03:56 (dramatic music)
03:57 - Charge!
03:58 - At 24, he had been the youngest general in the Civil War.
04:02 Within five years, he had been reduced in rank
04:04 and sent west to be forgotten.
04:06 But he was not the kind of man to let the world forget.
04:09 His name, George Armstrong Custer.
04:12 (dramatic music)
04:14 (dramatic music)
04:19 (dramatic music)
04:22 (dramatic music)
04:40 (dramatic music)
04:42 - General. - Sir.
05:08 - What is it, man? - Yellowhawk.
05:10 Colonel Custer's cart to heathen.
05:13 - Yellowhawk? - Aye.
05:15 There'll be many a sore sleeping better
05:16 than on that red dibbles behind bars.
05:19 (dramatic music)
05:22 - Company, halt!
05:31 Dismount!
05:33 Dismount!
05:37 - Trooper.
05:38 - Sergeant, form a detail to guard the prison.
05:43 - Yes, sir.
05:44 - Daniels, Corby, Smith, guard detail.
05:48 - There you are.
05:52 That'll make walking a bit more comfortable.
05:54 - Trooper, it's Custer, he's bringing in Yellowhawk.
05:56 - Sergeant!
06:06 - Dirty murdering swine.
06:08 You kill women and kids, will you?
06:10 Let me, oh!
06:11 - Ram him!
06:17 - Tommy!
06:18 What's wrong with you, man?
06:19 - I'll kill him. - Easy.
06:21 Hold him till he comes to his senses.
06:23 Take him over there and cool him off.
06:26 - With my money, General, I'd let Toovey finish him.
06:31 - Toovey didn't know it was you he hit, Colonel.
06:33 - I know that, Sergeant.
06:35 I won't press any charges.
06:37 - Tears up!
06:38 - Company B, 7th Cavalry.
06:47 Reporting in from foraging detail, sir.
06:49 - So I see, Colonel Custer.
06:51 Captain Keogh, take charge of the prisoner.
06:54 - Aye, sir.
06:55 - Mr. Custer, I'll see you in my office now.
07:00 - Company, lead off!
07:02 - General.
07:05 - Looks like the old man's in the mood to do some sprightly chewing.
07:09 - Now you listen to me, Colonel Custer.
07:26 I expect you to carry out the orders that you've been given.
07:29 - Yes, sir.
07:30 - And when you've been given orders to forage for what?
07:33 Those orders do not include acting on your own initiative...
07:35 and engaging the hostile tribes in combat?
07:37 - Yes, sir.
07:38 - I warn you, Colonel Custer.
07:40 If you continue to pursue your policy of disobedience...
07:43 you'll give me no other choice except to recommend your dismissal from the service.
07:47 - I understand, General Terry.
07:48 - I hope you do.
07:49 - About Yellowhawk, sir.
07:51 - What about him?
07:52 - Feeling will run high against him here, sir.
07:54 Sergeant Toovey's family was on the stage he attacked last spring.
07:58 Toovey was on the detail that found them.
08:01 - What was left of them?
08:03 - We can't keep Yellowhawk here at Fort Hayes, sir.
08:07 - And I'm aware of that.
08:08 He'll be taken to Fort Riley and tried for his crimes there...
08:11 and hanged, if I'm not badly mistaken.
08:14 - I request the General's permission for the 7th to escort Yellowhawk to Fort Riley.
08:18 - Not granted.
08:19 How many times must I remind you, Colonel Custer...
08:22 of the duties assigned to the 7th?
08:25 - Garrison, labor, and foraging details.
08:29 - Yes, sir.
08:30 [music]
08:47 - General?
08:48 - Rough time, sir?
08:54 - Well, no rougher than usual.
08:56 Yellowhawk keeps saying he wants to see you, General.
08:59 - Sergeant Toovey. How is he?
09:06 - James B.'s putting a little red eye inside him.
09:09 Toovey will soon quiet down.
09:11 But he'll still kill Yellowhawk the first chance he gets.
09:13 - Toovey needs a change of scenery.
09:16 Something to get his mind off his memories.
09:18 Captain, you'll see that he gets in a mail wagon run to Fort Wallace.
09:22 A week's run to Fort Wallace, that'll get him away.
09:25 - Aye, sir.
09:26 And Yellowhawk will be gone when he comes back.
09:28 - General, I get the feeling that Yellowhawk ain't none too happy about being here with us.
09:39 - Open up.
09:41 [music]
10:02 - You wanted to see me?
10:03 [music]
10:10 - You take no chances, do you, Custer?
10:14 - Only those I have to.
10:16 - This must be said.
10:18 There will be another day for us, Custer.
10:21 - Perhaps.
10:23 But how many other days will there be for the Cheyenne Nation?
10:26 - More than a man could count in a thousand lifetimes.
10:29 - The sun is setting on your people, Yellowhawk.
10:32 Your eyes see too clearly not to know that.
10:34 And yet you murder and raid...
10:36 when you know there'll be reprisals against your people.
10:39 - Reprisals?
10:41 You take our land.
10:44 You drive us from everything we have owned.
10:47 You despoil our women.
10:50 You destroy our ways.
10:53 And you call it reprisals, Custer?
10:55 For what?
10:57 Did we bring the white men to this land?
10:59 Did we ask for this war?
11:01 - Yes.
11:02 When you break the treaties that might bring peace, you ask for war.
11:06 - Does the white men keep these treaties any better?
11:09 - Treaties are made by men.
11:11 And sometimes carried out by fools.
11:14 - If your treaties mean nothing to you, how can they mean anything to us?
11:18 - Nothing can stop the growth of this country.
11:21 Not the Cheyenne, not the Sioux.
11:23 No power on earth can prevent the two halves of this nation joining together.
11:28 The treaties, with all their faults, are all we have.
11:32 We must try and make them work.
11:35 - No.
11:36 Perhaps we cannot win, but if we can die like men and make you pay a price, you will remember.
11:41 - Come here!
11:43 Come here!
11:46 [music]
11:48 [music]
12:16 - Attention!
12:20 - How is Trooper Maloney today?
12:22 - Very well, Colonel Custer, sir.
12:25 - Very good, Trooper.
12:27 Now, as you were, good afternoon to you.
12:30 - Good afternoon, Jocko.
12:32 - Where's Jenny?
12:33 - The missus stayed at the farm with the baby.
12:37 - These are troubled times, Jocko.
12:39 - Aye, that they are.
12:40 But that murderin' heathen Yellowhawk will do no more raidin' or burnin'.
12:45 - Well, just the same, it might be a good idea if you and the missus were to move a little closer to Fort Hayes for a while.
12:50 - No rampagin' Indians drivin' me off me own land.
12:55 - Well, there's a patrol goin' out your way in about an hour.
12:58 At least you'll have company on your drive home.
13:00 - It would only make me an hour later gettin' back home, so I'll be goin' on alone.
13:04 If you're past the farm, Jenny'll be keepin' a pot of coffee hot for ya.
13:08 - I'll make it my duty to call.
13:10 - Irene.
13:12 [children laughing]
13:16 - Goodbye, Trooper.
13:18 - Soldiers don't kiss.
13:21 - Sorry, Trooper.
13:23 - We'll be watchin' for ya.
13:37 [splash]
13:39 [splash]
13:41 [trumpet fanfare]
13:52 [trumpet fanfare]
13:59 [truck rumbling]
14:02 - Lieutenant. - Sir?
14:13 - Nothing, Lieutenant. You know your business.
14:20 - Don't worry, Colonel. We'll take good care of your prize, Pigeon.
14:24 - Carry on.
14:26 - Wagon detail. Forward, ho!

15:52 [train whistle]
15:58 [train whistle]
16:01 - Say, General. - Make yourself at home, Joe.
16:09 - Now, since when ain't I always did just that?
16:13 - Poe Sutler's tellin' me you was lookin' for a new knife, and...
16:18 ...these just come in, and so I figured I'd better bring 'em on over.
16:21 You can have your pick.
16:23 Now, this one here is a nice little old light-skinned knife.
16:26 But this one, it's patterned after Mr. Bui's Texas toothpick.
16:30 Neither one of 'em ought to do the job.
16:33 - This is too light.
16:35 I think I'll keep the Bui knife.
16:39 - General, I know you're just a-chompin' at the bit to get back out into the field again...
16:45 ...but you gotta admit that garrison duty's got its advantages.
16:49 A fella sure apt to hang on to his hair a whole lot longer a-doin' it.
16:54 The frontier will stay untamed just that much longer.
16:57 - Assuming that the frontier ever will be tamed, which I have my doubts about.
17:03 - It will someday, Joe.
17:06 In spite of savages like Yellow Hawk and fools like President Grant's brother.
17:11 - Now, them's awful strong words, General.
17:14 If I was you, I wouldn't go a-spoutin' 'em off just anywhere.
17:18 - It's time someone shouted it everywhere.
17:21 Too much of the blame is being placed on the Indians...
17:24 ...when the fault is as much our own.
17:28 [HORSE NEIGHING]
17:54 - Luca, what happened? - Dead horse pass. All dead.
17:58 Cheyenne, take Yellow Hawk.
18:11 - Captain, prepare companies B and C. We're moving out after Yellow Hawk.
18:16 The rest of the 5th will remain here to protect the fort.
18:19 - Sir, he's got a good start. It might take days to find him.
18:23 If I took the 7th that struck north, we could cut his trail...
18:26 ...and drive him back towards you and the 5th.
18:29 Yellow Hawk's escaping, sir. We'll be told over every tribal campfire in the territory.
18:33 It'll encourage other hostiles to attack us.
18:36 - Custer, that's enough! - I don't think it is, sir.
18:39 He blames me for what happened to him here.
18:43 And he'll do anything to get his revenge. - Your point?
18:46 - Why not give him what he wants? Use me to bait a trap for him.
18:50 - Mr. Custer, the Indian wars are not a personal vendetta.
18:54 - Yellow Hawk thinks they are.
18:57 If you permit me to take the 7th into the Wichitas and then follow later with the 5th...
19:01 - There will be an expedition into the Wichita mountains, Mr. Custer...
19:05 ...by the 5th cavalry. Sooner or later, we'll find Yellow Hawk and we will bring him in.
19:09 - But it's me he wants, sir.
19:12 - Mr. Custer, he will deploy your companies of the 7th on patrol...
19:15 ...from Fort Riley to Fort Wallace.
19:18 You'll maintain that patrol until I relieve you of it.
19:21 - Miles from any chance of action. - Exactly.
19:24 - Well, it's any consolation, General.
19:31 Patrolling beats the devil out of cutting and hauling wood.
19:35 - This horse was the most beautiful horse I ever saw.
19:42 She was a sable with a flax mane and tail.
19:45 - Sergeant, I want B Company ready for field duty in one hour.
19:49 - We're seeing action, sir. - I don't expect it, Sergeant.
19:53 - We'll take a patrol to Fort Wallace and return. - A patrol?
19:56 Blasted, sir, we just got back from a patrol.
19:59 Yes, sir.
20:03 - As you were.
20:06 - Patrol duty.
20:12 - All right, you buzzards, move! Move!
20:15 - Move!
20:18 - Move!
20:21 - Move!
20:24 - Move!
20:27 - Move!
20:31 - Move!
20:34 - California, I'm beginning to think that you take better care of that mule than I do my horse.
20:58 - That's 'cause she's a better saddle animal than that big jug-headed thing that you're riding.
21:03 - Do you mean to tell me that a man, a grown man, in his right mind would prefer a mule to a horse?
21:10 - Well, I ain't so eager in it that I'd try to tell a Johnny Reb anything.
21:15 But now, if you was to ask me, I'd say that a mule could outdo a horse any day of the week.
21:20 - Would you like to back up that loose talk with some hard cash?
21:25 - Well, I sure would like to oblige you, but I promised the general that I wouldn't go taking advantage of any of his greenhorn soldier boys.
21:33 - California, you really mean that? About your mule, I mean?
21:38 - Now, boy, you know I never was one to exaggerate. Ha ha!
21:45 I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll take the commonest old everyday mule that ever come down the pike,
21:50 and it'll be smarter than the best horse you ever saw.
21:53 Did you ever see a mule get spooked and run into anything and cripple himself?
21:57 Oh, by golly!
21:59 - Oh, California, how you do lie!
22:02 Well, you know that dang mule is too darn stupid to be spooked.
22:06 - Now, you see, Rio, this old mule's even smart enough to fool a fella like Bustard.
22:12 Not that that takes no great show of intelligence.
22:15 - California, how you do embroider the facts. Not to mention twisting 'em a bit.
22:20 Now, I got two months' pay due, and I'm willing to bet...
22:23 - If I'd have been him, I would have loved you, Sergeant.
22:26 I'll give you some good advice, trooper.
22:29 Don't bet against a mule, and never bet against California Joe.
22:34 - Now, General, you know once again my principle is to take advantage of my feller man.
22:40 Except if his name's Bustard. Ha ha ha!
22:46 - I'd appreciate a little livelier tune there, Captain.
22:51 - California, your mule's got more principles than you have.
22:59 - Well, here we are. Miles from any hostels.
23:14 You know, General Terry reminds me of some little feller that's always picking a fight with somebody twice his size...
23:22 ...and then insists on fighting him with his good hand behind his back.
23:26 - Now, Joe, you've been around the Army long enough to know that a general's never wrong.
23:31 - Yeah, I guess.
23:33 - Terry's just following orders.
23:37 [Gunshot]
23:39 - You all right, Colonel?
23:52 - Yes, I'm fine.
23:55 - It's a good thing that that Indian missed.
23:59 - That campfire at my back, I was a perfect target.
24:04 - The brave intended to miss me, didn't he, Joe?
24:07 - Well, that's one way of looking at it. However, on the other hand...
24:11 - I'll double the guard.
24:13 - I've never seen an hour like this before.
24:18 - Well, that's 'cause, uh...
24:21 - Go on.
24:23 Cheyenne, of course, but what else does it mean?
24:26 - Well, I reckon you might as well know.
24:29 That's a death error.
24:32 - The chief of the Cheyenne Nation hates another one so bad that, well, one or the other of 'em ain't gonna stay alive much longer.
24:38 Why, he lets this other fella know by sending him one of them fancy medicine errors.
24:44 - Yellowhawk?
24:46 - Didn't see his marks on it.
24:49 - And he's none of them Wichita's at all.
24:53 - Fine to the death.
24:58 - If a man who receives the challenge doesn't accept it...
25:02 - Well, it can't be did, according to Cheyenne thinking.
25:05 A fella that sends that error makes doggone sure of that.
25:09 - How?
25:10 - Well, he generally starts in by killing off the other fella's kinfolks one by one in cold blood.
25:16 And he don't quit till that fella rides out on the prairie and meets him.
25:20 - I see.
25:23 - Course, you ain't a Cheyenne, and you ain't got no family out here to worry about, so that doggone error don't mean a darn thing.
25:32 - I better go take care of that mule and get some shut-eye.
25:38 You better get some sleep yourself, General.

26:54 - Do not harm him.
26:56 - I wish I'd killed you that day at the fort.
27:02 - I'll give you another chance.
27:04 Cut him free.
27:06 Give him your knife.

28:23 - Pull up!
28:25 - Well, Miss Mobs, the rest.
28:29 - Loosen your stitches.
28:31 - One more blast a day upon my seat and that's saddling up.
28:38 Begging the Colonel's pardon.
28:40 - No need to, Sergeant.
28:42 I feel the same way.
28:44 - I think I'll take a look-see up on top, General.
28:47 - I'll go with you, California.
28:49 - Come on.
28:50 [music]
29:00 - That's Tooby's mail wagon.
29:02 [music]
29:11 - What's the matter with you, Tooby?
29:12 You've forgotten your manners?
29:14 [music]
29:30 - He's dead.
29:32 Tooby's dead.
29:34 Just sitting here.
29:39 Dead.
29:41 [music]
29:51 - He rigged him up to sit in the mail wagon and sent him back as a present.
29:55 - How do you know that, General?
29:57 - He stuck this in his glove.
30:01 [music]
30:21 - General, I reckon you know that Jellahawk ain't gonna quit until he forces you out after him.
30:27 - I'd like nothing better than to oblige him.
30:30 But he's a-figuring on picking the time and the place.
30:35 - Sergeant.
30:36 - Yes, sir.
30:38 - Start that team of mules back to Fort Hayes.
30:40 They know the way.
30:41 They won't stop till they get there.
30:44 - Yes, sir.
30:46 - Hi-ya!
30:54 [music]
31:05 - Mount up!
31:07 [music]
31:27 - The smoke!
31:28 - Time to alert!
31:30 [music]
31:46 [music]
32:07 [gunshots]
32:11 - Hold your fire!
32:13 [gunshots]
32:15 - That's Jellahawk!
32:17 [music]
32:20 - Mount up, as you were!
32:23 - Sir, you mean you're not going after that Red Devil?
32:25 - Exactly what he wants us to do.
32:28 Mount the troop and continue the patrol.
32:32 - Prepare to mount!
32:34 [music]
32:45 - Yellowhead, run away!
32:46 She's a coward!
32:47 - He is no coward.
32:49 He's too clever to do what we expect him to do.
32:52 [music]
33:00 - There will be time to continue this game later.
33:02 There's more important work to be done.
33:04 [music]
33:21 - Pull 'em, ho!
33:23 - We'll make camp here tonight.
33:27 - Hey, looky on 'er.
33:29 - That ain't no brush fire.
33:32 - There's a farm over that way.
33:34 - Hey, it's a war party, sure as shootin'.
33:37 - At a gallop!
33:39 Ho!
33:40 [music]
34:06 - Keep an eye open.
34:08 - This was Jocko Maloney's place.
34:11 Wish we could have gotten here sooner.
34:13 [music]
34:30 - It's a little trooper's camp.
34:32 [music]
34:40 - Yellowhawk.
34:42 - This ain't Yellowhawk's shine.
34:44 This here's an old gala suit.
34:46 - Yellowhawk's escaping will touch out every tribe in the plains.
34:51 - Yeah, and it didn't take them two dogs gone long to do it, neither.
34:55 Come here and take a look at this, General.
35:00 - This here's big medicine.
35:02 Now, you read Sioux writing from right to left,
35:05 moving in a circle this way.
35:07 Now, this here's the symbol for Sioux,
35:09 and these two figures here, that means brothers.
35:12 This one here with the marks on it, that means cut arm.
35:15 That's the Sioux word for sham.
35:18 - What does it mean?
35:20 - Well, it means nothing but trouble.
35:23 Here's how it's an invite to join forces in a big fight.
35:28 Now, see this figure here, the one waving?
35:31 That means come.
35:33 This one here, this bow and arrow,
35:36 that means big battle, big fight.
35:38 - Where?
35:39 - Well, let's see now.
35:41 Uh-huh.
35:42 The war bonnet, and this here's a symbol for pass through the mountains.
35:46 War bonnet gorge, that's down in the Wichita's.
35:49 - That's where General Terry was headed.
35:51 And these blue figures?
35:53 - Well, them's soldiers, many soldiers.
35:56 - Why is one upside down?
36:00 - Well, that means soldiers too.
36:02 That's dead soldiers.
36:06 Prepare to mount.
36:08 Company, mount!
36:15 - With the general mind saying where we'd be going.
36:18 - War bonnet gorge, Captain Gill.
36:21 - Ignoring General Terry's orders.
36:23 - Objections, Mr. Gill.
36:26 - Forward and a gallop, ho!
36:30 [music]
36:43 - There.
36:44 There's the column.
36:49 Now, where they're at, the only pass they can get through lies 20 miles to the west of.
36:54 They won't be to war bonnet gorge much for noon tomorrow.
37:00 - Mount up!
37:05 - Yah!
37:20 [music]
37:49 - This looks like as good a place as any to spend the night, General.
37:53 - What's left of it.
37:55 - Sergeant.
37:57 - Yes, my lord.
38:00 [music]
38:09 - How far to war bonnet gorge?
38:11 - Oh, if not more than an hour's ride.
38:15 - Sergeant, we'll make camp here tonight.
38:17 No fire and no noise.
38:20 - Yes, sir.
38:22 - All right, rub down your horses, give them a half a quart of oats and a canteen of water.
38:34 - Everything on your mind, trooper?
38:36 - Yes, sir.
38:38 - What's become?
38:39 - Well, sir, it's about tomorrow.
38:41 - You nervous?
38:42 - Oh, no more than usual.
38:45 - That's quite a bit.
38:47 - I mean, I know what you mean, trooper.
38:50 Between us, I always feel the same way myself.
38:53 - Really?
38:55 - A man without fear is a natural born fool.
38:58 - Yes, sir.
39:04 - I think I'll take a swing around camp.
39:06 I'd like to know who my neighbors are.
39:09 - Well, you got nothing to worry about.
39:11 The way you smell, no self-respecting Sioux would come within 10 miles of you.
39:30 - Hey, General.
39:36 Want to see something plum pretty?
39:38 - That's got to be the biggest Cheyenne camp I ever seen.
39:42 I'll bet there's 2,000, maybe 3,000 braves.
39:46 If they ride through Warbonnet Gorge tomorrow and join forces with the Sioux,
39:50 why, Terry and the Fifth won't have a ghost of a chance.
39:54 Folks back in the States will be reading about the biggest dad-blamed massacre that ever happened.
39:59 - Well, we're going to make sure that they don't get through that gorge
40:02 before the Fifth gets there to stop them.
40:05 - Well, I'll be mighty interested to see how you're going to keep them from it.
40:10 There's only 15 men, 16 counting me.

41:57 And Terry and the Fifth ain't here yet.
41:59 - How near do you think Terry is?
42:01 - Oh, not more than 5, 10 minutes away.
42:03 - You've got to stop them here before they join the Sioux.
42:06 - Take cover in those rocks and fight on foot.

43:35 - We meet for the last time, Custer.
43:37 - You'll murder no more women and children.
43:40 - I'll not keep you waiting.
43:42 - Are you giving me this death arrow the boast of a Cheyenne squaw?
43:47 Or are you warrior enough to fight me alone?

48:15 - I'm not going to ask you why you're here, Colonel Custer.
48:20 I'm only going to say that I am very tired and I'm going to bed.
48:25 And if I find you anywhere but where I assigned you to duty in the morning,
48:30 I am blasted well going to court-martial you.
48:33 - Yes, sir. I mean, no, sir.
48:36 - I intend to cite you and your men for gallantry, Colonel Custer, for what you did here.
48:42 - Thank you, sir.
48:44 - But that doesn't change a thing between us.
48:47 Do you understand me, sir?
48:49 - Yes, sir.
48:52 - Dismissed.
48:54 [music]
49:03 - Sergeant.
49:04 - Mount the troop.
49:05 - With the Colonel of mine telling me what for?
49:07 - Have you forgotten, Sergeant? We have a patrol to finish.
49:10 - Yes, sir.
49:12 - Parade about.
49:17 - About.
49:21 - I think the men could stand a bit of music, Mr. Keel.
49:27 - Forward, ho!
