235
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.679
<v Speaker 1>one hundred, one hundred and one until between the tiny

236
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:26.399
<v Speaker 1>towns of Cameron and Surrey, the indomitable engineer made one

<v Speaker 1>The key is Chicago.

252
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:11.600
<v Speaker 9>WHOA.

253
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Thus, then, in nineteen five did death Vali Scotty travel

254
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.600
<v Speaker 1>faster than any man had ever traveled before, and American

255
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:25.200
<v Speaker 1>railroading chalked up a record which was to stand for

256
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:28.840
<v Speaker 1>thirty years until the present era of diesel power streamline trains,

257
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and still today, death Vally Scotty remains an enigma, still

258
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:34.440
<v Speaker 1>a legend of the desert, where he rains in baronial

259
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:37.200
<v Speaker 1>splendor in a tremendous castle built from the proceeds of

260
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:38.080
<v Speaker 1>his hidden mind.

261
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Desert rats say they.

262
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Never saw much gold dust in Scotty's folk, yet in

263
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>twenty years he has spent three million dollars. The secret

264
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:49.679
<v Speaker 1>remains locked in Scotty's heart. For two generations of prospectors

265
00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:52.480
<v Speaker 1>have failed to find Scotty's mind, a mind so well

266
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.080
<v Speaker 1>hidden that Scotty has never even filed the claim on it.

267
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Scotty still makes headlines whenever he emerges from the silence

268
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:02.039
<v Speaker 1>of Death Valley, the chamber of a romantic quest. The

269
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:04.879
<v Speaker 1>world still act What will death Valiscatti?

270
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:05.480
<v Speaker 4>You neck?

271
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:12.000
<v Speaker 3>While an expanding America, breathing the vital air of the

272
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.840
<v Speaker 3>twentieth century, was taking its place in the modern world

273
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:17.399
<v Speaker 3>from the depths of its soul beat, an old rhythm,

274
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.360
<v Speaker 3>the rhythm of the jungle drums, the wail.

275
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Of the slave ship, the nostalgic song.

276
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:25.919
<v Speaker 3>Of the bundsman, the thin patter of evanjol played before

277
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:35.200
<v Speaker 3>a neatros cabin under a southern moon. They played it

278
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.120
<v Speaker 3>in New Orleans, they played it in Memphis. They played

279
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:40.960
<v Speaker 3>it in river bottomtowns along the Mississippi for a decade

280
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:43.480
<v Speaker 3>while the rest of the world jiggled two rag time.

281
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.519
<v Speaker 3>They coined a name for it, and they gave America

282
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:48.639
<v Speaker 3>it's only distinct contribution to music.

283
00:14:49.279 --> 00:15:01.000
<v Speaker 4>Yes, while the air of the ward jaded.

284
