,290 --> 01:57:22,286
But they have given us a heritage
and a courage that was not only unique...
1185
01:57:22,463 --> 01:57:25,830
...but has survived to become...
1186
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:30,699
...our great American tradition.
1187
01:57:35,000 --> 01:57:45,000
