Short filmTranscript
00:00:00You
00:00:30The
00:00:41sun shines differently through these windows. I can see my life colored by all that's gone
00:00:48before. Dreams, hopes, and the orneriest pig-headed dreamer of a boy, my brother, John Sager.
00:00:59Most folks said he didn't have the sense God gave a pump handle. But John knew one thing about life,
00:01:07that's for sure. He knew that a heart without a dream could be as dark and as lonely as a house
00:01:16without windows.
00:01:21Hear the mountain, I hear it call you. How young and small you and I must seem.
00:01:44But the mountain was made for climbing. Let's get the climbing done. We've only begun our dream.
00:02:06Every sunset we leave behind us. I know we'll find us closer to the day.
00:02:31And we'll find the home that's waiting somewhere. Our home is a dream, but only a dream away.
00:03:00Chick, chick, chick, chick, chick, chick, chick, chick, chick.
00:03:26Now careful, it's hot.
00:03:28All right, Mama.
00:03:31Come on, girls, it's going on seven.
00:03:33Chick, chick, chick, chick, chick, chick, chick, chick, chick.
00:03:43Catherine, you've been in that bed long enough.
00:03:59Oh, I wonder where your brother is.
00:04:01He should be here with the milk by now.
00:04:05Tell him to hurry and do it.
00:04:31John Sager?
00:04:35Oh, no.
00:04:45God in heaven's name.
00:04:47Girls, what's the matter?
00:04:55John Sager.
00:04:58You come back here this minute. Do you hear me?
00:05:10Here, let me help you.
00:05:22You got a lot of good in you, John Sager.
00:05:25Sometimes I wonder if I'm going to live long enough to see it showing.
00:05:31I want you to get on that horse and push the cows up the grass. Do you understand me?
00:05:49Can I go with you, John?
00:05:50Only if you keep your mouth shut.
00:05:58I don't want you boys fooling around and wasting time.
00:06:01We've got plenty more right here for you to do.
00:06:03Now go on.
00:06:15Nobody around here can take a joke.
00:06:17All they think about is chores and more chores.
00:06:20Well, I'm sick of it.
00:06:22I have a mind to run away.
00:06:24You don't do much anyway. Nobody'd miss you.
00:06:27Didn't I tell you to keep your mouth shut?
00:06:30There's a lot of guys my age out scouting and trapping.
00:06:33Boy, wouldn't that be the life.
00:06:34Nothing to do but scalp in it and shoot a buffalo.
00:06:38I bet you.
00:06:42Look at that, Francis.
00:06:45Look at all those wagons. All of them headed west.
00:06:48Boy, if Papa could see that.
00:06:50Get off. I'm going to go tell him.
00:06:52Papa told you to drive these cows. I'll go back.
00:06:54Get off.
00:07:00You big bully. I'm going to lick you good someday.
00:07:06Papa, Papa.
00:07:10Wagon train coming and they're all headed west.
00:07:15It's the Marcus Whitman Company, Naomi.
00:07:17They're right on time, just like they said they'd be.
00:07:21And to think we could have been going with them.
00:07:23Oh, Henry, not again, please.
00:07:26There's no need talking about it.
00:07:30After all these years of you opposing me, I don't expect you to understand me now.
00:07:38I'll be right behind you, Johnny.
00:07:40Me too.
00:07:41There ain't no room.
00:07:42I know something on you.
00:07:44What?
00:07:45That hard side of your snake of Papa's.
00:08:00Boy, that's Billy Shaw with Dr. Whitman.
00:08:05I can't ever think of traipsing across 2,000 miles of wilderness with this family, Henry.
00:08:12We've worked and sacrificed so hard for this place.
00:08:16I can't help it, Naomi.
00:08:18Every man has his dream.
00:08:20Mama, Mama, look.
00:08:25Oh, John Sager.
00:08:31Would you like to ride with Uncle Billy?
00:08:34Huh?
00:08:35Come on.
00:08:36Here we go.
00:08:43Hi, darling.
00:08:45Howdy, Billy.
00:08:46Hi.
00:08:47Hello.
00:08:48Doctor, welcome, welcome.
00:08:49Good to see you again.
00:08:50One more stunt like that, John Sager.
00:08:54Billy.
00:08:56Don't tell me that you and Sally are going with him.
00:08:58Now, hold on, hold on.
00:08:59You don't think we'd leave without taking our good neighbors along?
00:09:02Hi, Dr. Whitman.
00:09:03Just riding a little wave with Dr. Whitman.
00:09:05No, we're going next year.
00:09:07Naomi, did you hear that?
00:09:09The Polks and the Argyles and Mitchells and the Shaws, they're all going next year.
00:09:13You know, Mrs. Sager, it's not really as dangerous a trip as most people think.
00:09:18We have more women and children going every year.
00:09:20The way Dr. Whitman tells about Oregon country and the Willamette Valley, it's hard for any man to resist.
00:09:26Can you imagine, Henry, black soil, hundreds of feet deep and thousands of acres of it?
00:09:32Oh, and flowers the whole year round.
00:09:35That's right, I swear.
00:09:38I'd love to go out west.
00:09:40Me too.
00:09:42Dr. Whitman, is it true you know Kit Carson?
00:09:45Kit Carson, Jim Bredger, Fremont, know them all.
00:09:49You see, Dr. Whitman and his wife are on a mission near the end of the Oregon Trail.
00:09:52Everybody going west stops over there one time or another.
00:09:55Maybe we'll be seeing you folks next year.
00:09:57You know, if we Americans don't get that Oregon country, the British will.
00:10:02Well, so long, folks.
00:10:04Bye-bye, Dr. Whitman.
00:10:05Bye, folks.
00:10:06Billy.
00:10:07Give my best to Mrs. Whitman.
00:10:20Gee, Kit Carson.
00:10:22You know, a man can make a place for himself out there in Oregon.
00:10:27He can plow enough acreage so that he can become part of America forever.
00:10:36Come on, girls.
00:10:44Papa, ain't there no way we can talk Mommy into going?
00:10:49Sometimes I think only the voice of the Lord can change that woman's mind.
00:10:54And then sometimes I wonder if even that'll do it.
00:11:05The way you keep polishing that glass, Naomi, morning and night,
00:11:10you know someday you can wear it out.
00:11:12That's what makes it so pretty, Papa.
00:11:15I love Mama's windows.
00:11:17They're my most favorite thing in our whole house.
00:11:21When I think about all the gloomy days these windows have brought me sunshine and happiness.
00:11:29You know, I remember this very same pain in my grandmother's parlor,
00:11:34her polishing it.
00:11:37And then it was my mother's.
00:11:40Now it's mine.
00:11:42And we've packed them to every house we've ever lived in.
00:11:48You know, sometimes, Naomi, I wonder what you'd pick if you had to choose between that window and me.
00:12:01I love you too, Henry.
00:12:04We're done, Mama.
00:12:06All right, girls. Off to bed.
00:12:09But ain't we gonna read the Bible?
00:12:13Are my ears hearing me correct?
00:12:15Is that you, John Thaler?
00:12:18That's a mighty sudden change for a boy who's never been too interested in the Bible.
00:12:22Johnny wants to read the Bible?
00:12:24Be quiet or I'll knock your head off.
00:12:26All right, boys.
00:12:28Girls, sit down and listen to your brother before he changes his mind.
00:12:36Can I read it?
00:12:38Whatever you say, Johnny.
00:12:40All right, girls, now be quiet. Listen.
00:12:43Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands,
00:12:46for the husbands are the head of the wives,
00:12:49even the bosses.
00:12:56And the wives should do what the husbands tell them to,
00:12:59wheresoever they desireth them to go.
00:13:02That's enough, John Sager.
00:13:04I know what you're trying to do.
00:13:07And you're twisting the Scriptures.
00:13:10It's not going to work.
00:13:13Don't look at me, Naomi. I...
00:13:15I didn't put him up to it.
00:13:18All right.
00:13:19Listen.
00:13:21Once and for all,
00:13:23I'm not going west, and that's final.
00:13:39...
00:13:41...
00:13:43...
00:13:45...
00:13:47...
00:13:49...
00:13:51...
00:13:53...
00:13:55...
00:13:57...
00:13:59...
00:14:01...
00:14:03I ain't leaving it all behind, not knowing for what.
00:14:05Don't you worry, honey.
00:14:07When we get to Oregon, I'm going to build you the biggest house you ever saw.
00:14:12There'll be a parlor window for your pretty glass,
00:14:15a lilac tree in the front yard,
00:14:18a nice fence.
00:14:27Sure ain't nothing like I expected it to be.
00:14:29I'll bet you old Jim Bridger and Kit Carson never had to eat trail dust like this.
00:14:34If I could find any chance, I'd run away and become a scout or a trapper.
00:14:45Get up there! Come on!
00:14:47Get up! Come on!
00:14:49Come on!
00:14:51Get up there! Get up! Come on!
00:14:53Come on! Come on!
00:14:55Get up there! Come on!
00:15:00Catherine?
00:15:01Yes, Daddy?
00:15:03I want you to go back to the...
00:15:05drive the herd and send John up here to help me.
00:15:07Yes, Daddy.
00:15:16There you are, honey. Here.
00:15:18Put this around you. There you go.
00:15:33John, save her! What are you doing?
00:15:36None of your business.
00:15:38Papa wants you. He said for me to drive the herd.
00:15:41You'll have to go find me. They're back by that clump of trees.
00:15:44You better drive them up near our wagon.
00:15:46But I can't cut him out of the herd. You'll have to help me.
00:15:49John!
00:15:51You better not tell Papa I've been playing cards either.
00:15:54I will if you don't help me.
00:15:56John!
00:15:58John!
00:16:00John!
00:16:02If you don't help me...
00:16:03If you do it, I'll knock your head off.
00:16:05You hateful lady thing.
00:16:10Whoa. Whoa.
00:16:16All right, John. Get on that wheel and give it all you got.
00:16:18Tell me!
00:16:19Yes?
00:16:20You got a good, tight hold on that horse of his?
00:16:22Don't worry about me. You just keep pushing. I'll handle the team.
00:16:24All right.
00:16:28Papa! Papa!
00:16:30What's wrong?
00:16:31I can't find her cow.
00:16:32What?
00:16:33The big herd's gone.
00:16:35Billy Penrose is tied up in those trees.
00:16:37And he and some of the other boys have been playing cards under an old wagon.
00:16:41Henry! Henry, please!
00:16:44Give the boy a chance to have his say.
00:16:46He's had more than his share of chances.
00:16:57I'm going to send you to run if you don't shut up.
00:16:59Shut up! That's enough of that.
00:17:01We've got to get this wagon out of here.
00:17:03John, you and Catherine, get by that front wheel.
00:17:06The rest of you, get behind and push.
00:17:09Oh, goody!
00:17:11What good are those little kids going to do?
00:17:14You tend to your business, John Sager.
00:17:17And push when I tell you.
00:17:20Get ready, children!
00:17:22Okay. Steady, boys. Steady.
00:17:24Push!
00:17:26Halt! Halt! Halt!
00:17:31Mama!
00:17:32Oh! Oh! Oh!
00:17:37My lamb!
00:17:38Mama! Mama! It's Catherine!
00:17:41I'm coming!
00:17:45My lamb! My lamb!
00:17:47Catherine! Catherine! What happened?
00:17:49My lamb!
00:17:52John, you go get Dr. Dutch right quick.
00:17:55What a stupid boy.
00:17:57If not for him, none of this would have happened.
00:18:00All the cows gone and this poor child with a broken leg.
00:18:04Now, Dr. Dutch, you can't blame John for the broken leg.
00:18:07And I'm sure he's sorry about the cows.
00:18:10Sorry?
00:18:11Toyful in him. He does not even know the meaning of the word.
00:18:14Wait till Henry gets back.
00:18:16He'll be standing to eat, that boy will.
00:18:22You feeling better now, Catherine?
00:18:24Much better, Mama.
00:18:26That's good, darling.
00:18:29Now, remember, child.
00:18:31You must lie still.
00:18:33You must not try to stand up or you will be crippled all your life.
00:18:38Henry.
00:18:40Oh, Papa.
00:18:43What's happened to Catherine?
00:18:45The wagon wheel ran over her leg.
00:18:48Dr. Dutch says it snapped clean in two.
00:18:52Did you find the cows, Henry?
00:18:54Yeah, we found them.
00:18:56I'm sure they'll be all right.
00:18:58I'm sure they'll be all right.
00:19:00I'm sure they'll be all right.
00:19:02I'm sure they'll be all right.
00:19:04I'm sure they'll be all right.
00:19:06Yeah, we found them.
00:19:08But it cost me $10 to get them back.
00:19:11$10? Henry, why?
00:19:13It was a band of Indians that had them hidden about five miles from here.
00:19:17Billy and the others are bringing them back now.
00:19:19Well, I'd better go heat up his supper then.
00:19:21Come on, Dr. Dutch.
00:19:22Remember, child, lie still.
00:19:26Yeah, that Dr. Dutch is a quack, Doc.
00:19:28And I've heard that from more than one person.
00:19:32For a boy who's about to get a licking,
00:19:34you'd do well to speak of your elders with more respect.
00:19:37Ain't you gonna let me explain?
00:19:41You've done all you could to earn a licking ever since we left home.
00:19:45You've been lazy.
00:19:47You've been disobedient.
00:19:49You've played all kinds of pranks on the other wagons.
00:19:53And now this business about the cattle.
00:19:56You come outside, boy.
00:20:00And I want you to drop your britches.

00:21:13Hey, you dirty rascal.
00:21:21Hey, look, Pa!
00:21:22Hey!
00:21:40Hey, mister!
00:21:42Don't shoot!
00:21:47It ain't nothing funny.
00:21:48Well, where's your clothes at?
00:21:50Dirty engine stole them.
00:21:51Well, what are you doing out here alone?
00:21:53I had trouble with my Pa.
00:21:56I ran away from our wagon.
00:21:57You pulled a sneak, did you?
00:21:59Well, you're big enough in size.
00:22:01But I'll bet your mind ain't more than five years old.
00:22:05Imagine being out here as long as you have
00:22:07and not having sense enough to stay with your outfit.
00:22:10Pa licked me, and I'm too old to be licked.
00:22:13Well, if I was your Pa, I'd lick the way out of you
00:22:15from morning till night till you got some sense in your head.
00:22:18Now, you come over here, and I'll take you back.
00:22:34Is that your wagon down there?
00:22:36Yeah, it gets the weight for me.
00:22:40Now, unless you want to lose your scalp,
00:22:41you better hang on.
00:22:49Hurry up, children.
00:22:55Dr. Lieber!
00:22:57Hey, mister, don't you know better than to get separated
00:22:59from your main outfit?
00:23:00I know, but my wife and I don't have time to explain.
00:23:02We've got to get out there to meet them.
00:23:04They'll want to parley first.
00:23:05All right.
00:23:06John, get up in the wagon.
00:23:07Pull me to the right, quick.
00:23:15Dr. Lieber!
00:23:17Dr. Dutch, get ready to drive like the devil, just in case.
00:23:21Me drive?
00:23:22Drive.
00:23:31Once a doctor, now a drover.
00:23:34A new baby sister, John.
00:23:50Looks like they're sending their leader out to do the bargaining.
00:23:53Hey, that's the Indian I paid the $10 for.
00:23:56Now, that's the Indian I paid the $10 for.
00:23:58Now, that's the Indian I paid the $10 for.
00:24:01Hey, that's the Indian I paid the $10 to last night
00:24:03to get my cows back.
00:24:05Are you willing to give up any more?
00:24:08Well, we don't have any food to spare.
00:24:11And I ain't about to give up my only saddle horse.
00:24:13Well, you just stay here and let me handle it.
00:24:31Hey, Dr. Lieber!
00:24:32Hey!
00:24:33How do you walk?
00:24:34Hey!
00:24:39What's going on?
00:24:40Trouble.
00:24:41Let's go.
00:24:42Yeah!
00:25:00Oh!
00:25:01Oh!
00:25:02Oh!
00:25:03Oh!
00:25:04Oh!
00:25:05Oh!
00:25:06Oh!
00:25:07Oh!
00:25:08Oh!
00:25:09Oh!
00:25:10Oh!
00:25:11Oh!
00:25:12Oh!
00:25:13Oh!
00:25:14Oh!
00:25:15Oh!
00:25:16Oh!
00:25:17Oh!
00:25:18Oh!
00:25:19Oh!
00:25:20Oh!
00:25:21Oh!
00:25:22Oh!
00:25:23Oh!
00:25:24Oh!
00:25:25Oh!
00:25:26Oh!
00:25:27Oh!
00:25:28Oh!
00:25:29Oh!
00:25:30Oh!
00:25:31Oh!
00:25:32Oh!
00:25:33Oh!
00:25:35Oh!
00:25:36Oh!
00:25:37Oh!
00:25:53Let's go!
00:26:25Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:26:55Papa!
00:26:56I mean, did you look?
00:27:02Henry!
00:27:03That sure was a brave thing you did there, Mr. Sager.
00:27:12Everybody here all right?
00:27:16Thanks to this stranger, we are.
00:27:18Don't thank me, thank the boy.
00:27:19If I hadn't run into him, I'd have gone on to the main outfit.
00:27:22We're still mighty obliged to you, Mr. Carson, Kit Carson.
00:27:27You're a Kit Carson?
00:27:28Well, now, ain't this something?
00:27:31I heard you've been traveling this trail a lot.
00:27:33Well, where are you folks headed?
00:27:34The Willamette Valley in Oregon.
00:27:36If you're going that way, we'd sure like to have you travel along with us.
00:27:39Well, I sure do thank you for the invitation, but I'm on important government business,
00:27:42and I'll see you folks further on up the trail.
00:27:45All right, so long.
00:27:46Just remember what I told you, John, if you listen to your Paul, he's one of the bravest
00:27:52men I've ever seen.
00:27:59Who is that man?
00:28:00Who is this Kit Carson?
00:28:03I think maybe you better keep to your medicine, Dr. Dutch.
00:28:07Come on, let's help Henry back to his wagon.
00:28:10Yes.
00:28:11Quickly.
00:28:42John Sager?
00:28:43What are you doing?
00:28:44Nothing, Papa.
00:28:45Nothing.
00:28:46Everything's all right.
00:29:47John, I don't know about you, boy, but you're lazy, and you're good for nothing.
00:30:04All right, go on and do your job.
00:30:08Go on.
00:30:09Terrible boy.
00:30:10Look what you caused your father.
00:30:14Henry, you must let me drive for you.
00:30:19I'll be all right.
00:30:20And let Naomi watch the team while I look at your shoulder.
00:30:24Get in the wagon.
00:30:37That old quack doctor's got it in for me.
00:30:40Snoop around, get me in trouble, Papa.
00:30:42Serves you right.
00:30:44Well, I ain't letting him get away with it.
00:31:12Well, I ain't letting him get away with it.
00:31:42Well, I wish everyone good night.
00:32:11Good night.
00:32:13I hope.
00:32:16Doctor Dent?
00:32:17Yeah.
00:32:18Do I have to stay in this wagon?
00:32:19Can't I go sit out by the fire?
00:32:20What?
00:32:21And take a chance to break that bone again?
00:32:23You stay put, my child.
00:32:25She must not be moved under any circumstances.
00:32:28And how is their little mama and their little baby?
00:32:32Strong as can be, doctor.
00:32:34Good to go.
00:32:35Good to go.
00:32:36Good to go.
00:32:37Good, good, good, good, good, good, good.
00:32:40Beautiful baby.
00:32:44You Henry,
00:32:46that shoulder of yours giving you any trouble?
00:32:50It's worse than it was yesterday, doctor.
00:32:53Are you sure you didn't leave something in it?
00:32:55Darling, let's take a look.
00:33:01That terrible boy of yours, he's trying to kill me.
00:33:08All right, you children.
00:33:10Isn't there something that you should be doing
00:33:11before you go to bed?
00:33:18Henry, amid all your troubles,
00:33:20I think maybe you should go back from where you came.
00:33:24Nothing will ever turn Henry back, doctor.
00:33:28Well, let me see now.
00:33:34How does it look, doctor?
00:33:36I don't know.
00:33:38For one week old, it should not be so red.
00:33:42You should not use it so much, Henry.
00:33:45You should let me drive.
00:33:46No, Papa, we don't need him.
00:33:48I can drive.
00:33:50What?
00:33:51A boy who falls asleep at the reins?
00:33:54He wants to be a great scout like Kid Carson.
00:33:58Him, a scout?
00:33:59Ha, ha, ha, even the horses laugh.
00:34:02Ha, ha, him who runs away, who loses their cows,
00:34:06and falls asleep at the reins?
00:34:08Why, you could not even scout your own backyard.
00:34:13Well, I must tend to the other sick.
00:34:17And remember, Henry, if you want me, I'm ready to help.
00:34:25Papa, how can you let him talk about me like that
00:34:28and not say nothing?
00:34:30Well, now let me see.
00:34:32If I rightly remember, you did run away
00:34:37and you did fall asleep.
00:34:42What exactly did you want me to say?
00:34:48Come here, son.
00:35:02John, I know sometimes you think I'm awful hard on you.
00:35:09But, son, I'm only doing it for your own good
00:35:12because this is a tough country, boy,
00:35:14and it's gonna take tough men to make it great.
00:35:19And you're the kind that one day is gonna do it.
00:35:24But you gotta learn right now, while you're young,
00:35:27what it means to be responsible and trustworthy.
00:35:32That's the biggest part of growing up and being a man.
00:35:36Do you understand?
00:35:46All right, go on and do your chores.
00:36:01I'll see you later.
00:37:02What, isn't it your good man, Naomi?
00:37:05Ever since supper, he's been getting worse.
00:37:08Doctor, please, you've got to do something.
00:37:11Billy, help me get him in the tent.
00:37:19We've seen you, boys.
00:37:26I'm sorry.
00:37:28Woof, woof, woof, woof!
00:37:31Woof, woof, woof, woof!
00:37:46Pretty bad, isn't it?
00:37:50He can only wait.
00:37:53If it is blood poisoning, there is nothing I can do.
00:37:57Good night.
00:38:05Good night, Henry.
00:38:06You just get a good night's rest, you'll feel fine.
00:38:09Thank you for all your help, Billy.
00:38:11Good night.
00:38:12Good night.
00:38:14Mama!
00:38:25You're a good, good woman, Naomi.
00:38:30Leaving so much behind to come out here.
00:38:38Shush, you mustn't talk.
00:38:40When I think about...
00:38:44all that beautiful Oregon country out there,
00:38:48just... just waiting for you.
00:38:52I...
00:38:58And that house I was going to build you.
00:39:03That beautiful house.
00:39:04I know it.
00:39:06You will.
00:39:13John.
00:39:14John!
00:39:18Your...
00:39:20Your father is...
00:39:27Don't give in, Henry.
00:39:30You've got to.
00:39:31Don't give in, Henry.
00:39:33You've got to fight.
00:39:39What's to become of you and the children?
00:39:42Don't think about that.
00:39:44Just put your mind to getting well.
00:39:52John needs a father to guide him.
00:39:55He's got good stuff, that boy.
00:39:59But he needs discipline.
00:40:01Papa!
00:40:11Remember what I told you, son.
00:40:15About responsibility and becoming a man.
00:40:21Your mother's going to need you more than ever now.
00:40:25You've got to help her.
00:40:29You can make it.
00:40:31I know you can.
00:40:33It's just like Kid Carson said.
00:40:36You're the bravest and the greatest man.
00:40:50Papa.
00:41:06Papa.
00:41:15Papa.
00:41:17Papa.
00:41:20Papa.
00:41:44As long as I can remember,
00:41:45Papa wanted to plow that black soil out on the Willamette.
00:41:48But now I'll never do it.
00:41:53You know something, Francis?
00:41:56I'd sure give a lot if I'd been a better son to Papa these last few months.
00:42:18Papa.
00:42:43In Thee, dear Lord, do I put my trust.
00:42:48For thou art my rock, my fortress.
00:42:54And to thine hands I commit my spirit.
00:43:08Come on, now. Easy, boys. Get up.
00:43:18Come on, boys.
00:43:48Come on, boys.
00:43:57Oh, my God!
00:43:59Get back!
00:44:01Get back!
00:44:03Get back!
00:44:05Get back!
00:44:07Get back!
00:44:09Get back!
00:44:11Get back!
00:44:13Get back!
00:44:16Dr. Dutch, get everybody out of the way! Hurry!
00:44:19Oh, my God!
00:44:21What are you doing? Get everybody out!
00:44:24Hurry, Mama!
00:44:26Hurry! Hurry!
00:44:34What the blazes?
00:44:36John, get those horses on up.
00:44:38Dr. Dutch?
00:44:40Dr. Dutch, pay attention!
00:44:42Get up to the polk wagon quick.
00:44:44Emily's ready to deliver, and there are more folks down with that blasted dysentery.
00:44:48I've got a team up here to help you out of this fix, John.
00:45:13There. That should do it.
00:45:16I'll have you out of there in no time, Catherine.
00:45:19Oh, John, darest I?
00:45:21Of course. Come on.
00:45:23Frances helped me get her on her feet.
00:45:25But Dr. Dutch said...
00:45:27The devil with Dr. Dutch.
00:45:29Now, get used to him for a minute, and then we'll go show Mama.
00:45:34She's doing it, Johnny! She's doing it!
00:45:37Billy.
00:45:39Yeah?
00:45:41We must hold up a couple of days until this epidemic is over.
00:45:44We're behind schedule already.
00:45:46With dysentery, we have no schedule.
00:45:48I must tell you, Billy,
00:45:50there's hardly a wagon in this whole company that is not infected.
00:46:02Well, I guess we've got no other choice.
00:46:06I'll go tell the others.
00:46:09Mama! Mama! Look!
00:46:14Catherine!
00:46:16Carry her back or she will be crippled for life!
00:46:19Let her be.
00:46:21She'd rather be lame than stand in that old wagon all the time.
00:46:24Wouldn't you, Catherine?
00:46:26Yes, I would.
00:46:28Oh, now, Catherine, I think the doctor knows best.
00:46:30He don't know beans.
00:46:32Anybody knows broken bone heals up sooner than this.
00:46:34Anyway, if Dr. Dutch would have taken better care of Papa,
00:46:37he'd still be alive today.
00:46:39What? You dumb cop, you!
00:46:41Take your hands off me. I'm head of our home now.
00:46:44And another thing,
00:46:46it ain't a bit of use for you to try to marry my ma,
00:46:48because I won't let you.
00:46:57I'm sorry, Doctor.
00:47:04John.
00:47:06I know what you want me to go do.
00:47:08You want me to go tell him I'm sorry.
00:47:10Well, I ain't gonna, because what I said was true.
00:47:20John, let's suppose that Francis came to you
00:47:24and said that you were bossy
00:47:26and used bad grammar.
00:47:28What would you say?
00:47:30I'd knock his head off.
00:47:32But it's true.
00:47:34I don't care.
00:47:36I wouldn't let a kid like that say such things to me.
00:47:38That's exactly how Dr. Dutch feels.
00:47:44John, go sit down.
00:47:46I want to talk to you.
00:48:04I haven't seen you whole, little Anna.
00:48:06Don't you like her?
00:48:08Yeah, but there's always many others fussing over her.
00:48:12There's no one here now.
00:48:34John, I'm going to give little Anna to you for your very own.
00:48:42What?
00:48:44Now that your father's gone,
00:48:46she needs a man to take care of her while she's growing up.
00:48:52And you're the man of the family now.
00:48:54Yeah, but I don't know how to take care of a baby.
00:49:00She just needs lots of love.
00:49:02She's your special baby.
00:49:06And I know that you'll take care of her,
00:49:08just as I know that you'll always keep the children together.
00:49:12I can trust you to do that.
00:49:16Yes, Mama.
00:49:22Mama was slipping away.
00:49:24I think John must have known that.
00:49:28But us kids?
00:49:30I just thought she was tired.
00:50:00Mama died of pneumonia
00:50:02on the darkest night I can remember.
00:50:06And on that night,
00:50:08for the first time in our lives,
00:50:10we were alone.
00:50:30Now, all of you, stop your fretting.
00:50:32They're not going to divide us up.
00:50:36I promised Mama I'd keep the family together,
00:50:38and that's just what I'm going to do.
00:50:40Johnny, do you think we'll all be together
00:50:42with Mama and Papa again?
00:50:44Of course we will.
00:50:46If God put us in the same family down here,
00:50:48it's as if he wants us to gather up in heaven.
00:50:50Well,
00:50:52you're a hard-nosed boy
00:50:54to deal with, John Sager.
00:50:56I guess we're going to have to give in to you this time.
00:50:58Think you can handle this
00:51:00brood of yours all the way to Fort Hall?
00:51:02I know I can.
00:51:04I'm sure you can.
00:51:06I'm sure I can.
00:51:08I'm sure I can.
00:51:10I'm sure I can.
00:51:12I'm sure I can.
00:51:14I'm sure I can.
00:51:16I'm sure I can.
00:51:18Think you can handle this brood of yours all the way to Fort Hall?
00:51:20I know I can.
00:51:22Well, that's fine for everybody but this little baby.
00:51:24Give her to me, Catherine.
00:51:26No, she's mine.
00:51:28Mama, give her to me.
00:51:30Please, John.
00:51:32I'm not going to keep her.
00:51:38All right.
00:51:40But just remember, she's mine.
00:51:42Now, your mother left enough money
00:51:44to send you back to Missouri.
00:51:46She's in Fort Hall for you to stay there during the winter.
00:51:48Come on, Matilda.
00:51:50You can stay with Aunt Sally, too.
00:51:58Now, I'm boss of this family.
00:52:00I can lick anyone if you don't do what I say.
00:52:02And you know it.
00:52:04I ain't going to be bullied.
00:52:06If you're fair, I'll let you be boss.
00:52:08If you ain't, you'll have to scalp me
00:52:10before I mind.
00:52:12Keep quiet. Let's hear what he wants.
00:52:14The first thing is
00:52:16I want to write down about Mommy in the Bible.
00:52:18And while I'm at it,
00:52:20I want to change the baby's name.
00:52:22I want to call her
00:52:24Henrietta Naomi
00:52:26after Pop and Mama.
00:52:36I'll get the Bible.
00:52:44I'll get the Bible.
00:53:14Folks!
00:53:16Folks, would you come over here, please?
00:53:18Folks, come on. Over here.
00:53:20I want to talk to you.
00:53:22Folks, over here.
00:53:24Now, if you want my advice,
00:53:26it's too late in the year
00:53:28to try to go on to Oregon.
00:53:30Of course,
00:53:32if you want to die of lung fever
00:53:34or freeze and starve to death
00:53:36in the Blue Mountains,
00:53:38you'll have to go to Oregon.
00:53:40You'll have to go to Oregon.
00:53:42If you want to freeze and starve to death
00:53:44in the Blue Mountains,
00:53:46go ahead.
00:53:48But if you have an ounce of sense,
00:53:50you'll decide in favor
00:53:52of California.
00:53:58Well, if it ain't young John Sager.
00:54:00Mr. Carson.
00:54:02I was hoping our paths would cross again.
00:54:04Oh, my, glad to see you.
00:54:06Well, how's your ma and pa
00:54:08and the rest of that family of yours?
00:54:10Well, I'm sure sorry.
00:54:12I hadn't heard.
00:54:14Well, what are your plans now?
00:54:16Well, Mama planned to stay till spring
00:54:18and then take us back to St. Louis
00:54:20with some traders. But now the Shaw's
00:54:22want to keep the baby and Matilda,
00:54:24and I ain't going to let them.
00:54:26Well, that don't hardly seem fair.
00:54:28The last thing my mama told me
00:54:30was to keep the family together.
00:54:32So now we're going to go on to Oregon
00:54:34and we're going to take up that homestead
00:54:36just like Papa planned.
00:54:38Well, we're grown men, and this late in the year
00:54:40with the snows coming, the wagon just won't make it through.
00:54:42I wouldn't take a wagon.
00:54:44I'd use a pack train, just like Uncle Billy
00:54:46and the others. All's I gotta do
00:54:48is convince Uncle Billy to let us go along.
00:54:50Could you help us, Mr. Carson?
00:54:52You could talk him into it.
00:54:54Well, you sure got a lot of spunk
00:54:56and determination.
00:55:00You wait right here. I'll be back.
00:55:08Now, I don't know about the rest of you,
00:55:10but I started out for the Willamette Valley
00:55:12and that's where I'm going.
00:55:14You can count me in, Shaw.
00:55:16Good, good.
00:55:26Billy Shaw, I have a matter to take up with you.
00:55:28Why, Mr. Carson?
00:55:30It's about that young fellow by the name of John Sager.
00:55:32Heard of him?
00:55:34Yes.
00:55:36Did you know that all has been arranged for you
00:55:38to remain at the fort this winter?
00:55:40I don't need no quack doctor telling me nothing.
00:55:42So I'm taking my family on to Oregon.
00:55:44Have you lost your mind?
00:55:46What does a dumb kid like you know
00:55:48about this country?
00:55:50Yeah.
00:55:54Disrespectful young cub.
00:56:06I'm sorry, John, but he's convinced
00:56:08he's doing what your mama wanted him to do
00:56:10and if you want my advice,
00:56:12I think you're best off doing what he says.
00:56:14I've been hoping and praying I'd find you
00:56:16because I knew you'd help me do what my pa wanted.
00:56:18But you're just like the rest of them.
00:56:20Hey, wait a minute.
00:56:22You think I don't want to help you?
00:56:24I tell you I would if I only knew how.
00:56:26I don't need nobody's help.
00:56:28I can do it on my own.
00:56:30You gotta be plum loco to take off out there
00:56:32by yourself.
00:56:34Maybe so, but I gotta do it anyhow.
00:56:36I've never met anybody like you, John Sager.
00:56:38You're more stubborn than five mules in a bathtub.
00:56:40Now, you come along with me.
00:56:42You and I got a lot of thinking to do.
00:57:00What if Mr. Carson changes his mind?
00:57:02He said he'd come and he will.
00:57:04Now, you better be getting the girls up
00:57:06and tell them to be quiet.
00:57:16Is everything ready?
00:57:18Sure thing, Mr. Carson.
00:57:20Boy, you sure got two fine mules.
00:57:22I got a good price for your wagon and team
00:57:24and you should have enough supplies
00:57:26and pemmican to last you.
00:57:28What's pemmican?
00:57:30It's a tasty little dish the Indians make.
00:57:32Sure tastes good if you can overlook the hair.
00:57:34Is this everything you want loaded?
00:57:36Everything we got room for.
00:57:38John, you almost forgot these.
00:57:40We're not taking them, Louisa.
00:57:42There's not room.
00:57:44You can't leave mama's windows.
00:57:46Mr. Carson, can't we take them?
00:57:48What windows are you talking about?
00:57:50That would be a fine thing,
00:57:52a house without windows.
00:57:54I think we can find a place for them
00:57:56on old Silas.
00:57:58Don't you two have another job to do?
00:58:20Yolo, wake up.
00:58:26What's wrong, Francis?
00:58:28We gotta hide.
00:58:30There's Indians. Hurry.
00:58:34Here, take this.
00:58:50Turn over.
00:59:02Turn over.
00:59:04You're waking up the whole camp.
00:59:06Remember.
00:59:18Now remember,
00:59:20there's Indians that don't make a sound.
00:59:22Is Aunt Sally hiding?
00:59:28Hurry.
00:59:36Now, John, don't you let that Shaw company
00:59:38get ahead of you more than a day or two
00:59:40or you're gonna be in a lot of trouble.
00:59:42By the time you catch up with them,
00:59:44you're gonna be far enough down the trail
00:59:46they're not gonna want to send you back.
00:59:48Another thing, you tell old Shaw
00:59:50if he's got any sense,
00:59:52he'll hold up for the winter at Whitman's mission.
00:59:54Well, how far before we get there?
00:59:56Not till you get over the Blue Mountains,
00:59:58the last leg of the journey.
01:00:00You tell Mrs. Whitman that Kit Carson sent you.
01:00:02She'll take real good care of you.
01:00:04Especially that baby.
01:00:06Thanks, Mr. Carson, for all you've done.
01:00:08I sure wish she was going with us.
01:00:10When I get through that army business,
01:00:12I might just come over to the Willamette
01:00:14and see how you're doing.
01:00:16We'd be mighty pleased if you'd do that.
01:00:18Well, I plan on it, and when I get there,
01:00:20I'd like to see that house
01:00:22with all them pretty windows, you hear?
01:00:24Oh, I hate this parakeet stew.
01:00:26You did her all nice.
01:00:28I know, I know.
01:00:30You'll knock my head off.
01:00:32Say, isn't today Sunday?
01:00:34Yes, it is.
01:00:36I remember Aunt Sally said
01:00:38they always read the prayer book
01:00:40and sang hymns on Sunday.
01:00:42This being Sunday,
01:00:44we're gonna hold services right here.
01:00:46I'm sure you'll like it.
01:00:48I'm sure you'll like it.
01:00:50I'm sure you'll like it.
01:00:52This being Sunday,
01:00:54we're gonna hold services right here ourselves.
01:00:56Let's go get the Bible and give it to me.
01:00:58You're not our father and mother,
01:01:00and they're the only one in the family
01:01:02that I would let read the Bible to me.
01:01:04Go get the Bible, I'm gonna give you a beating.
01:01:06I'm not going to.
01:01:08Stop it!
01:01:10All right, I'll get it.
01:01:14Can I read it, John?
01:01:16You said I was gonna read it.
01:01:22Here.
01:01:32Blessed is he who is merciful
01:01:34to little children
01:01:36and leadeth them with love
01:01:38and kindness
01:01:40and understanding.
01:01:44Miss Sam, they're coming!
01:01:52They're coming!
01:02:00It's Uncle Billy!
01:02:02I want Aunt Sally!
01:02:04Shh! Not so loud!
01:02:06They don't bring them when watching.
01:02:08Let them get a dare,
01:02:10so I'll head up to them and follow them.
01:02:22Let's go.
01:02:42Hey, look at this, John.
01:02:44I wonder who it belongs to.
01:02:46Don't matter, it's our town.
01:02:48Come on, Francis, let's go get Silas hooked up to it.
01:03:22What are we going to do now, Johnny?
01:03:29Yeah, what are we?
01:03:30We're going to camp here for a while, because we're going to build a raft.
01:03:34That's what we're going to do.
01:03:36Let's get busy.
01:03:38Francis, you take care of the stock.
01:03:52Sure it'll float, Johnny?
01:04:16The only way to find out is to try it.
01:04:21Where's Louisa?
01:04:23She was here just a minute ago.
01:04:26There she is!
01:04:28What's wrong with her?
01:04:29She's scared of the water, that's what.
01:04:31Ever since she found that old swindle back home, remember?
01:04:35Well, we don't have time for foolishness like this.
01:04:56Come on, Louisa, stop acting like a baby.
01:04:58No!
01:04:59Stop it.
01:05:00Either you come out of there or I'll give you a lick and you'll never forget.
01:05:03You bully, you can't force a person not to be scared.
01:05:06Since you think you know it all, smarty, you do it.
01:05:13Come on, Louisa.
01:05:14I won't let John spank you, I promise.
01:05:17And you don't have to get on that raft until you're good and ready.
01:05:20I'm not going on that raft!
01:05:22Look, Louisa, there's nothing to be scared of.
01:05:25I'll hold on to you real tight and you can close your eyes if you like.
01:05:28We have to get across that old river.
01:05:30No!
01:05:32All right, then.
01:05:35I guess Mama will never have that house she wanted out in Oregon.
01:05:39Poor Mama.
01:05:41I bet she's looking down from heaven right now and feeling real sad.
01:05:45And Papa, too.
01:05:48Kathy, wait!
01:05:52Do you really think that Mama and Papa are looking down from heaven?
01:05:56Of course they are.
01:05:57They've been watching over us ever since they died.
01:05:59Isn't that right, Johnny?
01:06:01Yeah.
01:06:02We're their children, ain't we?
01:06:05Then I guess I won't be scared.
01:06:25Come on.
01:06:32Come on.
01:06:38Now, don't let go of her for nothing, Katherine.
01:06:41Now, if you all be quiet and trust me, nothing's going to happen.
01:06:49Keep them coming, Francis.
01:06:51I'm trying.
01:07:01Keep them coming.
01:07:03Keep them coming.
01:07:34You want to hold her, Francis?
01:07:36I'm trying.
01:07:53You can't hold me.
01:07:55Hold on, Katherine.
01:07:57I'm a swimmer.
01:07:59Hey, watch out.
01:08:03Watch out.
01:08:33I'm sorry.
01:09:04I'm sorry, John, but I just couldn't hold on any longer.
01:09:07That's okay, old trapper.
01:09:09You did the best you could, and that's what counts.
01:09:11Come on, let's go find them.
01:09:13Now, you girls stay here and get ready to go.
01:09:16They were watching over us, weren't they?
01:09:18Who was?
01:09:19Mama and Papa.
01:09:33Mama and Papa.
01:10:03Come on.
01:10:34John, we've got to stop and rest.
01:10:36I can't go on any further.
01:10:38We would have caught up with Uncle Billy
01:10:40if it wouldn't have been for you always wanting to stop and rest.
01:10:43Well, if your leg hurt like mine, you'd want to rest, too.
01:10:46I'm hungry.
01:10:48John, can't we stop and rest?
01:10:50Next time that old fool smiles, I'm going to knock his head off.
01:10:56I think she's sick, John.
01:10:58I think so, too.
01:11:01I think she's sick, John.
01:11:03Old Betsy's milk must not be right for her anymore.
01:11:07John, look!
01:11:13What are we going to do?
01:11:15Let's just hope they're friendly.
01:11:31We're just passing through here.
01:11:33You haven't by any chance seen any of our people, have you?
01:11:36They might have gone by here a couple of days ago.
01:11:39Be mighty obliged if you tell us.
01:11:42Oh, no, you're not getting this.
01:11:47You're not getting this.
01:11:49You're not getting this.
01:11:51You're not getting this.
01:11:53You're not getting this.
01:11:55You're not getting this.
01:11:57You're not getting this.
01:12:00You're not getting this.
01:12:03Keep her quiet, Catherine.
01:12:05Keep hungry.
01:12:08No, no!
01:12:10I think she wants to feed her.
01:12:12You can't let a squaw feed her, can you?
01:12:14I don't know nothing about that.
01:12:16She don't take to Betsy's milk, and they seem pretty friendly.
01:12:22Don't worry. I won't let them steal her.
01:12:59She ain't gonna hurt her.
01:13:01Let's go set up camp.
01:13:09This is such a lovely place.
01:13:11I wish we could stay here for a whole week.
01:13:13With John pushing us, we're lucky to stay here for a whole minute.
01:13:18Can we ever get to be a pad poof, Johnny?
01:13:22Stop your fretting, Matilda.
01:13:24You think I'd give up my own little baby to a bunch of Indians?
01:13:27I wish they'd quit staring. It makes me nervous.
01:13:37They're gonna give her back when they're done for now.
01:13:40I don't want Henrietta to be a pad poof.
01:13:43Maybe they already took her on.
01:13:45Probably won't see her again.
01:13:47You girls be quiet.
01:13:49I think someone's coming.
01:13:57Thank you, ma'am. Much obliged to you.
01:14:27Hey, come and look!
01:14:50They robbed us!
01:15:01They robbed us!
01:15:03They even took Papa's horse.
01:15:05I knew we shouldn't have trusted them.
01:15:07Everything's gone except the baby thing and some blankets.
01:15:11Well, at least we got our scalps.
01:15:13They didn't take Mama's windows because I've been sleeping with them.
01:15:16John, what are we gonna have for breakfast?
01:15:18Well, at least. Why ask me?
01:15:20Because you're always telling us who's boss.
01:15:22So you should be in charge of getting some food.
01:15:24Look, smarty, you wanna lick him?
01:15:26You can't hit Captain. She's the only mother we've got.
01:15:33Come on, Francis, let's go see what we can find.
01:15:37The rest of you get ready to move out.
01:15:40If we don't catch up with Uncle Billy now, we're really in trouble.
01:16:18Oh, oh!
01:16:23There, there, there!
01:16:28It's Aunt Sally!
01:16:30It's Uncle Billy!
01:16:32Wait here, Sally!
01:16:49Great, go-shits.
01:16:51John Sager and his brood.
01:16:53What in blazes, boy?
01:16:55We've been trying to catch up to you since Fort Hall.
01:16:58You poor children, you look starved.
01:17:00We haven't eaten for two days.
01:17:02Emily, get them something to eat.
01:17:04John, let me have that little thing.
01:17:08How is she?
01:17:10She cries a lot, Mrs. Folt. She acts like she's sick.
01:17:13Maybe some warmer clothes will help.
01:17:15I'll give her some of our little Myra's.
01:17:17She, uh...
01:17:19Come on, children.
01:17:22Little Myra drowned in the last river crossing.
01:17:25That's what decided us to come this way.
01:17:27This way?
01:17:29Don't you know where you are, boy?
01:17:31This is the California Trail.
01:17:33California? But where's Billy Shaw?
01:17:35Still bent for the Willamette.
01:17:37We left him and Dr. Dutch back on the Oregon Trail 20 miles or so.
01:17:40You must have been careless at the forks.
01:17:48Thanks, Mrs. Folt.
01:17:50You sure obliged for the food.
01:17:52Nothing ever tastes so good in my whole life.
01:17:57We've been talking things over, John,
01:17:59trying to come to some sensible decision.
01:18:01Adam, we're taking him with us, surely.
01:18:03Little Henrietta.
01:18:07Ain't none of us going with you, not even the baby.
01:18:10We're going on to Oregon.
01:18:12Don't be foolish, son.
01:18:14Don't be foolish, son.
01:18:16You're talking about 20 miles of backtracking.
01:18:18You'll never catch up with the Shaws.
01:18:20I want to stay with Mrs. Folt.
01:18:22Me too.
01:18:24Don't you kids want to take up that homestead for Papa?
01:18:28Some Indians stole our supplies.
01:18:31If you could sell us a few,
01:18:33give him a Pa's watch.
01:18:35Well, like I said, we...
01:18:37We ain't got much to spare,
01:18:39but we'll let you have what we can.
01:18:41You can keep your Pa's watch.
01:18:43Adam, you're not gonna just let them go off by themselves like that.
01:18:46Give him the baby, Emily.
01:19:00Well, we won't hold you folks up any longer.
01:19:03Come on, kids. We got a lot of backtracking to do.
01:19:06White man trails take too long.
01:19:08Indian trails take you fast.
01:19:10You know a shorter way to the Oregon Trail?
01:19:14Over a mountain.
01:19:22John and that Indian figured they knew what they were doing.
01:19:26But to me, leaving the Polks was as foolish a thing as anyone could ever do.
01:19:31And if you'd have asked me then
01:19:33what our chances were of ever running into the Shaws,
01:19:36I'd have told you.
01:19:38All our chances put together wouldn't have filled a fin.
01:19:44Johnny?
01:19:48I think Henrietta's getting worse.
01:19:51We're not careful or we're gonna lose White Elk.
01:19:53Look how far ahead he is.
01:19:59Hey, you crazy Indians! Stop!
01:20:03Hey, you crazy Indians! Stop!
01:20:13Hey, we got a sick papoose back there.
01:20:15Can't you slow down?
01:20:17White children slow like turtles.
01:20:20We'll never catch Billy Shaw.
01:20:22We got to.
01:20:23You got a fast pony, you ride ahead and tell Uncle Billy to wait for us.
01:20:26First...
01:20:28You give me Father's watch.
01:20:31No, the deal was for you to get us to the Shaws.
01:20:43All right, here.
01:20:46But you better stick to your bargain or I'll run off.
01:20:51All right, hurry up.
01:20:58Come on.
01:21:23It's Uncle Billy and Aunt Sally, John. I just know it is.
01:21:26Why don't you come back?
01:21:28I want Aunt Sally, Johnny.
01:21:31Wait a minute.
01:21:34I think something's wrong.
01:21:57John Sager?
01:21:59Don't come in.
01:22:01You will get this awful dysentery for sure.
01:22:09The baby's awful sick, Aunt Sally.
01:22:11We thought maybe you could help.
01:22:14We know, John.
01:22:16White Elk was here.
01:22:19He's gone on to the Whitman mission to bring back help.
01:22:23That's Caillou's country.
01:22:25He told me he'd never go that far.
01:22:27He said they'd scalp a Ute Indian for sure.
01:22:30All I know is, he said,
01:22:32Mrs. Whitman could help your sick baby.
01:22:36And for you to wait here.
01:22:54Don't feed him too fast, Catherine. It'll make him worse.
01:22:57Where did you get the meat, John?
01:23:00One of our meals was killed by wolves.
01:23:03There's enough soup here to last you for a week.
01:23:06Plenty of wood.
01:23:24You girls got everything ready?
01:23:26We don't want to go, Johnny.
01:23:28We want to stay here with Aunt Sally.
01:23:30Please, Johnny. Please.
01:23:32I don't want to hear any more talk like that. We got to go.
01:23:35But White Elk said we should stay here till he brings help.
01:23:38The baby'd be dead by then.
01:23:40Look at her.
01:23:42If I can keep her alive till we get to Mrs. Whitman,
01:23:45she might have a chance.
01:23:47But if we stay, she'll die.
01:23:49And I've got to go.
01:23:51She'll die.
01:23:53And I promised Mom.
01:23:55You're right, John.
01:23:57That baby needs to be under shelter.
01:24:00In a house with a woman's care.
01:24:03By going on to meet the rescue party,
01:24:06you'll be that much closer.
01:24:13We'll make sure you get help as soon as possible.
01:24:17Thank you, John.
01:24:19I'll be your savior.
01:24:42We didn't know it then,
01:24:44but John's worst fear was staring him dead in the eye.
01:24:49Winter.
01:24:51The colder it got,
01:24:54the harder he pushed us.
01:24:59Look, there's White Elk's tracks again.
01:25:01Francis, you turn Batsy and Silas loose to graze.
01:25:04I'm going to go gather some wood and make a fire.
01:25:07They'll melt the snow off this whole mountain.
01:25:09You mean we get trapped?
01:25:11I reckon.
01:25:15It'll be easy for Dr. Whitman to find us here.
01:25:18What makes you think he'll find us here?
01:25:34White Elk.
01:25:44White Elk.
01:25:52I'm going to sleep all day in the warm sunshine.
01:25:55Then maybe I'll never be cold again.
01:25:57I wish we had something different to eat.
01:26:00I'm tired of eating poor old hyrum.
01:26:03Look, Henrietta's smiling.
01:26:08Johnny, Henrietta smiles.
01:26:11John, you look sad.
01:26:13We're not staying here. We're moving on.
01:26:15But Johnny...
01:26:17Shut up, all of you.
01:26:19Dare say another word, I'll whip the lot out of you.
01:26:22Now, Francis, get that stuff loaded back up on Silas.
01:26:25Okay, then, let's get going.
01:27:12Come on.
01:27:33Cryin' won't bring him back to life.
01:27:36Come on.
01:27:39Straighten up, all of you.
01:27:41We've either got to go on or freeze to death.
01:27:44We've got to quit driving so hard, John.
01:27:47I kept it from you, but I found White Elk dead and scalped.
01:27:51Never made it to the Whitmans.
01:27:54And the only way we're ever going to see them...
01:27:57is to keep on going for as long as I tell you to.
01:28:02Henrietta hasn't moved since the last place we stopped.
01:28:06What things do we leave behind?
01:28:31I don't know.
01:29:02Come on, Louise, we've got to keep going.
01:29:05No, I'm too tired.
01:29:07Francis, stop!
01:29:09Come on, just a little farther.
01:29:11No.
01:29:12Come on.
01:29:13We've got to keep on going, please.
01:29:15No.
01:29:16We've got to keep on going.
01:29:18No, I'm too tired.
01:29:19We've got to freeze.
01:29:20No.
01:29:21Francis!
01:29:22No.
01:29:23Come on.
01:29:24Come on.
01:29:25Come on.
01:29:26Come on.
01:29:27Come on.
01:29:28Come on.
01:29:29Come on.
01:29:30Francis!
01:29:31Elizabeth!
01:29:32Catherine!
01:29:33Come back here!
01:30:00Catherine!
01:30:23Don't worry.
01:30:24Everything is going to be alright.
01:30:26You're in charge now, old trapper.
01:30:56You're in charge now, old trapper.
01:31:26Please, dear Lord, help me.
01:31:56I just knew that if I could get her to you, you'd save her.
01:32:13Please, Mrs. Woodman, don't let her die.
01:32:22She's going to make it, John.
01:32:38Well, if it ain't Rip Van Winkle.
01:32:46How you feeling, boy?
01:32:48Much better.
01:32:49How's Henrietta?
01:32:51Come see for yourself, John.
01:32:55Thanks, Mrs. Woodman, for all you've done.
01:32:58Johnny, isn't this a lovely place?
01:33:00Look what I found to read.
01:33:02Mrs. Woodman says that we can stay as long as we want.
01:33:05Now, if you quit pushing me.
01:33:07Have you forgot Papa's dreams?
01:33:09As soon as spring comes, we're going to go out there and we're going to take up that homestead for him.
01:33:13These little ones need a home and a mother.
01:33:16She's right, John.
01:33:18What if Mr. Carson makes arrangements with the government to hold land for you?
01:33:23Can you do that?
01:33:24Sure, I can.
01:33:25I've got just the spot in mind.
01:33:27It's beautiful.
01:33:28You've never seen land like it.
01:33:30Green as far as the eyes can see.
01:33:32Hundreds of acres.
01:33:34You know, your Pa would be mighty proud of you if you'd set up a homestead there.
01:33:38Is there a meadow there, Mr. Carson?
01:33:40What do you have in mind, boy?
01:33:42Just a place to build that house Mama always wanted.
01:33:48John's promise was this valley.
01:33:52Sheltered by tall trees.
01:33:55Covered with sweet green grass.
01:33:58It was as beautiful as the dream that lived in our hearts.
01:34:03And in the hearts we left behind.
01:34:06Hear the mountain.
01:34:12I hear it call.
01:34:17How young and small.
