00:00Well, Colonel, this is the place, the border of Fredonia.
00:27Colonel Custer, I was assured by the Secretary of War that we would have full protection of the military for the railroad survey crews.
00:34Now, I assumed that to mean that we'd have at least a full company of men, not just two.
00:40My orders were to negotiate, not to fight, Mr. Glixon.
00:44No survey crew was ordered to stay out of Fredonia until we got here.
00:48Where are they?
00:50I've got a schedule to keep, Colonel.
00:53You sent them into Fredonia?
00:54That's right.
00:56They're just a bunch of ex-rebels setting themselves up in what they call a new country.
00:59I've got every legal right to be in there, Colonel.
01:02They're blocking progress.
01:04They have rights too, Mr. Glixon.
01:06And I intend to predict theirs just as well as yours.
01:24Well, there's the survey crew.
01:28All right, bring it up a little.
01:45Try it, Colonel.
01:54Get their guns.
02:05Well, there's quite a ways back to the fort, but if they keep moving, they'll make it.
02:09Turn them loose.
02:10All right, take off.
02:11The fort is to the south.
02:17Well, I heard you were around here, but I never expected to run into you,
02:20General George Armstrong Custer, the Scourge of Gettysburg.
02:25You have the advantage, sir.
02:27Indeed I do, and I intend to keep it.
02:30My name is Zebediah Jackson, former captain of the Virginia Regulars,
02:35elected leader of the settlement Fredonia.
02:38What are you going to do with us?
02:40Who are you?
02:41My name is Glixon.
02:42I represent the railroad.
02:44We have legal right of way through this area,
02:46and we're protected by a special act of the United States Congress.
02:49I suggest you keep that in mind.
02:52Well, I'm afraid the special act of the United States Congress won't do you any good out here.
02:57You see, you're no longer in the United States.
03:00So consider yourself my prisoner.
03:03And we have a little riding to do, and I won't warn you again.
03:06You'll only stay alive as long as I allow you to.
03:09I'm out of—
03:10♪♪
03:23At 24, he had been the youngest general in the Civil War.
03:27Within five years, he had been reduced in rank and sent west to be forgotten.
03:31But he was not the kind of man to let the world forget.
03:34His name, George Armstrong Custer.
03:37♪♪
04:02Hut, two, three, four.
04:06To the rear, march.
04:08Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut.
04:15Company, halt.
04:17Left face.
04:21Order arms.
04:24At ease.
04:26See, Colonel, we even have our own army.
04:28Every man in this valley drills a part of each day
04:31while the others work in the field or help build the town.
04:34It'll take more than a homegrown militia to stand up against the government, Johnson.
04:38We've got enough.
04:40Take the sergeant and the civilian and lock them up in the granary.
04:43Hey, now, wait a minute. You can't do that.
04:45Afraid they can, Mr. Clixton. Come on.
04:53Do you remember me, Colonel?
04:55No.
04:57Ain't likely you would.
04:59All that smoke and dirt, cannons firing,
05:02you riding down on us with your cavalry.
05:04You cut my boys to pieces.
05:06You ground them in the dirt.
05:08Where was that?
05:10Appomattox.
05:11There were losses on both sides, mister.
05:13That war's all over now.
05:15No, sir, Colonel.
05:17It ain't over yet.
05:19You're still living and breathing,
05:21but not for long.
05:23Carhu.
05:25There's no room for private vengeance in this valley,
05:28and that goes for all of us.
05:30If they want a fight, they'll have to bring it to us.
05:33Now dismiss your men.
05:36Yes, sir.
05:41Company, attention.
05:43Yes, miss.
05:45Settlement of ex-Confederates trying to secede from the Union again.
05:49You're deceiving yourself if you think you can fight the army, Mr. Jackson.
05:53That's our armory.
05:55We drug cannon all the way out here,
05:57and we got plenty of rifles and ammunition.
05:59Maybe we can't win, but we can fight.
06:02We lost everything back home,
06:04but we're not gonna give up out here.
06:07Come with me.
06:28Hello, Annie.
06:30I'd like you to meet Colonel George Armstrong Custer.
06:33Colonel, my wife.
06:35I'll be at Mrs. Miller's house.
06:41Well, you can't very well blame her, Colonel.
06:43See, your Federal troops burned down her house and killed her father,
06:47so blue isn't one of her favorite colors.
06:53The war was over a long time ago.
06:55No, Colonel.
06:57The shooting stopped,
06:59but it didn't change the things we believed in.
07:01Only a fool lives in the past.
07:04To the victor belongs the spoils.
07:06Well, it makes it easier if you're on the winning side.
07:08The future's bright.
07:10Your future, not mine.
07:12You're wrong, Mr. Jackson.
07:14This country belongs to all of us,
07:16northerner and southerner.
07:18You know, there was a time when I could have agreed with you on that, Colonel.
07:22I was in a Yankee prison camp when the war ended.
07:26It was almost a year later before they turned me loose.
07:29Then they let me make my way back home the best way I could.
07:34There's a word for you.
07:36Home.
07:38You know what I had left?
07:40Nothing.
07:41Sit down, Colonel.
07:43I had a plantation that had been in my family for five generations.
07:47And when I left,
07:49I had a plantation that had been in my family for five generations.
07:52And when I finally got back home,
07:54I found that a Yankee carpetbagger owned it.
07:57There are always men who fatten themselves in the miseries of others.
08:03Colonel, my family were church people.
08:06And all the time we owned that land,
08:09we never once had a slave.
08:11But we made a mistake.
08:13We're on the losing side.
08:14So we lost everything.
08:16But we're gonna start all over again out here,
08:18where a man can teach his sons to believe in the things he believes in.
08:21Tell me something, Mr. Jackson.
08:23What makes you think the Crow are going to let you stay here?
08:26We get along with them.
08:28Better than your blue boys do.
08:30They like us here.
08:31We trade them hard goods in exchange for meat.
08:34So if you're gonna use that as an excuse to protect us, forget it.
08:39You're not being offered a choice.
08:41The railroad has the government's permission to build through here.
08:44And the Army backs up the government's decisions.
08:47You of all people should know that by now.
08:50Custer, you take a good, hard look at that map.
08:54But your life may depend on it.
08:56Come on.
09:00Our boundaries are clearly marked.
09:02If you or your men or the railroad step across that line, I'll have you shot.
09:07Then you better muster your men, Mr. Jackson.
09:10But you make it clear to them what they're fighting for.
09:12Stubbornness, pure and simple.
09:14Stubbornness?
09:16When the railroad comes through here, they'll take part of your land, sure.
09:19But ten years from now, the land you have left will be worth a hundred times as much.
09:25I'll show you and your sergeant, Mr. Glipson, to the boundary.
09:30If you come back again, be ready to fight, Custer.
09:42That's your choice, Mr. Jackson.
09:47Let's go.
10:01We're in for trouble, Mr. Jackson.
10:04Indians?
10:06I don't think it's very likely they'll attack.
10:09We'll take no chances.
10:11All right, dismount and take cover over here.
10:16Let's go.
10:47What are they gonna do?
10:49Are they gonna attack?
10:51No, they're just boys.
10:53They're testing their courage.
10:55They'll charge one at a time.
10:57The boy who places his lance closest to the enemy has the most courage.
11:02You won't need that.
11:04Hold your fire, boys.
11:34Hey!
12:05You've done enough killing for one day, Carr.
12:07You put that knife away. Put it away.
12:10Colonel!
12:12He's dead.
12:18What happens to your treaty with the Crow now?
12:21I'll talk to him.
12:23Explain what happened.
12:24You think he'll listen to you after this?
12:27You're gonna need some help, Mr. Jackson.
12:29You'd take any excuse to bring your troopers in here, wouldn't you?
12:33You can't bluff me, Custer.
12:36You may find yourself in one of the bloodiest Indian wars this country's ever seen.
12:42Mount up!
12:47Mount up, boys.
13:00So that's the way you're gonna play it, Mr. Jackson?
13:02The devil himself couldn't drive us out of here.
13:07All right, you're free to go.
13:09But don't come back again, because if you do, you won't ride out.
13:14And that's a promise, Colonel.
13:18Let's go.
13:29Let's go.
14:00You wanted to see me, sir?
14:08Glutston's entering an official complaint against me.
14:10For what?
14:12Well, he's drawing up a bill of particulars now.
14:14Claims that you didn't protect him.
14:16That you allowed yourself to be disarmed and captured without having fought.
14:21I see.
14:23Are you going to endorse this complaint?
14:25No.
14:26But he'll send it anyway. He does have a friend in Washington.
14:30I know he galls you, Custer, but why can't you work with him?
14:35He's a pompous, arrogant complainer.
14:37Who happens to have the law on his side.
14:40It may seem like an injustice to you that the railroad has a right of way through an improved valley.
14:44But officially, that's none of our business.
14:46Do I make myself clear?
14:48Perfectly.
14:49Fine.
14:50I don't want any chance of a misunderstanding.
14:52As of sunrise tomorrow, Glutston's taking that survey party back up to the settlement of Fredonia.
14:57We're here to select a patrol of ten men from the 7th and accompany them.
15:02What's this patrol supposed to do, sir?
15:04Fight the whole settlement?
15:06Because they're not going to let us set one foot in their valley without a battle.
15:09No, no. There'll be no fighting.
15:11We're faced with a touchy political situation here.
15:15I don't want it to appear as if we're fighting a war.
15:18We're faced with a touchy political situation here.
15:21I don't want it to appear as if my men are being used to start the civil war all over again.
15:25I see.
15:26I'm to protect Glutston and his men.
15:28But I'm not allowed to fight to do it.
15:31That's about like sending me out unarmed to make a treaty with a grizzly bear.
15:35That's about it.
15:37You're to cooperate with Glutston all the way.
15:39That way you're sending me so Glutston will drop his complaint?
15:42No.
15:43I'm sending you because I happen to think that you're the only man in this command who can bring it off.
15:49Good luck, Colonel.
15:57Sergeant Buston.
15:59Yes, sir.
16:04Call for ten volunteers to ride escort for that survey crew tomorrow.
16:08We're going back to Fredonia, sir?
16:10The issue will be rations for six days, field gear and a hundred rounds per man.
16:15What's the matter?
16:16What's the matter?
16:17Did you see anyone out there you knew back in the old days?
16:21No, sir.
16:23But some of the men came from the county next to my home.
16:26It just doesn't seem right somehow.
16:28After all the work they put into that land.
16:31I can always leave you behind if that's what you're asking.
16:33No, sir. I'm not asking that.
16:36I just think there must be a better way to work things out.
16:40If there is, we'll find it.
16:43You have your orders, Sergeant.
16:46Yes, sir.
16:58How are you?
17:01We'll take you as far as the railhead in the morning.
17:04Then you can go back to Virginia.
17:06I'll think about that.
17:09You'll think about it?
17:11I'm not giving you a choice.
17:12You think I'm going to have this settlement burned down because some hothead couldn't follow orders?
17:17Maybe we need a leader who knows what side he's on.
17:19Are you questioning my loyalty?
17:21You had Custer here and you turned him loose.
17:23We should have killed him.
17:25Showed him we mean business.
17:26That's the only way we're going to keep them blue bellies out of here.
17:32If there's any killing to be done, they'll have to push it.
17:34The blood will be on their hands and not mine.
17:37Sam.
17:38Yes.
17:39There are Indians out there.
17:40How many?
17:41Three in the front, two in the back.
17:42I don't know.
17:44Go back inside.
17:51There's no warping.
17:52They came here to talk.
17:54It's Brave Dog.
17:55It was his son you killed this afternoon.
17:58Put that thing away.
18:00They came here to fight.
18:01They never would have let Annie see them.
18:07Hello, Brave Dog.
18:09Come on in.
18:10Go back inside.
18:32Now.
18:34Sit down, Chief.
18:35If you're hungry, my wife will fix you something.
18:37Is this the man who shot my son?
18:40Take him charging down the hill yelling and screaming.
18:44We're not familiar with all of your customs, Chief.
18:47This man thought your son was attacking us, so he shot him.
18:51Now, we've been at peace for a long time.
18:54And we wouldn't do anything to break that peace on purpose.
18:59I had...
19:03I had but one son.
19:07Now, we're willing to make reparations.
19:10You, uh...
19:11You tell us what to do.
19:12We'll do it.
19:14How many beads was my son worth?
19:16How many blankets?
19:18No.
19:20A man for a man.
19:23He killed my son.
19:25You give him to us.
19:28Oh, no.
19:29No.
19:30I'm not gonna be turned over to any...
19:31Shut up!
19:34You've asked for the one thing we can't give you.
19:36We can give you.
19:38You've seen enough of us to know our customs.
19:42You have one day to think about it.
19:45With the next son, we will come for him.
19:48If he is given to us, we will go in peace.
19:52If he is not, then we will take him.
19:57And that is the word of the Chief of the Crow Nation.
20:06Let's go.
20:17Wait, no!
20:25Captain.
20:27Maybe you're right.
20:29I'll hightail it out of here first thing in the morning.
20:31You wouldn't have a chance.
20:33They have you hanging by your heels before noon.
20:35I'll be there.
20:39You can't hand me over to him.
20:41I won't.
20:42Now, you go home. We'll talk tomorrow.
20:55You're, uh...
20:57Sure you won't have a drink, General?
20:58Of course, sir.
20:59You got everything you want here, huh?
21:00Yes, yes, thank you.
21:01I want you to know that I'm gonna put in a good word for you
21:03when I write my next report to Washington.
21:06Good night.
21:07Good night, General.
21:14You men better get some sleep. You're gonna need it.
21:16We'll be leaving at dawn.
21:21Ah, Mr. Quicksand.
21:27May I talk to you?
21:29Certainly, you're right ahead of it.
21:30It's about those people in Fredonia.
21:32Well, what about them?
21:34Well, I know this country like the back of my hand.
21:36And you don't have to carry that railroad through Fredonia.
21:39There's a pass just 30 miles south, flat as a tabletop.
21:41Good water, too.
21:42Sergeant Sanders, listen to me, will you?
21:44I take my pay in land.
21:47Now, uh, let's just say I was to route the railroad to the sound.
21:52What do you think I'd get for my trouble?
21:53Oh, a handful of dust, maybe.
21:56But now if I go through...
21:57Well, you don't know those people like I do.
21:59They lost everything in the war.
22:01Not just their crops or their homes.
22:04But everything.
22:05Well, that's their tough luck, Sergeant.
22:07I... I do everything nice and legal.
22:10All according to the law, Sergeant.
22:13And you don't care what happens to those people.
22:15Aw, man, come on.
22:17Why concern yourself with them?
22:20You saw the light.
22:21You turned in your gray coat for a blue one.
22:24Now, I go on feeling sorry for a bunch of redneck crackers
22:27who are sitting on land that doesn't belong to them.
22:29All right, will you listen to me, carpetbagger?
22:31Those are human beings out there.
22:34And they hurt just like anybody else.
22:35And if you push them too far, they're gonna fight.
22:38And I'm telling you now,
22:40that no matter what happens,
22:43you ain't gonna win.
22:50I wouldn't dirty my hands on you.
22:57That turncoat's gonna push me around.
23:28Ah!
23:43Ten-hut! Ten-hut!
23:52Let me go!
23:54Let me go!
23:55Let me go!
23:59Carvel to the guard!
24:02Ten-hut!
24:04That's enough, Sergeant.
24:06Now, you come to attention.
24:09Now, would anyone mind telling me what's going on here?
24:14That man attacked me without provocation.
24:17I want him locked up.
24:19And I want to see him punished.
24:21What have you got to say for yourself, Sergeant?
24:23Nothing.
24:24Nothing that'll make any difference.
24:28Take him to the guardhouse.
24:34Colonel Christ!
24:38I'm gonna hold you responsible for that man's punishment.
24:52How many does that make?
24:54Nine, sir.
24:55Add one more.
24:57Only one, sir?
24:58Sergeant... Ex-Sergeant Bustard's a big man, sir.
25:01He's still not a horse, Mr. Hagan.
25:03Don't fool me.
25:05You will save your comments, Mr. Hagan.
25:07Yes, sir.
25:09Colonel!
25:14I'd like to ask you a question.
25:17You've got to let me go on that detail in the morning, sir.
25:19I don't think you'd be too anxious to climb in the saddle after marching with this load.
25:23Don't worry, sir. I'll be ready.
25:26Tell me something, Sergeant.
25:28Did Glicksten provoke that fight?
25:32Well, sir, uh...
25:34That carpetbagger got to crowing about how he was gonna take that land from the settlers and...
25:39Well, things just got out of hand.
25:43All right, you can come along.
25:45But you stay away from Glicksten.
25:46Because if things get out of hand again,
25:48he'll be taking your mail and your meals in the guardhouse.
25:52Yes, sir.
25:55Your punishment will be six hours marching with that load.
25:58Keep him moving.
26:05All right, Hagan.
26:08Let's go.
26:16Let's go.
26:26Hagan.
26:27Sir.
26:29You'll be acting sergeant of this column.
26:31Me, sir?
26:32Yes, sir.
26:34Keep the men in a tight, close formation.
26:37You'd better move out.
26:39Yes, sir.
26:41Don't look so stupid, Hagan.
26:44The command is column by twos, forward, ho.
26:47I know the proper command. I've worn three stripes before.
26:50And lost them just as quick.
26:54Column by twos, forward, ho.
27:10Colonel.
27:15I want to camp here at Iron Springs tonight.
27:18And survey the right-of-way north of there.
27:21Sergeant Hagan.
27:22Yes, sir.
27:28There's a draw on the far side of the Fredonia Valley.
27:31What's it like?
27:33It's hard to say, sir.
27:35But it looks like it.
27:37It looks like it.
27:39It looks like it.
27:41It looks like it.
27:43It looks like it.
27:45It looks like it.
27:47It looks like it.
27:48It looks like it.
27:50I don't know, sir.
27:52There's nothing but loose sand up there, Colonel.
27:54Not enough cover to hide a snake.
27:56Couldn't get a wagon through there if you tried.
27:58Now, if I was to do it...
27:59I was speaking to the sergeant, Corporal.
28:03Yes, sir.
28:05You'd better approach it from the front.
28:08Company, Colonel.
28:21Hey, homie.
28:28We have come to talk.
28:32Tell the men to stand easy, Sergeant.
28:33I don't want any incidents.
28:34Yes, sir.
28:35At ease.
28:37I'm always happy to speak with Brave Dog,
28:39Chief of the Crow Nation.
28:41Hmm.
28:42I've heard a lot about you, Sergeant.
28:44I've heard a lot about you, Sergeant.
28:46I've heard a lot about you, Sergeant.
28:47I've heard a lot about you, Sergeant.
28:48I've heard a lot about you, Sergeant.
28:49Hmm.
28:50I will speak plainly.
28:53You take your blue soldiers to the north.
28:55To the settlement of Fredonia.
28:57Hmm.
28:58You were there.
28:59You saw the death of my son.
29:02I saw it.
29:03I would have stopped it if I could have.
29:05Hmm.
29:06I believe you.
29:08You take your soldiers there
29:09for them to help fight the Crow people?
29:12We have no fight with you.
29:14Then I ask you,
29:15rest your horses here for a day.
29:17The grass is good here.
29:19Hold on there.
29:21You trying to tell us to stay away from Fredonia?
29:23The Crow do not tell the blue soldiers what to do.
29:26But the grass is high here.
29:29It is better that you stay.
29:32Tell me.
29:48That Indian is going to raise old Ned with Fredonia.
29:51Unless he gets the man who killed his son.
29:53And that's for sure, Colonel.
29:55But he does not want the army involved
29:57or he would not have come here.
29:59Colonel, appears to me that
30:01you have not got any problem at all.
30:03I mean, this is not your fight.
30:05Now, if you were to do, as the chief suggests,
30:07and stay here for a day,
30:10you would not have no problem at all.
30:13This is your fight.
30:14He wouldn't have no problem at all.
30:17Sergeant Hagen. Yes, sir.
30:19Prepare the men. We'll make a force march to the north.
30:22I intend to make camp on the border of Fredonia by dawn.
30:26You're not going on.
30:29You have a question, Sergeant? No, sir.
30:32All right, men. Nona, Rio, get that wagon out of here.
30:35Boys, gentlemen, get this wagon going.
30:37I'm begging the colonel's pardon,
30:39but you're getting yourself into the middle of a hornet's nest.
30:42That's what we're here for.
30:45Now, settle up, corporal.
30:48Yes, sir.
31:12Columns, halt!
31:21Sergeant Hagen. Sir.
31:24It's 11 hours before dawn.
31:27We'll bivouac here.
31:29Pick up the horses and have the men ready to move out on foot.
31:32Yes, sir.
31:42Colonel, the men are ready to move out.
31:45The settlement's starting to wake up.
31:48We haven't much time.
31:54Corporal Buster. Yo!
31:57I want you in on this. Yes, sir.
32:02The settlement is laid out roughly like this.
32:05Jackson's quarters, the granary, and the armory.
32:09Granary we can use for cover.
32:12You mean you're going to attack Fredonia?
32:15We're going to take Fredonia.
32:17A silent raid at daybreak.
32:20Sergeant Hagen,
32:22you take four men around the left flank and secure the armory.
32:25I'll take four men around the right
32:27and catch Jackson before he can organize resistance.
32:30There'll be no killing. That's an order.
32:34You're not gonna take that town without killing.
32:37I know those men better than you do.
32:40Begging the colonel's pardon,
32:42I think we're asking for a heap of trouble.
32:44You think we should call the whole thing off?
32:47Yes, sir. That's my opinion.
32:49I don't like the position we're in.
32:51And for what? A carpet-bagging civilian
32:54who would be glad to see your hide nailed to the wall if he could muster it.
32:58This isn't for Glicksten. Not anymore.
33:01Well, then, who for?
33:03There are a hundred stubborn, bitter families in that settlement.
33:07Women, children, and men all awaiting a massacre.
33:10Now, I'd say that's worth the risk.
33:13Wouldn't you?
33:15Sergeant, get your men ready.
33:18Yes, sir.
33:21Colonel Preston,
33:23may I ask you what provisions you've made to protect me and my men?
33:27Don't worry, Mr. Glicksten. You won't be in any danger.
33:30You're staying here.
33:32After we've secured the town, I'll send a man back for you.
33:35Sergeant Haven, I saw Buster heading for town and fast.
33:42Can I see you alone?
33:44No.
33:47Can I see you alone, Colonel?
33:49Speak up, Sergeant. We don't have any secrets from Mr. Glicksten.
33:53Yes, sir. Rio saw Buster heading for Fedonia and fast.
33:58Well, don't you see what's happening, Colonel?
34:01Buster's deserted.
34:03Jackson's gonna be waiting for you. He'll cut you to pieces.
34:07Sergeant, there'll be a slight alteration in plans.
34:10I'll take care of Jackson. You get the men to the position.
34:13I'll take care of Jackson. You get the men to the position.
34:16Take the armory, and every townsman you see, lock them up in the grain shed.
34:19Yes, sir.
34:21Remember, you wait here.
34:27Sergeant Hagen, good luck.
34:30Good luck to you, sir.
34:32Keep low and not a sound.
34:43Keep low and not a sound.
35:13Keep low and not a sound.
35:43Keep low and not a sound.
36:08Colonel, I have the men deployed throughout the town.
36:11Very good, Hagen.
36:13Don't shoot, Colonel. It's me, Bustard.
36:15Take your position.
36:17Where have you been, Bustard? You were under orders.
36:19I'm sorry, Colonel, but I had to make sure we could do it.
36:22And it's a good thing I did, too. They're ready for a fight.
36:25They moved the women and the children into the root cellar.
36:28Jackson shifted the weapons into the grain shed and put men into the armory, just in case.
36:34I almost had you posted as a deserter, Corporal.
36:37Not me, Colonel. I know where I belong.
36:40You help Hagen scale the town.
36:42I'll get Jackson.
36:44Yes, sir.
37:00Hold it.
37:03Like it or not, Mr. Jackson, we're going to help you.
37:06Right now, my troopers are taking prisoner every man in Fredonia.
37:09And you're coming along with me to make sure they cooperate.
37:12All right, Colonel.
37:36Come on.
37:58Follow me.
38:07Come on.
38:14All right. Outside.
38:17Come on.
38:36Come on. Move along.
38:38Get into the barn.
38:40Come on. Move. Let's go.
38:48Move.
39:06Get in.
39:08Come on. Move.
39:18Sergeant Hagen.
39:20Yes, sir.
39:22The women and children are to remain inside.
39:24Send a man back to pick up the wagon, Glickston, and his men. Hurry.
39:27Yes, sir.
39:29Colonel, the grain shed is secured. The prisoners and the weapons are in there.
39:32Good. Break out the cannon, Corporal.
39:34Do I load it with solid shot or explosive, sir?
39:36You find some pico in the blacksmith's shop.
39:38Wet it down and load a cannon with it.
39:40Pico, sir? But that won't stop anybody.
39:42Bravedog's warriors won't know that.
39:44I don't want to kill any more than I have to.
39:46Just in case things get rough, load them with solid shot.
39:49Yes, sir.
39:51Rio!
39:53Let me ask you something, Colonel.
39:55If we were Yankee carpetbaggers instead of Johnny Rebs, would you still do the same thing?
39:59Exactly the same, Mr. Jackson.
40:01It isn't over, Colonel. That I promise you.
40:04The crow let us live past this morning.
40:07We'll argue that point.
40:15Move along!
40:17Buster.
40:19Place those cannons over there by that new building.
40:21Barricade them with anything you can find. On the double.
40:24Yes, sir.
40:25Colonel, don't you think those cannons would be more effective out by the edge of town?
40:28The cannon won't do us any good at all until the crow are right down our throats.
40:32I want them aimed on the center of the street.
40:34Jackson, when they attack, I'm going to need all the firepower I can get.
40:38If you give me a word that your men won't cause us any trouble, I'll arm them.
40:43Colonel, here they come.
40:53Colonel, about those guns.
40:56You just made yourself a deal.
40:58Fine. Open up.
41:02All right, you men.
41:04Mr. Jackson's given me his word you won't cause any trouble if we give you back your weapons.
41:09You think I'll take all of us from this blue belly?
41:11Yes, you will, and that goes for all of us.
41:14Sergeant Hagan.
41:15Yes, sir.
41:16Take out their weapons.
41:17Yes, sir.
41:23You're not going to keep your word to that blue belly.
41:25I am.
41:26You follow orders and keep your mouth shut.
41:34Lieutenant, are the cannons primed and ready?
41:36Primed and ready, sir.
41:37Set the igniters and stand by.
41:39Mr. Jackson, place your men on both sides of the street.
41:42Draw their fire from here.
41:43Tell them not to shoot until they're sure of their targets.
41:45All right, boys. Take both sides of the street.
41:47Don't fire until you're sure of your targets.
41:49Come on, let's roll.
41:50As long as you get on this other side of the gate.
42:01Prepare for attack.
42:03Fire!
42:09Fire!
42:19Fire!
42:40Fire!
42:47Hey!
43:09Fire!
43:34Hold your fire!
43:35Fire!
43:38Fire!
44:05Fire!
44:10Cease fire!
44:29They'll be back.
44:32Constable.
44:35You tried and I'll blow a hole in him.
44:37Drop that rifle, Carhue.
44:40And that's an order.
44:41No more orders.
44:42Not from a Yankee lover like you.
44:45This is between him and me.
44:47You may have the others, Buffalo, but not me.
44:51You ground my boys into the dust and you're going to pay, Custer.
44:56Get down in the dirt.
44:58I want to see you crawl.
45:00If I could bring one of those boys back from the dead, yours or mine,
45:04I'd crawl from here to Denver.
45:07But that war's over now.
45:10Put that rifle away.
45:12I'm going to shoot you.
45:14And I'm going to watch you die.
45:16Slow.
45:21Carhue, come back!
45:25Carhue, come back!
45:34Carhue!
45:59They've been satisfied.
46:01I don't think they'll bother you anymore.
46:03Carhue, it wasn't like that, Colonel.
46:05Not all the time. I just wanted you to know that.
46:08The war changed them.
46:10Changed us all.
46:12Tell me something, Colonel.
46:14You could have ridden off.
46:17And the Indians would have solved your problem for you.
46:20Why'd you stay?
46:22Any citizen of the United States is entitled to protection.
46:26And you're a citizen of this country.
46:29Whether you like it or not.
46:33Yeah, I guess we are.
46:36Colonel Custer!
46:41Colonel Custer,
46:43I demand you inform these people that any act of aggression against the railroad will be severely punished.
46:48I think you better let the matter rest, Mr. Clifston.
46:51Look, Colonel, you're still assigned to me and my railroad survey crew.
46:55And I insist on full protection from these land grabbers.
46:59There'll be no land grabbing around here.
47:00I intend to see that a deputy U.S. Marshal is assigned to Fredonia.
47:05Until such time that a city government can be formed.
47:08We protect your rights and theirs.
47:11U.S. Marshal?
47:13Now look here, Colonel.
47:22Looks like Mr. Clifston fell off his horse.
47:25That's the way it looks to me, Colonel.
47:31Mount up, Sergeant.
47:35Sergeant?
47:37Yes, sir.
47:39Thank you, sir.
47:45Move them out.
47:47Forward!
47:49Halt!
48:01I want that sign taken down and another one put up.
48:04Not Free State.
48:06Fredonia.
48:08Get some boys together and help that railroad crew get started.
48:11The sooner that railroad comes through here, the sooner we're gonna grow.
