00:00 [MUSIC]
00:25 Keep coming! Ha!
00:28 Watch out for them red devils!
00:38 For the gallant, ho!
00:52 [MUSIC]
01:02 Look at that, fellas. We finally got help from the cavalry.
01:17 A little late, I'd say.
01:20 [MUSIC]
01:30 Column, halt!
01:46 Prepare to dismount!
01:49 Dismount!
01:51 Custer, seventh cavalry out of Fort Hayes.
01:56 Ain't you the one they call the boy general?
02:08 It's Colonel now, Mr...
02:11 Teller, Kermer Teller, from Cross Plains, Texas.
02:15 I'm trail boss of this outfit.
02:18 What there is left of it.
02:20 We come all the way from Texas just to get here again,
02:23 not three miles from the cavalry fort.
02:25 But what happened to that escort I was supposed to have?
02:28 You brought the herd in a week ahead of schedule.
02:31 The sooner I bring 'em in, the sooner I get paid.
02:34 General Terry was planning to meet you at the river.
02:37 I lost two of my men to the Indians at the river.
02:40 You should have sent your scout ahead to the fort.
02:42 I did. We found him this morning with an arrow in the side of his jaw.
02:47 It's a hard country to hold on to, Mr. Teller.
02:49 The cavalry can be everywhere.
02:52 I'd be impressed if they was anywhere they was needed.
02:58 We'll escort you the rest of the way to Fort Hayes.
03:04 Oh, that'd be real nice.
03:07 The cavalry can't handle the Indians, but they sure got good manners.
03:15 Don't count on it, Mr. Teller.
03:17 At 24, he had been the youngest general in the Civil War.
03:39 Within five years, he had been reduced in rank and sent west to be forgotten.
03:44 But he was not the kind of man to let the world forget.
03:46 His name, George Armstrong Custer.
03:49 [music]
04:14 [music]
04:33 Crazy horse.
04:35 Are you sure, Colonel?
04:37 We found the body of one of his braves.
04:39 At that burned out farm.
04:42 Two days ago.
04:44 He hasn't raided this far south in months.
04:47 We'll never have a better chance, General.
04:49 Let me track him down now, today, while he's still close.
04:52 Custer, resign yourself and your men to one irrevocable fact.
04:57 There will be no trails of glory for the 7th, leading from this fort.
05:02 Out of my way, soldier boy. I ain't in the seat of the General.
05:08 Your paymaster refuses to pay me for the cattle I delivered.
05:11 The paymaster is acting under my orders, Mr. Teller.
05:14 Twelve hundred steers, two hundred horses.
05:16 Delivered and standing out in front of your fort.
05:19 Now, I got a contract here.
05:21 Says the U.S. Cavalry owes me $18 a head.
05:23 That's $21,600. Not counting the $4,000 for them nags.
05:28 Your arithmetic is excellent, Mr. Teller.
05:30 Your sense of direction is not.
05:32 That contract specifically states that those cattle are to be delivered to Fort Wallace.
05:37 A hundred and ten miles west of here.
05:39 Yeah, I know that. But it can't be done.
05:42 Why not? It's open country. Find plenty of graze and water.
05:46 Well, that don't do me no good.
05:48 What with stampedes, fever, and the Indians killing off my drovers,
05:52 I got nine men left that ain't quit or run off.
05:55 Me and a few drovers can't drive twelve hundred head across that much Indian country.
05:59 You'll have to. Without those cattle, Fort Wallace would have to be abandoned for the winter.
06:05 The U.S. Cavalry's prepared to give you full assistance, Mr. Teller.
06:08 You mean him?
06:13 I'm assigning Colonel Custer and his men to help you get those cows to Fort Wallace.
06:17 My men aren't trained for herding cattle.
06:19 As you were, Colonel.
06:21 Now, I got something to say about it, even if he don't.
06:24 Until those cattle are delivered, there'll be no payment.
06:33 Colonel, you'll make immediate preparations to begin the drive.
06:35 Yes, sir.
06:37 Mr. Teller, as trail boss, the welfare of your drovers and the cattle will remain your direct responsibility.
06:42 However, Colonel Custer will take care of any military contingencies that may arise.
06:47 I hope there'll be mutual understanding.
06:50 Now, let me get this straight, General.
06:52 Are you saying I'm still bossing my herd?
06:55 'Cause if you ain't, you can take this here military contingency and...
06:59 My men will not take orders from a civilian, General.
07:02 You'll take orders from the devil himself if I tell you to.
07:05 I never met a soldier boy yet who was willing to work,
07:10 offering me the help of your spit-and-polish horse soldiers.
07:14 My men will do any work they're ordered to.
07:16 I bet they will.
07:18 That's enough from both of you.
07:20 That's an order, Custer.
07:22 Now, you can order your soldier boys around all you want to, General.
07:24 You want to get paid for those cattle or don't you?
07:27 Oh, you took the words right out of my mouth.
07:31 With the General's permission, sir, I'll see to my men.
07:34 Granted.
07:36 Sir.
07:38 Coming, Mr. Teller?
07:44 Is that all right, Sarge?
08:05 Keep it going, Lawson. We got a lot to do.
08:07 All right, horse soldiers, there's another wagon to load.
08:13 And now we got a nursemaid and a bunch of cows.
08:15 What's the matter, Sarge?
08:17 Didn't you never herd no cows when you was riding with J.E.B. Stewart
08:21 in the 1st Virginia Cavalry?
08:23 Now, I appreciate your asking that, California.
08:27 Now, listen to me, you scot, you sly-winder.
08:30 Hey, why can't you horse civilians just god damn their feelings?
08:33 At your word, Sergeant.
08:35 Thank you, General.
08:42 Carry on, Sergeant.
08:43 All right, you saddle dusters, get to moving.
08:48 Teller.
08:50 Yeah.
08:52 We'll leave in 15 minutes.
08:54 I'll be ready.
08:56 You could use a new saddle bag.
09:01 Inventory, 5th Michigan.
09:09 Good outfit.
09:10 I was with the 5th Michigan Cavalry myself.
09:13 I know where you was, General.
09:16 Glory Rider, that's what I call the cavalry.
09:21 Sitting pillow soft in your saddle
09:23 and waving them pretty silver swords.
09:26 You don't even get your boots dirty.
09:28 The cavalry had a war to fight too.
09:30 Yeah, well, you hardly even know it.
09:33 We was pinned down at Yellow River,
09:35 and we were just getting ready to go.
09:38 We was pinned down at Yellow Tavern,
09:39 crawling from mud hole to mud hole like pigs in a waller,
09:42 waiting for you and your fancy pants horse soldiers
09:45 to come and relieve us.
09:47 We'd be there yet if we hadn't fought our way out,
09:49 with no help from you.
09:51 We suffered 40% casualties at Yellow Tavern.
09:54 Mount up, Mr. Teller.
09:56 We've got 1,200 steers to deliver.
10:00 Oh, boy.
10:01 You know, General,
10:07 deep down inside him,
10:10 that Teller's probably got a friendly streak in him somewhere.
10:13 You make a good scout, Joe,
10:17 but a rotten missionary.

11:30 - Fly wagon stopped and the barrels open.
11:32 I'll take anyone's place who wants to fill his canteen.
11:35 (horse whinnies)
11:37 Won't stop again until we make camp tonight.
11:39 (horse whinnies)
11:41 There's enough dust back here already
11:43 without letting anything else stick in your craw.
11:45 Don't make it any rougher on yourselves, men.
11:48 (dramatic music)

11:53 (men shouting)
11:55 (dramatic music)
11:57 (men shouting)
11:59 (dramatic music)
12:01 - I can see you soldier boys do love cows.
12:03 - Yeah, we're real partial to 'em.
12:05 - On a plate, well done.
12:07 (chuckles)
12:09 - Well, you keep them beebs closing and moving.
12:11 Now you're gonna be back on track
12:13 eating dirt with the others.
12:15 - Yes, sir, my lord.
12:17 - Yes, sir, Mr. Trail Boss.
12:18 U.S. Cavalry at your service.

12:32 (dramatic music)
12:34 - Keller, four of my troopers are riding drag.
12:39 Yours seem to be breathing mostly fresh air.
12:43 - My drovers are experienced.
12:46 And I'll put 'em where I think they do the most good.
12:48 - From now on, Keller,
12:52 my men start rotating with your drovers.
12:55 - Are you trying to tell me how to run my outfit?
12:59 - I will, if it's necessary.
13:02 - You know, it's funny how we ain't seen
13:05 no fresh Indian sign.
13:07 (dramatic music)
13:09 (horses galloping)

13:13 (horses galloping)
13:15 (dramatic music)
13:16 (horses galloping)
13:18 (dramatic music)
13:20 - And now we fight, kill all horse soldiers.
13:23 - No, not now, but soon.
13:27 - And Yellow Hair?
13:29 - He will die too, but not quickly.
13:31 (dramatic music)
13:33 Yellow Hair is a tree in the wind.
13:35 He will bend, and then he will break.
13:38 (dramatic music)

14:18 - You know that Texan ain't the most lovable man
14:21 I ever run into.
14:23 He's got more barbs in him than a cactus bush.
14:26 - Just about as irritating too.
14:28 - Me being a civilian, more or less,
14:31 not under General Terry's thumb,
14:33 maybe I could just pluck a few of them barbs out of him.
14:37 - You'll do nothing of the kind.
14:39 I promised myself that little thing.
14:42 I promised myself that little pleasure
14:43 when this kettle drives over.
14:45 (men shouting)
14:47 (men shouting)
14:49 (men shouting)
14:51 (men shouting)
14:53 - Andele, get them steers.
14:55 (men shouting)
14:57 (horn honking)
14:59 Andele!
15:01 (horn honking)
15:03 (men shouting)
15:05 (horn honking)
15:07 (men shouting)
15:10 - Anybody see any cows come through here?
15:12 - What happened, trooper?
15:14 - Don't know, sir.
15:16 I was riding on the edge of the herd
15:19 when all of a sudden some cows just up
15:21 and broke for the hills.
15:23 - You ain't got no idea what made 'em jump.
15:25 - The trooper said he didn't.
15:27 - Well, then it's about time somebody
15:29 learned him a lesson about cattle.
15:31 Cows get spooky at night.
15:33 They don't like sudden noises.
15:35 (cows mooing)
15:37 (cows mooing)
15:39 (gunshot)
15:40 - Particularly that kind.
15:43 Now you soldier boys better leave you play pretties
15:46 in the wagon before you go riding Nighthawk on my herd.
15:49 - At ease, trooper.
15:54 Pick up your gear.
15:56 - Yes, sir.
16:00 (bell ringing)
16:02 - Come on.
16:04 (bell ringing)
16:07 (bell ringing)
16:08 - Your lesson on cattle, Mr. Teller,
16:12 was very interesting.
16:14 I'm sure my men will remember it.
16:16 - They better.
16:18 - But it does leave one question unanswered.
16:20 - Oh, yeah, what's that?
16:22 - Who teaches you your lesson?
16:25 - Is that an offer?
16:30 - That, Mr. Teller, is a request.
16:34 (dramatic music)
16:35 - That's it, General.
16:45 - Get him, Colonel.
16:48 (dramatic music)
16:50 - Get him, Colonel, get him.
17:03 (dramatic music)
17:04 - Yahoo!
17:07 - Get down, take cover.
17:12 (gunshots)
17:14 (gunshots)
17:19 (gunshots)
17:24 (gunshots)
17:31 (gunshots)
17:32 - Rio, put out those fires, we're setting targets.
17:42 (dramatic music)
17:44 (gunshots)
17:47 (gunshots)
17:51 (cow mooing)
18:00 - The herd's getting ready to stampede.
18:01 Hold your fire.
18:04 (gunshots)
18:06 - Easy, settle down.
18:15 - Oh, Gladys, I'm sorry.
18:28 - Oh, Gladys, Sue.
18:29 - Crazy horse.
18:32 This is what he does best, hit hard and run.
18:35 - So what are we supposed to do,
18:37 sit here and let him pick us off?
18:38 - Oh, I don't reckon he'll be back.
18:40 Least ways not tonight.
18:42 Them Indians ain't none too partial
18:45 to fighting after sundown.
18:47 - Well, I think the cavalry ought to go get him.
18:50 - Crazy horse would like that.
18:52 Run us into a trap when we can't see him.
18:54 - Them Indians almost stampeded my herd.
18:58 - Point is, Mr. Tiller, they didn't.
18:59 That means Crazy horse wants these cattle.
19:01 He'll pick his time and his place.
19:03 - Oh, is that the way you're gonna fight him, General?
19:06 His time and his place?
19:08 I'm finally learning how to cavalry fights.
19:10 - Mr. Tiller, your education is just beginning.
19:13 (dramatic music)
19:18 (dogs barking)
19:27 (dramatic music)
19:28 - When was the last time you checked these men, Trooper?
19:38 - Well, we've been moving steady, sir,
19:40 and haven't had a chance to stop 'em.
19:42 - Well, you've got a chance now.
19:44 Stay right there, hand me that catty.
19:46 - Yes, sir.
19:48 - Whoa.
19:53 (dramatic music)
19:54 - He died about an hour ago, sir.
20:06 That's the way it's gonna end.
20:13 Ain't it, Colonel?
20:17 Crazy horse is gonna...
20:20 Whittle us down, one at a time.
20:21 - Not if I can help it, Lawson.
20:26 Rest easy.
20:28 (dramatic music)
20:30 - I gave strict orders for the wagons
20:38 to keep up with the herd.
20:40 Why is this stopped?
20:42 - Because I stopped it.
20:44 Sergeant, bring out some shovels and form a bearing detail.
20:46 - Both of them?
20:49 - Corporal Martin.
20:50 Lawson's gonna make it.
20:52 - Take it easy, Lawson.
20:55 You finally pulled yourself some soft duty.
20:57 I'll go get the men, sir.
20:59 - I can't stop the herd for no bearing.
21:04 - You won't have to stop the herd.
21:06 - I lost plenty of men myself to the Indians, you know.
21:09 - I heard you report to General Terry.
21:11 - Didn't have no time to give them no fancy funeral.
21:14 - A trooper was killed defending your herd.
21:16 - I'm not gonna let that happen.
21:18 - A trooper was killed defending your herd and your drovers.
21:19 And that trooper's gonna receive a military burial.
21:21 It may have to be quick, but it'll be proper.
21:24 - Well, there's nothing I can do.
21:27 - You're wrong, Mr. Teller.
21:29 You could offer the loan of your Bible.

24:36 (dramatic music)
24:38 - You got here too late for the Indians
24:40 and too early for a funeral.
24:42 - I thought a trail boss was supposed to stay with his herd.
24:45 - Them savages ain't gonna steal none of my steers.
24:48 (horse snorting)
24:51 - You sure picked a hard way to make your point, didn't you?
24:53 - Joe, see that that steer gets back to the herd.
24:56 - Yes sir, General.
24:58 - Sergeant, see that Mr. Teller gets to the supply wagon.
25:01 You ride with the troop of Lawson.
25:03 - Yes sir.
25:05 - Ain't nobody gonna wet nurse me.
25:08 (water splashing)
25:11 (water splashing)
25:12 - I'm still running this, sir.
25:23 (dramatic music)
25:25 - Sergeant, you'll bear witness.
25:30 As of now, I'm taking charge of this cattle drive.
25:33 (dramatic music)
25:35 (dramatic music)
25:40 (dramatic music)
25:41 (dramatic music)
25:45 (soldiers shouting)
25:52 - Get that wagon moving!
25:59 Move 'em out!
26:01 - Country Sloan is down, California.
26:08 Can't move any faster than those wagons.
26:10 (soldiers grunting)
26:12 - Whoa!
26:15 Keep moving.
26:17 The Indians would just love to catch us
26:19 straggling along behind the herd.
26:21 Get going.
26:23 (horse snorting)
26:25 - Here, soldier, have a drink.
26:29 - Yeah, that's what I've been thinking.
26:36 You know, it's too bad Crazy Horse ain't traveling in wagons.
26:38 The way it is, he can circle us twice
26:40 while we're just getting 'em lined out.
26:42 - Want some of the men to help you scout?
26:44 I mean, considering the terrain.
26:46 - As rough as it is, you'll need all the boys you got
26:49 just to keep the herd together.
26:51 Don't you worry, I'll handle the scouting.
26:53 - Indians closing in, you think?
26:56 - I don't know, it's hard to tell.
26:58 I don't see any more Indians than usual,
27:01 but of course you never do.
27:05 - How's that?
27:06 - Well, me on this old mule,
27:08 they know where I'm at all the time.
27:10 I'm pretty easy to spot.
27:12 The only Indians I see is the ones they want me to.
27:15 - That doesn't make any sense.
27:18 - You'd be surprised, it works out pretty good.
27:20 Come on.
27:23 (cows mooing)
27:26 - Close in and keep that herd moving.
27:31 (cows mooing)
27:34 - Goll dang, you buck caros sure know
27:35 how to slip around them sands.
27:38 (cows mooing)
27:40 - Hurry up!
27:56 (horses galloping)
27:58 - Come on, let's go!
28:00 - Come on, let's go!
28:03 - Trouble coming in on flank side.
28:04 - Hey there Indians General,
28:22 all they're looking for is a handout.
28:24 - Then we'll give 'em one, rope or stool.
28:30 - All due respect sir, I don't think the men's
28:31 gonna take too kindly to feeding one batch of Indians
28:33 while there's another bunch of wheat nuts
28:35 on her to cut her throat.
28:37 - Big hands are friendly.
28:39 - Sure looks like I wasted myself
28:43 a couple of good ones full of air.
28:45 - Hold it, hold it.
28:50 - What's that boy General doing with my steers?
28:53 - Come on, get going!
28:57 - Yeah.
29:00 (horses galloping)
29:01 - Hey look here Custard,
29:09 you ain't giving my steers away to no Indians.
29:11 - The army has a treaty with these Indians.
29:14 They're hungry and I intend to feed them.
29:16 - Well the army don't own this herd,
29:19 not until it's paid for.
29:21 - You'll be paid.
29:23 - Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought
29:25 back at Fort Hayes.
29:28 - Well my Mexicanos ain't giving away no beef.
29:29 Them steers is worth $18 a piece.
29:33 - $20 gold.
29:38 You owe me $2 change.
29:44 (laughing)
29:48 I'll expect to settle up when we get to Fort Wallace.
29:50 - You can count on that.
29:53 (dramatic music)
29:56 (dramatic music)
29:57 - Hey Andele, get away, go on!
29:59 - Sergeant, put the men back on the herd.
30:04 - Return to post.
30:07 (dramatic music)
30:09 (cows mooing)
30:18 (dramatic music)
30:22 (horses galloping)
30:23 - You're Indians!
30:31 You will not beg food from the horse soldiers.
30:33 - No, no, no. - No!
30:35 We will wait until all Indians can feast with honor
30:41 when the cattle belong to us.
30:44 (dramatic music)
30:47 (dramatic music)

31:19 - How you feeling, Lawson?
31:27 - About as stiff as the bottom of this wagon, sir.
31:29 - Well, tomorrow we'll be in Fort Wallace.
31:31 We've got a good bunk and good care.
31:34 - Tomorrow?
31:36 You're wearing that trail boss's hat
31:38 kind of snug, ain't you, Custer?
31:40 This job's gonna get tougher.
31:43 - Tomorrow we'll be at Rocky Gorge.
31:44 From there, it's three miles to the fort, all downhill.
31:46 - Well, I wouldn't count on it being all downhill.
31:49 Them savages sound like they're cooking up
31:53 a big surprise party.
31:55 - And you've got some advice?
31:57 - Me? No. (laughs)
31:59 I'm just a misplaced little old cattle man.
32:01 You're the Indian fighter.
32:03 I was kind of hoping you had something special in mind.
32:05 - I have.
32:07 We save our lives first,
32:09 and we deliver your herd second.
32:12 - Lawson?
32:13 - Sir?
32:15 - Cavalry straight down his backbone.
32:18 - I may feel the same as you, mister,
32:21 but sharpening teeth on Colonel Custer
32:23 is a privilege that's reserved
32:25 for people wearing a uniform.
32:27 - Oh, take it easy, soldier boy.
32:29 I did my turn in the service.
32:31 If there are any biscuits left,
32:40 I'll bring you one.

34:51 I worked up one whale of an appetite chasing you.
34:54 How about a cup of coffee?
34:56 Take your time, don't spill it.
35:01 Say one thing for you,
35:07 you sure been a picking 'em up and laying 'em down
35:10 since I been on your trail.
35:12 (thunder rumbles)
35:15 - Some of you fellas never learn, do you?
35:17 - Sergeant.
35:22 - My pleasure, sir.
35:25 - Thank you.
35:26 - Colonel's permission.
35:34 - What's on your mind, Sergeant?
35:36 - Well, sir, this whole cattle drive, for one thing.
35:40 - Be specific.
35:43 - We don't have enough men to protect a herd of this size,
35:45 especially if the Sioux make a hard try for 'em.
35:48 - I know that,
35:50 but you're forgetting about Teller and his drovers.
35:52 They fought Indians.
35:54 - Yes, sir, but will they take orders?
35:57 - Oh, fight like civilians?
36:01 We'll find out.
36:03 - You can put down that rifle, trooper.
36:05 All right, get on, cowboy, you're home.
36:12 - What's the trouble, Joe?
36:13 - Caught this citizen a high pay on the south.
36:15 Had these saddlebags full of army grub
36:18 and didn't even stop to say goodbye,
36:21 thank you, or go to blazes.
36:23 - The next man that tries to desert this cattle drive,
36:27 trooper or civilian, will be shot.
36:32 Pass the word.
36:36 - All right, you heard the colonel.
36:40 - General.
36:41 Hat's fitting tighter all the time, isn't it?
36:46 Now it's really gonna get rough.

37:58 Not a sign of 'em, nothing.
38:00 - Well, we're getting close to Rocky Gorge.
38:02 This crazy horse is planning to make a move.
38:05 He'll have to make it soon.
38:07 - Hustler!
38:09 You're burning the cattle off,
38:11 my steer's moving 'em so fast.
38:13 - We're gonna keep right on burning it off
38:15 until we're through Rocky Gorge.
38:18 - Just putting it on my terms instead of theirs.
38:20 Sergeant, if Mr. Teller makes any attempt
38:24 to resume control of this herd,
38:26 you will tie him to the supply wagon.
38:29 - My pleasure, sir.
38:31 - Mr. Custer,
38:34 medals are gonna come real hard
38:37 between here and Fort Wallace.

39:14 Hey, General!
39:16 (dramatic music)
39:17 (dramatic music)
39:19 (dramatic music)
39:21 - The Kiowas has been joining up
39:23 with the Sioux at Rocky Gorge.
39:25 They got us plum cut off.
39:27 - How many?
39:29 - Oh, I reckon like about 300 anyhow.
39:31 - We could try a diversion, sir.
39:33 Send half the herd north as a flank decoy.
39:35 Might pull 'em away long enough
39:37 for us to get the rest of the herd
39:39 through Rocky Gorge.
39:41 - No, Crazy Horse is too smart for that.
39:45 He wants the whole herd.
39:46 - Yeah, and our scalps along with it.
39:48 - We're going through.
39:50 - But, General, Crazy Horse has got enough
39:53 braves down yonder to stand off a whole brigade.
39:56 - When we reach the top of the hill,
39:58 we'll be inside of Rocky Gorge.
40:00 On my signal, everyone fall back
40:02 to the rear of the herd.
40:04 - We'll just be a-walkin' to our own funerals.
40:07 (dramatic music)
40:09 (dramatic music)

40:25 Watch for the colonel's signal
40:27 when we reach the top of this hill.
40:29 Then high tail 'em to the rear
40:31 of the herd on the double.

40:54 I sure hope it works.
40:56 - Well, let's find out.
40:58 - Fall back!
41:00 Fall back!
41:02 (dramatic music)
41:04 (dramatic music)
41:06 (dramatic music)
41:08 (dramatic music)
41:10 (dramatic music)
41:12 - Fall back to the rear of the herd, Keller.
41:13 Didn't you see the colonel's signal?
41:15 - Yeah, I saw it.
41:17 What about it?
41:19 - Colonel's got a plan.
41:21 - A plan?
41:23 Look at them Indians.
41:25 What plan?
41:27 To sacrifice Smusty so he can get himself a medal?
41:29 - You'll find out when you fall back
41:31 to the rear of the herd with the rest of us.
41:33 - Well, I don't take orders from the cavalry, Sergeant.
41:35 Remember, I'm a civilian.
41:37 - There's a time and a place for that, too, mister.
41:41 - Here and now.
41:42 What could be better?
41:44 - Do I tell the colonel that you're disobeying his order?
41:46 - You tell the colonel anything you like.
41:48 I'm staying with my steers.
41:50 - No matter what the odds are, Teller,
41:52 we stand a better chance if we stick together.
41:54 Alone, you're gonna get yourself picked off.
41:56 - You look what's up in them hills.
41:58 We ain't got no odds.
42:00 Now, you just run along and play soldier boy.
42:02 I got work to do.
42:04 (dramatic music)

42:10 (dramatic music)
42:11 (dramatic music)
42:13 (dramatic music)
42:15 (dramatic music)
42:17 - We're gonna ram this herd
42:19 right down Crazy Horse's throat.
42:21 Keep low and keep running.
42:24 Once we start, we don't stop
42:26 till we're through that gorge.
42:28 Last man to Fort Wallace

46:36 with the seventh again.
46:38 (footsteps)
46:40 - I suppose you're looking for thanks.
46:42 - I'll consider that statement your best effort.
46:44 - Are you through running my steers in the ground?
46:46 - All through.
46:49 - Well, do you mind if I take over?
46:51 - You're heard, Mr. Teller.
46:54 It's downhill all the way.

48:30 I'm looking for Colonel Custer.
48:32 He disappeared right after making his report
48:34 and I didn't have a chance to get in these dispatches.
48:36 - Colonel Custer, sir?
48:38 - Your commanding officer, Sergeant.
48:40 Have you seen him?
48:42 - California, have you seen the Colonel?
48:44 - Why, no.
48:46 Not right lately.
48:48 You might try over at the Suttler's bar, though, Captain.
48:50 - What's going on back there?
