Speaker 4: Lieutenant Cybrids. Reporting is ordered, Captain.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's mister Sabitz. I have a special detail for him. Yes, sir,
we've received a report as a band of Brulet Sioux
camped in the North Fork near White. But I want
you to ride out and see what they're up to. Yes, sir,
they're too close to the Bozeman Trail. Better take a
scout with you. I suggest Dan Tolliver. I prefer Pete Haysen. Sir, Oh,
why I don't care for Tolliver. He's the best scout
on the post.
Speaker 4: He's a squaw man.
Speaker 2: You've still got a lot to learn about the West,
mister Saberts. I suggest you might find old Dan Tulliver
a very valuable teacher.
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, Yes, Sari Son.
Speaker 6: I come out of these parts when I was a
lot younger than you might, a lot younger.
Speaker 5: Nothing normal cheeks, but peach.
Speaker 4: Buzz must have been rugged those days.
Speaker 5: Rugged.
Speaker 6: Why, Son, they weren't a town or village tricks Saint
Joe on the Missouri and Moderey on the Pacific, man
had room to breathe. Now look at it, immigrants pushing
west every year, filling the plains with dust and damnation.
I can't say I blame the Indians for being a
might put out about it.
Speaker 4: I'd expect you to look at it that way.
Speaker 5: What do you seeking find by that? Son?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: I understand you've been closer to the Indians than some
of us.
Speaker 6: Well, so I haven't a manner of speaking. Lived amongst
them off and on for many a year. Find people
decent people.
Speaker 4: I saw how decent they were up on the powdered river.
Man doesn't look very pretty after they've been decent to him?
What prior to the states you call home, sir, Pennsylvania?
Speaker 6: Mm hmmm, Well, how do you feel of all of
a sudden a lot of people started crowding into your hometown,
moving on the street you live in, moving right spray
into your house?
Speaker 5: Maybe what do you do?
Speaker 6: I don't know, and I know you throw him out
that's what. Well, this whole prairie belongs to the Indian. Yes, sir,
she's home, and he.
Speaker 7: Feels about it just the same way as you do
about your home.
Speaker 4: It isn't the same thing.
Speaker 5: We might see the same to an Indian.
Speaker 4: That's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: Oh wait, wait, wait a minute, what is it? Indian?
Speaker 4: Where down there in that drawl? Oh yeah, his horse
is bucking.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Look, well, first time I ever knowed an Indian to
get thrown off his horse.
Speaker 1: Let's go. Come on, tell you.
Speaker 4: Ra or snake, it's gonna strike. That's why her horse
threw her.
Speaker 7: Yeah, snake ain't gonna be much used no more.
Speaker 4: You better get a tourniquet on that leg before the
poison starts.
Speaker 7: Movie, and you could use your revolver lanyard.
Speaker 4: Oh sure, Uh, tell her not to be afraid. Tell
her we'll take care of her.
Speaker 8: I understand you.
Speaker 4: Oh well, it's got the blood stopped. Now I'm gonna
have to cut your legs so I can suck out
the poison. I'll try not to hurt you.
Speaker 7: Yeah, she's fainted.
Speaker 4: It's just as well. I had to make sure to
get all that poisonous.
Speaker 7: That Indian blood tastes any different from regular blood.
Speaker 4: Are you talking about blood's blood?
Speaker 7: That's what I've been talking about.
Speaker 4: Help me get her over of my horse.
Speaker 7: Where are you taking her back.
Speaker 2: To the fort?
Speaker 7: Will you think that's smart?
Speaker 4: We can't leave her out here. She needs a doctor's care.
Speaker 7: We could try to find her people's camp and.
Speaker 4: Leave her with them to die of blood poisoning.
Speaker 7: She's only an Indian shine.
Speaker 4: All right, Tolliver, that's enough, Let's get our horses. It's
a long ride back to the fort.
Speaker 2: What you've done may have serious consequences, mister Seyberts.
Speaker 4: What else could I do?
Speaker 1: Sir?
Speaker 2: Do Look from the Indians point of view, you've kidnapped
one of their women.
Speaker 6: Well, I suggested we ought to find her village captain,
but the lieutenant said bring her here.
Speaker 2: We can only hope they didn't see you, and that's doubtful.
Speaker 6: Her pony boted, and when he gets back to camp
without her, there'll be the devil to pay. She ain't
no ordinary squall.
Speaker 2: What do you mean by the look of her clothes
and the way she wears her hair? She could be
the daughter of a chief lieutenant. Seyberts. We're here to
keep the peace, not to commit over to acts of hostility.
Speaker 4: It was only an act of simple Christian charity.
Speaker 2: Lieutenant, you'll form a detail at once and return that
girl to her people.
Speaker 4: But sir, the doctor says, she's got to stay in
bed for at least a couple of days.
Speaker 9: A couple of the guards here well, Post number three
reports a party of Indians righting towards the main gate.
Speaker 5: How many, fifty or sixty of them?
Speaker 4: Sir, what do you think, Dan, My guess she is
to come to parley.
Speaker 2: If you're right, let's see what they want.
Speaker 4: I suppose that's the chief riding in along and Spotted Tail.
Speaker 2: He's always been friendly.
Speaker 6: Well, he ain't dressed up friendly the day, Captain, every
scalp he ever took dangling in the belt.
Speaker 4: Shall I follow in the company, Captain.
Speaker 2: Don't move, sabits greeting's friend. The soldiers of the Great
White Father are honored by the visit of the mighty
spotted Taiale.
Speaker 10: The soldiers of a Great White Father say one thing,
do another? Say want peace? Steal land, shoot buffalo, call
it peace now.
Speaker 11: Steal Indian woman, steal daughter of Spottail.
Speaker 2: Your daughter was not stolen Spotted Tail.
Speaker 1: She was hurt.
Speaker 2: This officer brought her here so the doctor could help her.
Speaker 1: Where he is a wapa.
Speaker 2: My daughter, she is in the hospital. I'll take you
to her.
Speaker 8: It's true, my father, White soldier help me.
Speaker 1: Why why enemy of Indian shave Indian life.
Speaker 2: We do not want to be your enemy's spotted tail.
We want peace. I hear this many times before. I'm
sorry too much. You'll have to go. Now, come, Spotted Tail.
Ahapa must dress, not leave.
Speaker 1: Daughter belong to her people.
Speaker 5: I take, but you can't be moved.
Speaker 8: I move, no, my father, I do as white doctors say.
Speaker 1: You come to the lodge of your father.
Speaker 5: Captain.
Speaker 7: I can't be responsible.
Speaker 2: Spotted Tail.
Speaker 1: Hear me.
Speaker 2: Aha Appa will live. She will be well in a
few days. If you move her now, she may die soon.
Speaker 1: Medicine man, make my daughter well.
Speaker 2: Spotted Tail. You can pitch your lodge outside the fort
until Ahaapa is well again. You can see her every day.
Speaker 1: Tail not agency. Indian is warrior must hunt.
Speaker 2: You can hunt around here. There's plenty of game.
Speaker 1: White soldier. Keep daughter of Spatiale in prison.
Speaker 8: My father wise chief, he knows this. No prison is hospital.
These are no enemy the friend. Ahaa here Awapa stay here.
Speaker 1: I then.
Speaker 2: Be sure, well, mister Sabots, your a little adventure didn't
turn out so badly after all. No, sir, but I
don't advocate rescuing Indian maidens in distress as a substitute
for military duties.
Speaker 4: No, sir, only only what had the captain been in
my place? I feel sure he would have done the
same thing.
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, sir, maybe so, she's a spunky little baggage.
You uh going over to the quarters.
Speaker 4: As a matter of facture, I thought maybe i'd drop
in at the hospital here.
Speaker 2: I see. Well, good luck mister Sibs.
Speaker 4: Thank you, sir. Warning doctor Oh, Lieutenant Cyberts, how's your
patient this morning?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 7: Now I have more than one lieutenant.
Speaker 4: How is she well?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 7: By a curious coincidence, she was inquiring about you this morning?
Speaker 4: About me?
Speaker 7: Yes, she asked me to send for you.
Speaker 4: Why why didn't you ask her?
Speaker 5: It's quite well enough to talk to.
Speaker 4: Now, thanks doctor, warning, ma'am?
Speaker 8: Now is good?
Speaker 4: Are you feeling better?
Speaker 8: A pain all gone?
Speaker 4: That's fine?
Speaker 8: A how upa all life to lieutenant? Apa? Belong Lieutenant,
I beg pardon how else? Ahaba show?
Speaker 4: Thanks by getting well quickly is not enough. It's all
the thanks I need.
Speaker 8: It's strange.
Speaker 4: What is strange?
Speaker 8: White man, Indian? Both men? White men think different.
Speaker 4: That's because we've been taught differently.
Speaker 8: Ahapa like way white men think. You teach Allapa think
this way.
Speaker 4: That's quite a large order. But you do.
Speaker 8: First you teach Aha speak white man tongue.
Speaker 4: You speak English very well? Not good?
Speaker 8: Ahaa, think you teach better.
Speaker 4: I'll be glad to try.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 8: You begin now?
Speaker 4: Ah, I don't know where to begin?
Speaker 8: How does lieutenant call himself?
Speaker 5: Me?
Speaker 8: Aha? What lieutenant?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: My name is Cybrits, Richard Cyberts, Richard.
Speaker 8: Good See Ah, I learned first important English world.
Speaker 2: Mister, sir, mister Seyberts. I may be mistaken, but I
don't believe I saw any change in the order of
the day.
Speaker 4: I beg pardon, sir.
Speaker 2: Since when have sash and plume been indicated as proper
dress for the officer in charge of guard mount?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: Well, it isn't, sir, but I thought it might be
good for the morale, the morale of whom Why the
men's are naturally how's that, lieutenant?
Speaker 1: Well? Sir?
Speaker 4: It also occurred to me that it might make a
good impression on the Indians around the post. They put
a lot of stock in their own headdresses and ceremonial regalia.
I thought it might be a good idea to show
them what our address uniform.
Speaker 2: Looks like, Lieutenant Seibertz. The only Indian who witnessed this
guard mount was Ahuapa. I'd noticed that, and had you
noticed that each time you are the officer of the day,
she is here on the parade ground to watch you
change the guard. So I guess she's interested in soldiers, sir,
soldiers or a certain soldier.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't know, Sir.
Speaker 2: I believe you're off duty now, Yes, sir, Then, Lieutenant,
I suggest you shouldn't keep the lady waiting, Yes.
Speaker 4: Sir, Thank you, sir. It always makes me a little
sad to say such a sunset so beautiful.
Speaker 12: My people say they not wish to die, and each
evening great spirit must fight with it until it died
bloody death, and only when it scalped will night come.
Speaker 8: Warrior may sleep gain strength to meet new day.
Speaker 4: My people say the sun is a handsome god who
rides across the sky in a golden chariot. Forever chasing
the beautiful goddess who is the moon?
Speaker 8: And does he ever catch her?
Speaker 4: Never? He said, story he should catch her, He can't,
for he belongs to the day and she did the knight.
Speaker 8: But if he did catch her, what would happen?
Speaker 4: Who knows? So great is their love? Perhaps the heavens
would burst into blinding flame, consuming everything. Oh yes, but
he would have got her, Yes, he would have caught her.
Speaker 8: He gone, now, your handsome sun god gone over edge
of world. Great spirit has killed him.
Speaker 4: Oh no, he's not dead. Look over in the east.
The moon goddess comes following after.
Speaker 8: Richard. Yes, I am that moon goddess. You are that
god of Sun, and I follow you always and never
never may I got you.
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 4: No, I won't run away over the edge of the
world like the Sun. I'll stay here with you always always.
Speaker 8: You're not afraid of blinding flame that consume everything? I'm
not afraid, then, I'm not afraid.
Speaker 1: Good evening the Cybergs.

lot in common?
Speaker 2: What do you mean?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 10: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: If you'll pardon me, mister Harry Shan, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: Now wait now, nothing like a pretty little squad to
change a man's mind about Indians?
Speaker 4: Is their shun? You filthy?
Speaker 7: I wait, there's no farce to get your dander up.
Speaker 1: I was just a.
Speaker 2: Hey, hey, now, what's this all about?
Speaker 7: Captain Quinch. You are to take better care of this.
Speaker 5: Young man of yours. He seems my touchy Mister Sabbath.
Speaker 2: You're aware of the regulations covering the conduct of officers
in uniform, yes, sir, only you'll consider yourself confined to
quarters until further notice, Yes, sir. Captain Quinn's reporting, sir.
Speaker 9: Morningly here you referee a little scuffle over at the
Suttlers last night. Yeah, yes, sir, one of our officers
fighting a civilian.
Speaker 2: Well, Major Daggett. As far as I can see, he
was provoked. Did Dan Tolliver attack him? No, Sir, Tolliver
was taunting him about the Indian girl.
Speaker 9: Cyber's in love with her. Apparently, well, his love affair
will have to wait. We've got more important things to
worry about. That's why I sent for you. Yes, sir,
just got a dispatch from Fort Kearney. Some idiot Kansas
militia outfit attacked the Cheyenne village last week.
Speaker 2: But we have a treaty. We're at peace with the Geyenne.
Speaker 9: Apparently it didn't mean a thing to those brave civilian soldiers.
They attacked without warning of provocation, massacred every man, woman
and child in the village. Come in, pardon, sir, Yes, sergeant,
what is it? The Indians are pulled out. It was
there last night, but this morning they ain't a single
teepee down by the river, just a couple of stray dogs.
Speaker 2: They got the news quicker than we did. They always do.
Speaker 9: A party of Cheyenne is killed and the Sioux take
to the war path. We may have a general uprising
in our hands. Have your company ready to move out
in half an hour, Captain, Yes, sir.
Speaker 8: Is not good for a daughter of chief to be
tied like prisoner.
Speaker 11: He is not good for a daughter of chief to
refuse to follow her people to war.
Speaker 8: We are now many matches from white man on timey.
Now I shall stay with my people.
Speaker 5: It's good.
Speaker 10: You will get will in your mind now the white
man medicine make your body well, but your mind sick.
Speaker 1: You will be well now.
Speaker 8: There is much good about white man.
Speaker 1: He killed our people.
Speaker 8: Not white man at Fort Laramie. It was others. And
it was not our people who were killed. It was
a Chayan. We at peace with white men at Fort.
Speaker 1: Laramie, white man, white man in your in your and soon.
Speaker 8: White man will kill us all. If we will not
make peace.
Speaker 1: With him, then we will die brave in battle, not
drawn on reservation.
Speaker 8: You will warrior will, But what of women? What of me?
Speaker 10: For many moon dark Elk warn you for his wife,
marry him and have many babies.
Speaker 12: I will remain with my people as long as I live,
that I promise. But I will never marry dark Elk
or any other Indian. Another glass of punch made you,
Captain Quinn.
Speaker 2: Thank him his devenport on Christmas Eve? Why not take it.
Speaker 11: Well?
Speaker 2: Merry Christmas, Lee, Merry Christmas. Major.
Speaker 4: There's young Cybers.
Speaker 2: Thought the doctor was letting him out of the hospital
at last, And he'll be along presently. Major. I have
a suggestion to make if I may sure, go Aheadly,
this has been a bad winter so far, it looks
like it's going to be worse. The Indians are only
bound feel it. Game is scarce. They haven't the advantages
of the treaty supplies. We were finishing them before they
took the war path. Watch you suggestion ly call them
in for a peace parley as soon as the snow's milt,
say April first, Maybe we can end this useless bloodshed.
Speaker 9: Maybe, but I don't think they'll come. Why not after
that massacre in Kansas last summer. They won't forget. I
can't say as I blame them. Where the tries and
it's a certainly anything's worth a trying.
Speaker 2: Lieutenant, how's the arm?
Speaker 4: Doctor says it's gonna be all right, sir.
Speaker 2: Lucky he didn't lose it. You should have seen it.
Major arrow cracked the bone, pinned his arm against his side.
As a miracle, he's alive.
Speaker 9: I know those were spotted tails warriors, Lieutenant, Yes, sir,
any idea who got you?
Speaker 4: Yes, sir, warrior name dark Yelk. He was after my
scalp by shot him.
Speaker 2: That changed your opinion of Indians Lieutenant.
Speaker 4: No, sir, they're a fine race of people, Sir, I
mean beg pardon, sir, As lieutenant, what is a party
of Indians approaching the poster war party? No, sir, women
and children along with the braves.
Speaker 9: Yeah, maybe we'll have a peace partly. After all, Let's
go out and meet him. Now, where's Captain Quinch?
Speaker 4: Right outside, Sir.
Speaker 2: Major. It's Spotted Tale and I.
Speaker 1: See it is greeting soldiers of the Great Wife Falla.
Speaker 2: Greetings, brave Spotted Tail.
Speaker 1: I come in peace and in sorrow.
Speaker 2: What sorrow is the mighty chief of the Sioux.
Speaker 11: My doll Auapa had gone beyond the sunset to join
the Great Spirit.
Speaker 4: She's dead.
Speaker 9: The soldiers of the Great White Father joined in the
sorrow of Spotted Tail.
Speaker 1: The winter was long and cold. There was little to eat.
Speaker 11: A fever came to a Wapa and would not leave
her until at last she left me forever. But before
she fell into long sleep, she asked two favors.
Speaker 1: One I can grant, the other I must ask of you.
Speaker 2: And what are those favorites? Spotted Tail?
Speaker 1: She asked me to make peace with a white man.
I have come to make peace.
Speaker 2: It is good spotted tail, and what is the faver
you must ask of me?
Speaker 1: Oh Wapa love white man?
Speaker 10: Oh Wapa say, if she cannot be with white man
in life, then she wished to be with him in death.
Speaker 1: Oh Wapa ask to be buried for love of me?
Speaker 2: It shall be done.

funeral detail full military honors?
