of fighting.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Men who rode the rim of Empire, and the dramatic
story of lee Quin's captain of cavalry.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
This is as far as.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
We go, mis Soon. That's your line.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
The creak ahead you can want to use stuck there,
We'll wait for that and head back. Waw whoa.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Back there.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
We're stopping a spell.
Speaker 7 (02:01):
This the end of the line for us, Captain.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
That's what the order says, Sogen. Yes, sir, tell them
in the dismountain unsaddle pin grays and water.
Speaker 7 (02:09):
Take your mouth, captain.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Thanks. I want to talk to the driver.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
You've seen him then up on the rim.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, they're keeping their distance.
Speaker 8 (02:19):
Ain't every wagon train pushing west gets two escorts, cavalry.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And the engines.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Of course, I'll tell him.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
This Mount dunsawn E Grave water, this maup non sat.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Mind your stock, don't take on water too fast.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
You're planning to stick to the Oregon Trail driver.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I'd be a plain fool if I didn't with their
engines stirring me down from the top of the canyon.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I don't think they'll bother him. They're not hungry. We
butchered some beef in the agency for him last week.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Fancy we'd look too good to him trying to Mangie
looking out for ain't we?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I've seen worse. You're all right, so long as you
don't get any ideas about the old Bozeman trail.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Well, let's close now, ain't it.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah? By treaty. That's what's bothering our friends up there
in the rim.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
They think we aim to cut up to Montana country.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Some of the wagons try it.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Lots of gold up there, ain't the captain?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, And lots of soup and lots of a rapper hole.
It's all Indian country. Bozeman trails closed, forts and posts
are abandoned.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I tell you the truth, Captain. I kind of had
my heart set and panning myself a fortune or two.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
You wouldn't get to the first turn in that trail.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
No, for wouldn't I know? It wouldn't well, had my
heart set and on plot of ground and Oregon too.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Sure you'll live longer.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
You were going up there to the rim. Captain, talk
to them engines, what for? Tell them to leave us be.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
That's reservation land thereon. They'll leave you be long as
you're set straight along the Oregon trail. They haven't bothered
a wagon train since the treaty.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Well, I can wait till I settle an Oregon. Then
maybe drop down to the Motherlode country. If I want
gold bad enough.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, if you want it bad enough, you.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
You don't have it? Do your captain? Have it?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
The itch?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
The fever that sits on a man makes them want
to find gold more than anything.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
That kind of fever can get you killed, mister, Yes.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Sir, I bet it can. Well, don't you worry yourself
about me, Captain, Me and this little wagon trainer is
staying right smack on the Oregon trail.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Good.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Oh, i'd watch my stock if I were you. There's
alkali in these streams.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
Do here.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Won't kill them, but too much you'll make them sick.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I'll keep an eye on them. Well, good luck to you, mister,
But thanks kindly, captain, for sure much obliged. You're rode
this far with us, all right, we'll watch you out
of side. I'd like that.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah, that's if you get a move on, you're wasting
daylight at this right, valuable stuff out here, mister.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Kind of like gold, captain, Yeah, kind of like gold.
Speaker 9 (05:31):
Indians made no move to follow the train.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Oh they left the rim of the canyon a little
before we did.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
You can't be sure they didn't ride on ahead intercept
the train when it was out of your sight.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
They weren't headed that way, But I can't be sure.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
I keep feeling like we're sitting on a powder keg lee,
slightest little jar blow up to a full scale war.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
It's got me edgy, You got company? You Red Cloud?
Why do you think those Indians were lining the rim
of that canyon?
Speaker 9 (06:04):
I guess they can't believe it either.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
It's not much of a peace, Captain if we spend
all our time watching them just to find out they're
watching back.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Oh, major beats killing each other.
Speaker 9 (06:18):
You like Red Cloud?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Don't you leave?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I like him.
Speaker 9 (06:24):
Do you trust him?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
He signed the treaty, hasn't broken it yet, then you
do trust him. I don't think he'll be the one
to break the treaty if that's what you mean. You
think we will is?
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Eh? No, not we.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
But I saw something in that wagon train driver that
breaks treaties. He called it a itch, a fever fever
for gold.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
He told me.
Speaker 9 (06:52):
You warn him about going up the old Bozeman trail.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I warned him. I don't think he'll try it, but
if he doesn't, someone with a fever will. If not
the Bozeman, then they'll break new trails up into the
Big Horn Range, over into Black Hills.
Speaker 9 (07:05):
That's all Indian territory. We've both read the treaty, Major
and Red Clouds signed it, so did we?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Now what do we have to do?
Speaker 9 (07:12):
Read it to every wagon train that stops at Fort Laramie.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
You ask me if I trusted Red Cloud. I trust
him till the next white man goes into Indian country
looking for gold. I suppose you're right. He got what
he wanted, Powder River Country, Black Hills for hunting grounds.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
That covers everything to the north and east of us,
and we better stay out of it. MM tell that
to the men with a gold fever.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I do when I see him.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
Lee, if you were sitting in my chair, what would
you do if you had to translate this problem to Washington?
I dessert, Now you wouldn't You'd have a plan what
would it be about white men going into Indian country.
We can't protect him.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
We'll have to try to keep him from going in.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
That's what I want to know.
Speaker 9 (08:02):
Can we stop them?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
We can try, maybe with official orders, we can keep
them from going in in numbers. If we catch them,
lock them up as treaty violated, and if they persist
for provoking an active war, I'd shoot them.
Speaker 9 (08:20):
I said, you'd have a plan, all right.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I'd start by redoubling our patrols all along the north Platte.
We don't have the manpower. Let the infantry secure the garrison.
I'll take a patrol out right now.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Ah, you just got back. You're tired.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I'm not tired.
Speaker 9 (08:35):
All right, the men are tired.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Got another plan? What's that? I need a drink?
Speaker 9 (08:43):
Why don't you go on over, Kevin? Maybe i'll join
you later.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Here's a major.
Speaker 10 (09:05):
Why, Lee, I didn't know you were back.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Got back last night?
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Willa you.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
You was a barmaid here.
Speaker 10 (09:14):
Now dad's waiting on some trade in the store. Here,
help yourself.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I say, I wanted a drink.
Speaker 10 (09:24):
If you'd come to see me, you'd have come last night.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
It was.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It was late last night.
Speaker 10 (09:31):
That sounded a lot like an explanation.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Lee, I, I guess I thought you wanted one.
Speaker 10 (09:38):
When you see me. It's because you want to see me.
That's a good thing to know.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, maybe it is.
Speaker 10 (09:47):
Are you finished with this?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
It's the matter you running out of whiskey almost not planning.
He doesn't run out, not when he can still get
his price. What isn't that?
Speaker 10 (09:58):
It's those men with him?
Speaker 6 (10:00):
What about him?
Speaker 10 (10:01):
But they're not drinking here, they're taking with them.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Huh where they're going?
Speaker 6 (10:06):
I don't know wherever it is.
Speaker 10 (10:08):
They must expect to stay a long time. Isn't ten
gallons of whiskey and awful Lotly?
Speaker 3 (10:16):
A couple of drinks of this whiskey is an awful lot?
Speaker 6 (10:19):
See?
Speaker 11 (10:19):
Will you recollect that last ship with the boots we
got in? I thought we'd put them in stock. But
I cannot lay my hands home.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Aren't you going to speak to lead that he can't
see me? Willer for the dollar signs in his eyes?
Speaker 11 (10:31):
Oh well, good afternoon, captain. His glass is empty.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Will you offering me a drink on the house? Pliny
on the house?
Speaker 11 (10:40):
Oh well, I just didn't naturally suppose you were buying
you a drinks, Captain, Dad. Of course credit is available
for an old friend like you. Captain, I trust you.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
That's your idea of a compliment, pliny.
Speaker 11 (10:53):
Oh boots, that was, wasn't it? Of course boots. I
can't back here to ask about the boots.
Speaker 10 (10:57):
I don't know how you could miss them. They're right
next to the cash box.
Speaker 11 (11:00):
Oh my goodness, yes, of course they must be there.
Then swiping you go read to hit captain, just buy
yourself another drink.
Speaker 10 (11:07):
I don't know what to do about him except love
him in spite of himself.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Well, you'll never be poor.
Speaker 10 (11:14):
William and Dowries are still in style.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Lee, maybe I ask for that.
Speaker 10 (11:23):
Are you going to have that other drink?
Speaker 12 (11:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Thanks, this one is on the host. Oh you don't
want to break his heart?
Speaker 7 (11:29):

Speaker 11 (12:01):
Well, he is spending quite a lot of money, Captain.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Yeah, I aim to spend a lot more, maybe with you,
soldier boy.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I got nothing to sell, mister.
Speaker 11 (12:12):
Well, you could might give him some information, couldn't you, captain.
He's such a good customer.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
You want to quit bobbing around in front of me.
Speaker 11 (12:20):
I have a no offense, though not slats a bit offense.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Excuse me, that's better. You want to drink, soldier.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I'm in a hurry, mister.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
You must know this country pretty good. I'm looking for horses, goodns.
You're no here news today.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Most of the settlers around here have horses.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
I said, good horses. I've seen the crow bait they
pass off for horses over in Laramie Village. I mean
goodnes strong, take a lot of riding. That's what I want.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
How many?
Speaker 11 (12:57):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:58):
For? Say?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Well?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
The suitor ranch is about your best bet. It's a
good day's ride from here. Which way west? Due west?
You can see the ranch house from the Oregon Trail.
I ain't hidden west and south near Cheyenne. I ain't
heading south. I can't help you, mister.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
You're not trying too hard.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Ah, your soldier hard enough plenty. You'd better get your
cash customer out of my way.
Speaker 11 (13:29):
Please, gentlemen, no rough housing. This is a respectful place
of business.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
You know. I told you quit bobbing in here ever
so often.
Speaker 11 (13:38):
I only meant to help.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
You got any more shoving around you want.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
To do, mister, yeah, kind of forget my money's reckon?
You speak your piece better, you get paid for it.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
What are you trying to buy a crack skull?
Speaker 6 (14:06):
All right? All right, I picked the wrong soldier. What's
he so sore about?
Speaker 11 (14:16):
Well, he just misunderstood you. Now here, I'll help you
pick up.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Your money, all right. If I sit next to your soldier,
help your falcon. You get used to the food and
(14:48):
the time. Do you eating free? Incher, it's free enough?
You look like a smart man, Soldier, I ain't. I
ain't here better.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
You've been talking with somebody dumber and me, then Pliny Sutler.
He put your next to the free meal here in
the barracks. That'd be Pliny, him and me. We're dumb
in different ways.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
He says. You know all this to know about horses.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
I've ridden them, eating a few.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
That's all I has to know about him.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
We're the best horses around here, soldier.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
Up in the cavalry stables, I'd like to lay my
hands on for goodness.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Well, now you could try, but you might get yourself
shot and trying.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
I'm talking about buying horses, not stealing them.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
I don't think the cavalry's got any horses for sale.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Mister, are you trying to understand me? Soldier?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
I'm trying harder to eat.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
How much money you make a month? Where those three
stripes years?
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Now, that just plane took my appetite.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Regular soldier makes fifty cents a day. I figure those
stripes give you a bit more.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
You want to raise my pay?
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Is that it? I want four good horses, You get
them for me. I'll see you get better in a raise.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
You just passing through?
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Are you mystery? That's all? Don't worry about the money.
I got it.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
What are you figuring on using horses for riding? Four
horses for riding?
Speaker 6 (16:45):
There's two of us. It's hard riding. You won't get
the money just asking questions, Soldier.
Speaker 9 (16:55):
I guess i'd have to see that money.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
We're gonna do business, are we?
Speaker 7 (17:00):
You got a right price?
Speaker 6 (17:01):
We'll do business this place. You'd get the horses, and
they be near the fort, near enough branch.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
If I told you about it, you will need me.
I wouldn't collect that money you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
You're not dumb, soldier, You're not dumb. A bit. Look here,
Well you've seen the money now, that ain't all money, mister.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Some of them pouches they just don't bulge right for silver?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
You see real good? Don't you?
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Anybody tell you there's an assay office over in Laraman Village?
Speaker 6 (17:45):
They might not if I'd have asked.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
You want some advice?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Mister, I want some horses.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
You better not be finding Golden Engine country.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
There's a treaty now says.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
You can't go in there?
Speaker 6 (17:57):
Is that a fact?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Listen?
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Of course you got permission from the engine soldier. I
got ten gallons of whiskey. That's a lot of permission,
providing I wanted it. Now, then, man, I took your advice.
You're gonna take my money and.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
A lot sooner take you?
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Mister? You're going along with me? Or ain't you?
Speaker 9 (18:21):
I'm going with you all the way?
Speaker 8 (18:23):
What's the id you just got yourself from military escort,
mister clean through the main gate of Ford Larami.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Well, of course, how'd you keep from roughing them up.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
The same way you did?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I guess.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Flying in.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Miss Willis said you went plumb white keeping from hurting him.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yep, one of us should have busted him. You might
have stuck around to prefer a chargers, not this one.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
You didn't want any trouble, just horses. I fired my
way out of stuffed him in the stockade last night
instead of thrown him off the post.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
He just says, you can't hold a man for what
you think he's going to do.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
He told him about it.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Last night, after you told me that was gold in them.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
Pout as sure as anything.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
I didn't have to look inside.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, sure it was gold, and it was picks and
shovels and pans. He bought it the sutlers. I got
that much out of plany last night, you know, forgetting
the whiskey, and I'm not forgetting like he's not. He's
got the horses by now too. We can't stop him
from getting horses. Sergeant. We just don't have to help him.
(19:45):
You were You were smart to hear him out. I
should have been a little smarter.
Speaker 8 (19:51):
He'd stand to talk freer to me, saying I'd have
more need of money. I had to throw him out
for he worked his way any further down the wage scale.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I knew a trooper, once deserted, sold his mount saddled
everything up to his kirtcheer for one hundred dollars.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
It's the best part of a year's pay. You think
the Major stands still for us taking off after him?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Mister Seybertz brings his patrol in tomorrow night. We're not
going anywhere until he's back. It sounds like an order,
and Major Daggets can't prove anything going after him.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
Goes cavalry patrol.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Maybe it'd scare him awful A little oh man that
stupid doesn't scare. He'd rather be scalped than be poor.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
If he goes in, we can all get scalped trying
to save his lousy hide.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
Sure like a better excuse to fight.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
A war.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
We all would, Sergeant.
Speaker 12 (20:59):
Right about there, sir, they were following Rawhide Creek, moving north.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
How many men, mister Savage, two men, four horses, four mules.
Speaker 12 (21:11):
I couldn't tell enough through the glasses to describe what
they looked like.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I know what one of them look like.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
We can't be sure of that, Captain, mister Seberts, you
say you fired a signal at them, Can you be
sure they heard it?
Speaker 7 (21:23):
They heard it, sir.
Speaker 12 (21:24):
I never took the glasses off them, and when we fired,
they stopped and looked at us. The whole patrol made
signs for them to come back.
Speaker 9 (21:32):
You think they saw you, understood your signs. I know
they saw us.
Speaker 12 (21:37):
One of them had field glasses too, Captain, train right
on us as they started moving north again.
Speaker 9 (21:44):
Is that all, Lieutenant? That completes your reports?
Speaker 12 (21:47):
That's all, sir, Except well, I wish I could have
stopped them from.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Going in, sir.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Oh, you did all you could, mister Sabags.
Speaker 9 (21:56):
Thank you, captain every bit you could.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Lieutenant.
Speaker 9 (21:59):
I go on, get some rest. That's an order, yes, sir,
may you, sir?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Captain?
Speaker 9 (22:07):
Sir all right, captain, what would you have done in
his place?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Exactly as he did? Glad to hear that.
Speaker 9 (22:27):
But now you want to go after the prospectors.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I want permission to go to Red Cloud to keep
him from being killed, to keep a war from starting.
The man I saw knows as chances everybody warned him.
I got no feeling for him. I want to think
about it, Captain. While you're thinking a runner could be
on his way to Red Cloud, I'm aware of that.
(22:49):
And while you're thinking Red Cloud could be on his
way here in paint and war bonnets if he is
a runner, wouldn't stop him? He might, I'd say, that's
the chance we got to take, the only chance we
have got.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
If the runner gets through and Red Cloud agrees to
powow with you, what.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Then I'll ask him to let us find the prospectors
and deal with them our way, And if he's found
them first, I'll take their bodies off his hands.
Speaker 9 (23:23):
How many men do you want, Captain, Sergeant Gorse? Just
one man?
Speaker 3 (23:28):
I want to stop a war major, and not start one.
Red Cloud is not likely to consent to a full company.
Speaker 9 (23:36):
The runner will leave the post in an hour. When
can you and Sergeant Gorse leave?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Tell your runner, we'll try hard not to get ahead
of them.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
That's Black Hill's country ahead.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Ain't a captain, eh? If you can see it over
the war bonnets.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
Red Cloud's not taking any chance, would you guys now, sir?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
I just keep hoping they're getting an eye full of
this white flag I'm toting.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
There in the hills. They got the best view. We
just keep riding me as far as the stream. We'll
drop our gun belts when we get there and wait
for Red Cloud.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Yes, I guess if I'm gonna die in the cavalry.
I just soon do it with you as anybody.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Captain.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
You could be back at Fort Laramie, getting rich selling
horses to prospectors.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
The air is cleaner out here, as long as it lasts.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
The gun belt goes.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
Oh, how could I forget a little madder like that?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
You spoke? Yeah, Red Cloud?
Speaker 6 (25:21):
All right?
Speaker 8 (25:23):
Two braves with him and a couple hundred in the hills,
and be a thousand as long as they stay up there.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
You honor our flag, Red Cloud. We thank you.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Where is honoring white man for treaty boundaries?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
It comes slow to some white men. I came to
ask your patients, Red Cloud.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Patient stretchers in time like an old hided breach, And
he's no more.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Since we smoked the pipe. We've handed over your renegades
to let your people deal with them.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Bring white men here, you will deal with them how
they're alive. I did not come here to deliver dead men.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Then they'll be put in the stockade and kept there.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
You have been our friend. Tell your people, Red Cloud
will not power again. Next time, warriors not stay in hills.
Next time, white men dead white men.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
I'll tell them, Red Cloud. I hope they listen.
Speaker 2 (27:21):

Next week, another transcribed story of the Northwest Frontier and
the troopers who fought under Lee Quince Captain of Cavalry.
Time was a man who wanted to get away from
it all. Could hide in the cellar, take a walk
(28:45):

best way is not to hide, walk off, or hunt
for a cave, but to join the ground observers with
their eyes on the skies. They're keeping America's defenses. Man

Speaker 3 (01:31):
This is as far as.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
We go, mis Soon. That's your line.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
The creak ahead you can want to use stuck there,
We'll wait for that and head back. Waw whoa.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Back there.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
We're stopping a spell.
Speaker 7 (02:01):
This the end of the line for us, Captain.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
That's what the order says, Sogen. Yes, sir, tell them
in the dismountain unsaddle pin grays and water.
Speaker 7 (02:09):
Take your mouth, captain.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Thanks. I want to talk to the driver.
Speaker 7 (02:16):
You've seen him then up on the rim.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Yeah, they're keeping their distance.
Speaker 8 (02:19):
Ain't every wagon train pushing west gets two escorts, cavalry.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
And the engines.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Of course, I'll tell him.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
This Mount dunsawn E Grave water, this maup non sat.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Mind your stock, don't take on water too fast.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
You're planning to stick to the Oregon Trail driver.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I'd be a plain fool if I didn't with their
engines stirring me down from the top of the canyon.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I don't think they'll bother him. They're not hungry. We
butchered some beef in the agency for him last week.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Fancy we'd look too good to him trying to Mangie
looking out for ain't we?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
I've seen worse. You're all right, so long as you
don't get any ideas about the old Bozeman trail.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Well, let's close now, ain't it.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah? By treaty. That's what's bothering our friends up there
in the rim.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
They think we aim to cut up to Montana country.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Some of the wagons try it.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Lots of gold up there, ain't the captain?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, And lots of soup and lots of a rapper hole.
It's all Indian country. Bozeman trails closed, forts and posts
are abandoned.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
I tell you the truth, Captain. I kind of had
my heart set and panning myself a fortune or two.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
You wouldn't get to the first turn in that trail.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
No, for wouldn't I know? It wouldn't well, had my
heart set and on plot of ground and Oregon too.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Sure you'll live longer.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
You were going up there to the rim. Captain, talk
to them engines, what for? Tell them to leave us be.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
That's reservation land thereon. They'll leave you be long as
you're set straight along the Oregon trail. They haven't bothered
a wagon train since the treaty.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Well, I can wait till I settle an Oregon. Then
maybe drop down to the Motherlode country. If I want
gold bad enough.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, if you want it bad enough, you.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
You don't have it? Do your captain? Have it?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
The itch?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
The fever that sits on a man makes them want
to find gold more than anything.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
That kind of fever can get you killed, mister, Yes.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Sir, I bet it can. Well, don't you worry yourself
about me, Captain, Me and this little wagon trainer is
staying right smack on the Oregon trail.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Good.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Oh, i'd watch my stock if I were you. There's
alkali in these streams.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
Do here.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Won't kill them, but too much you'll make them sick.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I'll keep an eye on them. Well, good luck to you, mister,
But thanks kindly, captain, for sure much obliged. You're rode
this far with us, all right, we'll watch you out
of side. I'd like that.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah, that's if you get a move on, you're wasting
daylight at this right, valuable stuff out here, mister.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Kind of like gold, captain, Yeah, kind of like gold.
Speaker 9 (05:31):
Indians made no move to follow the train.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Oh they left the rim of the canyon a little
before we did.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
You can't be sure they didn't ride on ahead intercept
the train when it was out of your sight.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
They weren't headed that way, But I can't be sure.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
I keep feeling like we're sitting on a powder keg lee,
slightest little jar blow up to a full scale war.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
It's got me edgy, You got company? You Red Cloud?
Why do you think those Indians were lining the rim
of that canyon?
Speaker 9 (06:04):
I guess they can't believe it either.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
It's not much of a peace, Captain if we spend
all our time watching them just to find out they're
watching back.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Oh, major beats killing each other.
Speaker 9 (06:18):
You like Red Cloud?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Don't you leave?
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I like him.
Speaker 9 (06:24):
Do you trust him?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
He signed the treaty, hasn't broken it yet, then you
do trust him. I don't think he'll be the one
to break the treaty if that's what you mean. You
think we will is?
Speaker 6 (06:37):
Eh? No, not we.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
But I saw something in that wagon train driver that
breaks treaties. He called it a itch, a fever fever
for gold.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
He told me.
Speaker 9 (06:52):
You warn him about going up the old Bozeman trail.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I warned him. I don't think he'll try it, but
if he doesn't, someone with a fever will. If not
the Bozeman, then they'll break new trails up into the
Big Horn Range, over into Black Hills.
Speaker 9 (07:05):
That's all Indian territory. We've both read the treaty, Major
and Red Clouds signed it, so did we?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
Now what do we have to do?
Speaker 9 (07:12):
Read it to every wagon train that stops at Fort Laramie.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
You ask me if I trusted Red Cloud. I trust
him till the next white man goes into Indian country
looking for gold. I suppose you're right. He got what
he wanted, Powder River Country, Black Hills for hunting grounds.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
That covers everything to the north and east of us,
and we better stay out of it. MM tell that
to the men with a gold fever.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I do when I see him.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
Lee, if you were sitting in my chair, what would
you do if you had to translate this problem to Washington?
I dessert, Now you wouldn't You'd have a plan what
would it be about white men going into Indian country.
We can't protect him.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
We'll have to try to keep him from going in.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
That's what I want to know.
Speaker 9 (08:02):
Can we stop them?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
We can try, maybe with official orders, we can keep
them from going in in numbers. If we catch them,
lock them up as treaty violated, and if they persist
for provoking an active war, I'd shoot them.
Speaker 9 (08:20):
I said, you'd have a plan, all right.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I'd start by redoubling our patrols all along the north Platte.
We don't have the manpower. Let the infantry secure the garrison.
I'll take a patrol out right now.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Ah, you just got back. You're tired.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I'm not tired.
Speaker 9 (08:35):
All right, the men are tired.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Got another plan? What's that? I need a drink?
Speaker 9 (08:43):
Why don't you go on over, Kevin? Maybe i'll join
you later.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Here's a major.
Speaker 10 (09:05):
Why, Lee, I didn't know you were back.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Got back last night?
Speaker 6 (09:10):
Willa you.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
You was a barmaid here.
Speaker 10 (09:14):
Now dad's waiting on some trade in the store. Here,
help yourself.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I say, I wanted a drink.
Speaker 10 (09:24):
If you'd come to see me, you'd have come last night.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
It was.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
It was late last night.
Speaker 10 (09:31):
That sounded a lot like an explanation.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Lee, I, I guess I thought you wanted one.
Speaker 10 (09:38):
When you see me. It's because you want to see me.
That's a good thing to know.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, maybe it is.
Speaker 10 (09:47):
Are you finished with this?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
It's the matter you running out of whiskey almost not planning.
He doesn't run out, not when he can still get
his price. What isn't that?
Speaker 10 (09:58):
It's those men with him?
Speaker 6 (10:00):
What about him?
Speaker 10 (10:01):
But they're not drinking here, they're taking with them.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Huh where they're going?
Speaker 6 (10:06):
I don't know wherever it is.
Speaker 10 (10:08):
They must expect to stay a long time. Isn't ten
gallons of whiskey and awful Lotly?
Speaker 3 (10:16):
A couple of drinks of this whiskey is an awful lot?
Speaker 6 (10:19):
See?
Speaker 11 (10:19):
Will you recollect that last ship with the boots we
got in? I thought we'd put them in stock. But
I cannot lay my hands home.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Aren't you going to speak to lead that he can't
see me? Willer for the dollar signs in his eyes?
Speaker 11 (10:31):
Oh well, good afternoon, captain. His glass is empty.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
Will you offering me a drink on the house? Pliny
on the house?
Speaker 11 (10:40):
Oh well, I just didn't naturally suppose you were buying
you a drinks, Captain, Dad. Of course credit is available
for an old friend like you. Captain, I trust you.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
That's your idea of a compliment, pliny.
Speaker 11 (10:53):
Oh boots, that was, wasn't it? Of course boots. I
can't back here to ask about the boots.
Speaker 10 (10:57):
I don't know how you could miss them. They're right
next to the cash box.
Speaker 11 (11:00):
Oh my goodness, yes, of course they must be there.
Then swiping you go read to hit captain, just buy
yourself another drink.
Speaker 10 (11:07):
I don't know what to do about him except love
him in spite of himself.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Well, you'll never be poor.
Speaker 10 (11:14):
William and Dowries are still in style.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Lee, maybe I ask for that.
Speaker 10 (11:23):
Are you going to have that other drink?
Speaker 12 (11:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Thanks, this one is on the host. Oh you don't
want to break his heart?
Speaker 7 (11:29):
You will?
Speaker 6 (11:31):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Well, I've had enough love, I'll see yeah, surely, sure.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
Yeah, I aim to spend a lot more, maybe with you,
soldier boy.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I got nothing to sell, mister.
Speaker 11 (12:12):
Well, you could might give him some information, couldn't you, captain.
He's such a good customer.
Speaker 6 (12:17):

Speaker 11 (12:20):
I have a no offense, though not slats a bit offense.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
Excuse me, that's better. You want to drink, soldier.

Speaker 6 (12:28):
You must know this country pretty good. I'm looking for horses, goodns.
You're no here news today.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Most of the settlers around here have horses.
Speaker 6 (12:41):
I said, good horses. I've seen the crow bait they
pass off for horses over in Laramie Village. I mean
goodnes strong, take a lot of riding. That's what I want.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
How many?
Speaker 11 (12:57):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:58):
For? Say?
Speaker 1 (13:00):

Speaker 3 (13:00):
The suitor ranch is about your best bet. It's a
good day's ride from here. Which way west? Due west?
You can see the ranch house from the Oregon Trail.
I ain't hidden west and south near Cheyenne. I ain't
heading south. I can't help you, mister.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
You're not trying too hard.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Ah, your soldier hard enough plenty. You'd better get your
cash customer out of my way.
Speaker 11 (13:29):
Please, gentlemen, no rough housing. This is a respectful place
of business.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
You know. I told you quit bobbing in here ever
so often.
Speaker 11 (13:38):
I only meant to help.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
You got any more shoving around you want.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
To do, mister, yeah, kind of forget my money's reckon?
You speak your piece better, you get paid for it.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
What are you trying to buy a crack skull?
Speaker 6 (14:06):
All right? All right, I picked the wrong soldier. What's
he so sore about?
Speaker 11 (14:16):
Well, he just misunderstood you. Now here, I'll help you
pick up.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
Your money, all right. If I sit next to your soldier,
help your falcon. You get used to the food and
(14:48):
the time. Do you eating free? Incher, it's free enough?
You look like a smart man, Soldier, I ain't. I
ain't here better.
Speaker 8 (15:01):
You've been talking with somebody dumber and me, then Pliny Sutler.
He put your next to the free meal here in
the barracks. That'd be Pliny, him and me. We're dumb
in different ways.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
He says. You know all this to know about horses.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
I've ridden them, eating a few.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
That's all I has to know about him.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
We're the best horses around here, soldier.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
Up in the cavalry stables, I'd like to lay my
hands on for goodness.
Speaker 7 (15:39):
Well, now you could try, but you might get yourself
shot and trying.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
I'm talking about buying horses, not stealing them.
Speaker 7 (15:49):
I don't think the cavalry's got any horses for sale.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Mister, are you trying to understand me? Soldier?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
I'm trying harder to eat.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
How much money you make a month? Where those three
stripes years?
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Now, that just plane took my appetite.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Regular soldier makes fifty cents a day. I figure those
stripes give you a bit more.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
You want to raise my pay?
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Is that it? I want four good horses, You get
them for me. I'll see you get better in a raise.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
You just passing through?
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Are you mystery? That's all? Don't worry about the money.
I got it.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
What are you figuring on using horses for riding? Four
horses for riding?
Speaker 6 (16:45):
There's two of us. It's hard riding. You won't get
the money just asking questions, Soldier.
Speaker 9 (16:55):
I guess i'd have to see that money.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
We're gonna do business, are we?
Speaker 7 (17:00):
You got a right price?
Speaker 6 (17:01):
We'll do business this place. You'd get the horses, and
they be near the fort, near enough branch.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
If I told you about it, you will need me.
I wouldn't collect that money you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
You're not dumb, soldier, You're not dumb. A bit. Look here,
Well you've seen the money now, that ain't all money, mister.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Some of them pouches they just don't bulge right for silver?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
You see real good? Don't you?
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Anybody tell you there's an assay office over in Laraman Village?
Speaker 6 (17:45):
They might not if I'd have asked.
Speaker 7 (17:48):
You want some advice?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Mister, I want some horses.
Speaker 7 (17:52):
You better not be finding Golden Engine country.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
There's a treaty now says.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
You can't go in there?
Speaker 6 (17:57):
Is that a fact?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Listen?
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Of course you got permission from the engine soldier. I
got ten gallons of whiskey. That's a lot of permission,
providing I wanted it. Now, then, man, I took your advice.
You're gonna take my money and.
Speaker 9 (18:16):
A lot sooner take you?
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Mister? You're going along with me? Or ain't you?
Speaker 9 (18:21):
I'm going with you all the way?
Speaker 8 (18:23):
What's the id you just got yourself from military escort,
mister clean through the main gate of Ford Larami.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Well, of course, how'd you keep from roughing them up.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
The same way you did?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
I guess.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Flying in.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Miss Willis said you went plumb white keeping from hurting him.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Yep, one of us should have busted him. You might
have stuck around to prefer a chargers, not this one.
Speaker 8 (19:02):
You didn't want any trouble, just horses. I fired my
way out of stuffed him in the stockade last night
instead of thrown him off the post.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
He just says, you can't hold a man for what
you think he's going to do.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
He told him about it.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Last night, after you told me that was gold in them.
Speaker 7 (19:21):
Pout as sure as anything.
Speaker 9 (19:23):
I didn't have to look inside.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, sure it was gold, and it was picks and
shovels and pans. He bought it the sutlers. I got
that much out of plany last night, you know, forgetting
the whiskey, and I'm not forgetting like he's not. He's
got the horses by now too. We can't stop him
from getting horses. Sergeant. We just don't have to help him.
(19:45):
You were You were smart to hear him out. I
should have been a little smarter.
Speaker 8 (19:51):
He'd stand to talk freer to me, saying I'd have
more need of money. I had to throw him out
for he worked his way any further down the wage scale.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I knew a trooper, once deserted, sold his mount saddled
everything up to his kirtcheer for one hundred dollars.
Speaker 8 (20:05):
It's the best part of a year's pay. You think
the Major stands still for us taking off after him?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Mister Seybertz brings his patrol in tomorrow night. We're not
going anywhere until he's back. It sounds like an order,
and Major Daggets can't prove anything going after him.
Speaker 7 (20:24):
Goes cavalry patrol.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Maybe it'd scare him awful A little oh man that
stupid doesn't scare. He'd rather be scalped than be poor.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
If he goes in, we can all get scalped trying
to save his lousy hide.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
Sure like a better excuse to fight.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
A war.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
We all would, Sergeant.
Speaker 12 (20:59):
Right about there, sir, they were following Rawhide Creek, moving north.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
How many men, mister Savage, two men, four horses, four mules.
Speaker 12 (21:11):
I couldn't tell enough through the glasses to describe what
they looked like.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
I know what one of them look like.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
We can't be sure of that, Captain, mister Seberts, you
say you fired a signal at them, Can you be
sure they heard it?
Speaker 7 (21:23):
They heard it, sir.
Speaker 12 (21:24):
I never took the glasses off them, and when we fired,
they stopped and looked at us. The whole patrol made
signs for them to come back.
Speaker 9 (21:32):
You think they saw you, understood your signs. I know
they saw us.
Speaker 12 (21:37):
One of them had field glasses too, Captain, train right
on us as they started moving north again.
Speaker 9 (21:44):
Is that all, Lieutenant? That completes your reports?
Speaker 12 (21:47):
That's all, sir, Except well, I wish I could have
stopped them from.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
Going in, sir.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Oh, you did all you could, mister Sabags.
Speaker 9 (21:56):
Thank you, captain every bit you could.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Lieutenant.
Speaker 9 (21:59):
I go on, get some rest. That's an order, yes, sir,
may you, sir?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Captain?
Speaker 9 (22:07):
Sir all right, captain, what would you have done in
his place?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Exactly as he did? Glad to hear that.
Speaker 9 (22:27):
But now you want to go after the prospectors.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I want permission to go to Red Cloud to keep
him from being killed, to keep a war from starting.
The man I saw knows as chances everybody warned him.
I got no feeling for him. I want to think
about it, Captain. While you're thinking a runner could be
on his way to Red Cloud, I'm aware of that.
(22:49):
And while you're thinking Red Cloud could be on his
way here in paint and war bonnets if he is
a runner, wouldn't stop him? He might, I'd say, that's
the chance we got to take, the only chance we
have got.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
If the runner gets through and Red Cloud agrees to
powow with you, what.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Then I'll ask him to let us find the prospectors
and deal with them our way, And if he's found
them first, I'll take their bodies off his hands.
Speaker 9 (23:23):
How many men do you want, Captain, Sergeant Gorse? Just
one man?
Speaker 3 (23:28):
I want to stop a war major, and not start one.
Red Cloud is not likely to consent to a full company.
Speaker 9 (23:36):
The runner will leave the post in an hour. When
can you and Sergeant Gorse leave?
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Tell your runner, we'll try hard not to get ahead
of them.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
That's Black Hill's country ahead.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Ain't a captain, eh? If you can see it over
the war bonnets.
Speaker 7 (24:01):
Red Cloud's not taking any chance, would you guys now, sir?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
I just keep hoping they're getting an eye full of
this white flag I'm toting.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
There in the hills. They got the best view. We
just keep riding me as far as the stream. We'll
drop our gun belts when we get there and wait
for Red Cloud.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
Yes, I guess if I'm gonna die in the cavalry.
I just soon do it with you as anybody.
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Captain.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
You could be back at Fort Laramie, getting rich selling
horses to prospectors.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
The air is cleaner out here, as long as it lasts.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
The gun belt goes.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
Oh, how could I forget a little madder like that?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
You spoke? Yeah, Red Cloud?
Speaker 6 (25:21):
All right?
Speaker 8 (25:23):
Two braves with him and a couple hundred in the hills,
and be a thousand as long as they stay up there.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
You honor our flag, Red Cloud. We thank you.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
Where is honoring white man for treaty boundaries?
Speaker 3 (25:51):
It comes slow to some white men. I came to
ask your patients, Red Cloud.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Patient stretchers in time like an old hided breach, And
he's no more.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Since we smoked the pipe. We've handed over your renegades
to let your people deal with them.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Bring white men here, you will deal with them how
they're alive. I did not come here to deliver dead men.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Then they'll be put in the stockade and kept there.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
You have been our friend. Tell your people, Red Cloud
will not power again. Next time, warriors not stay in hills.
Next time, white men dead white men.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
I'll tell them, Red Cloud. I hope they listen.
Speaker 2 (27:21):

Next week, another transcribed story of the Northwest Frontier and
the troopers who fought under Lee Quince Captain of Cavalry.
Time was a man who wanted to get away from
it all. Could hide in the cellar, take a walk
(28:45):
in the woods, or go live in a cave. Today's
best way is not to hide, walk off, or hunt
for a cave, but to join the ground observers with
their eyes on the skies. They're keeping America's defenses. Man
to serve the cause of peace. See your local civilian
defense people. Join the ground observers two hours a week
will earn your silver wings help America be strong as
(29:08):
a deterent to any possible intrusion.
