Captain. 10 00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: He sent for me, and you have come. 11 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 4: Red Horse alone believed you would come. 12 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: He's an old friend. Is he alone? 13 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,319 Speaker 4: The great spirit Chief is near, but Red Horse is alone. 14 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:55,439 He waits for you. 15 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:07,439 Speaker 5: And Snowfoot, Yeah, my old friend. 16 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: Come sit by me. Thank you, Red Horse. 17 00:02:18,439 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 6: I knew you would come. There's a feel of the 18 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,960 heart between us. I sent for you and Snowfoot, my son, 19 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,919 and I knew you would come. 20 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,159 Speaker 2: Will Snowfoot come as a father? 21 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,879 Speaker 6: I hope he will as a man. I know he 22 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,120 will not. I cannot blame him. I can to come 23 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,080 to me is to come on to the reservation. Snowfoot 24 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,840 will never do that. He is young and certain of 25 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,840 many things. 26 00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: Snowfoot howl. Now about fifteen. 27 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,719 Speaker 6: The last leaves fall from the trees before the first snowfall. 28 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,919 My son will begin his sixteenth winterer. His mind moves quickly, 29 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,520 but he is yet too young for wisdom. 30 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,159 Speaker 2: If he is all you say, maybe the wisdom will come. 31 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,080 But he's heading for trouble. Red Horse, he in that 32 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,680 pack of young braves with him, so farther, content to 33 00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:29,319 ride fast, make a lot of noise that won't last. 34 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,439 You know, Snowfoot has not killed, not yet as far 35 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,439 as we know. But he's wild. He'll be looking for 36 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,120 coop feathers you don't get them, running off horses and 37 00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:43,520 firing empty cabins. 38 00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:46,039 Speaker 7: These are my mistakes. He is making. 39 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: You know better than that red horse, my good. 40 00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:53,199 Speaker 6: Friend, Believe what I say. I know better in this 41 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,400 moment than I have ever known. It is the privilege 42 00:03:57,439 --> 00:03:59,840 of the very old as well as the very young, 43 00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:04,199 to be certain. And the years in between you are 44 00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:08,520 living them. They are a time of learning and unlearning, 45 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,280 of being right and being wrong, of slow courage and 46 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,840 quick anger, years of growing. 47 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,759 Speaker 2: If it's in the man to grow, I. 48 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 6: Put food in his mouth that he might grow strong 49 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:27,160 of body, and I've fed his mind on bitterness and hate. 50 00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:32,959 I take credit for one, I must take blame for 51 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:33,439 the other. 52 00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: You're you're tired, Red Horse, I'll go now. Come another time, 53 00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:45,639 my good friend. There can be no other time. You 54 00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:50,000 and I have always shared wise counsel. You think a 55 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,240 fever speaks in me because you never saw the part 56 00:04:54,319 --> 00:04:57,600 of Red Horse which neew hate and bitterness. But it 57 00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:02,959 was there, and I knee and dislodge. Snowfoot learned to 58 00:05:03,079 --> 00:05:06,480 distrust the white man. It's time he learned otherwise, it's 59 00:05:06,519 --> 00:05:08,279 time he thought for himself. 60 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,519 Speaker 6: If he were at my side, I would tell him that. 61 00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 2: Would he listen? 62 00:05:13,959 --> 00:05:14,959 Speaker 7: I am his father. 63 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 2: You sent for him as his father. He's not here. 64 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,160 My heart knows that well, Red Horse. I came here 65 00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:32,600 as your friend. I speak as your friend. If Snowfoot 66 00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:37,000 finds trouble, it's his trouble, not yours. If I find him, 67 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,120 I'll deal with him as I find him, as Snowfoot, 68 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,800 not as a son of Red Horse. 69 00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:48,079 Speaker 6: You prove you are my friend. You speak to me 70 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,480 now as you have always spoken. There are those who 71 00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:56,560 promise empty words to a dying man. To do this 72 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,959 would be to dishonor our friendship. 73 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 2: And when I find him. 74 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 6: Tell him a chief stand straight among all people. Tell 75 00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:12,079 him a man cannot stand straight when his mind is crooked. 76 00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 2: I can promise that Red Horse, you give me peace. 77 00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 6: Go now, my friend. You cannot hear him come, but 78 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:30,120 he is near. The great spirit Chief comes only for 79 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:30,959 a red horse. 80 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,959 Speaker 2: Red Horse, I have no fear. 81 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 6: It is a gentle time, and I am ready. 82 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,639 Speaker 2: You are the one who sent for Snowfoot. 83 00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 4: I rode to his camp myself. 84 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,439 Speaker 2: Where is his camp on dry Fork. 85 00:07:03,959 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 4: Near the joining waters of the Powder River. You think 86 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,319 he will come with you, Captain. 87 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:11,879 Speaker 2: I don't know. 88 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,439 Speaker 4: I told him Red Horse was dying. He called it 89 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,279 white man's trick to get him to come on the reservation. 90 00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:24,040 I hope you'll reach him in time. 91 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,439 Speaker 2: It's too late for Red Horse. It may even be 92 00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:31,279 too late for Snowfoot. 93 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,279 Speaker 8: Pickets are out, Sir. I just wrote a check on camp. 94 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: Everything's quiet, too quiet for me, mister Sabats, as Sergeant 95 00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:51,079 Gorse returned from the telegraphers. 96 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,879 Speaker 8: Not yet, cap'n. You expect trouble. 97 00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:00,519 Speaker 2: I expect quiet. Patrolling.

Before I had reached the agent's house, the death 101 00:08:14,399 --> 00:08:15,560 song had begun. 102 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 8: Indian ways are primitive. I don't understand them. 103 00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 2: You understand funerals, funerals, anybody's funeral, white man, red man. 104 00:08:25,279 --> 00:08:29,920 A man dies with dignity, but the mourner's wail music plays, 105 00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:31,439 songs are sung. 106 00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 8: I guess you're right. 107 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I telegraph the major for new orders, mister Sabits. 108 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:43,440 If they come through, you'll be in charge of the 109 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,799 patrol here new orders, Captain.

He hasn't been rating lately unless 114 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:58,639 you have new information. 115 00:08:58,879 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 2: If he's done nothing'll be easier to talk to. 116 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 8: I don't see your sentimental side often. 117 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: You think you see it now, mister Seberts. 118 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 8: Red Horse was your friend.

It was a big raid, a lot 182 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,320 of horses. From all we know, Snowfoot has a small camp. 183 00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:55,679 Not over twenty braves ride with him. It was Black 184 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,759 Eagle or someone like him with old enemies. Settlers were 185 00:12:59,759 --> 00:13:03,120 all at least two of them were the two men 186 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,519 who weren't scalped. I wondered about that. Yeah, there's an 187 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,279 old belief among some Indians that an unscalped enemy suffers 188 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,600 after death.
