men who rode the rim of Empire, and the dramatic story of Lee Quince,
Captain of Cavalry. Are you allright, Jessie, I'm all right
(01:56):
mate, you dagged. It's beena long walk up here. I want
to stand. Thank you, Jesse. Whenever you're ready. Whenever you're ready,
chaplain, speak your heart. Hewas my friend. Major Thaddeus Hale
(02:20):
was first of all a friend toall of us here. And we'll miss
our friend. Be loved as aman, respected as an officer. Fort
Laramie will be a different place withoutthat, but a better place for his
having served here, lived among usvigorously and fully for the past six years.
(02:44):
All of us assembled here at hisgrave can say of him, he
was my friend. All save oneJesse Hale can say of him he was
my love, my heart. Therehe lived, and there he will always
live. God comfort Jesse. Godgrants bad rest and peace and eternal love.
(03:10):
Ashes to ashes, dust to dustin the name of the Father and
the Son and the Holy Spirit.Amen. Amen, detail ready, aim
fire ready, aim fire ready,aim fire m m m m. Major's
(04:34):
flag man, Thank you, Sargant, thank you all of you. Missus
skin look at the day. It'sa beautiful day. I'm so glad it's
a beautiful day. I'm blasted.I'm here on the porch. Captain.
(05:35):
It's kind of chilly out tonight.Miss Hale, who it seems so close
inside? Sit down, won't you? Thanks? Miss Hale. Jesse,
I'm no hand to put words together. Well, I I can't speak a
(05:58):
piece about that. Don't try.There's no need. I liked him,
and I'm sorry. I know Iwatched out on the walk stopping starting.
He didn't want to come here tonight, and I don't blame you. Wasn't
the question I want just what cana man do? What can you say
(06:18):
to a widow? Except he's sorry. Sometimes I think it's harder on the
friends who are left. Like yousay, they want to do so much,
say the right things. There's nothingto do, nothing to say.
At least you didn't bake a pie. I sure never thought of that.
I want you to take some backto old bed Lama. I'll see the
(06:41):
rest get to the enlisted men tomorrow. Lee. This minute, in my
kitchen there are fifteen pies and threecakes. I guess women always going to
bake something at a time like this. Oh, it's just that people have
to do something and there's nothing todo. Can I talk about that if
you want to? Oh, Iwant to. I need to. Every
(07:04):
time I start, someone tries tostop me. I think it'll make me
sad to talk about him. Goodlord Lye Thad and I were happy.
It doesn't make me sad to talkabout happiness. You were happy. It
showed thirty years next month, loveand temper in the army, and there
(07:25):
wasn't a day of it. Wedidn't live. You were a lot alike
you and than we were just aliketoo much, maybe, but we suited
each other. When I bellowed,he bellowed back, good loud, time
of it we'd have and then we'dlaugh, then we'd love. I think
(07:47):
if I had it to do over, I wouldn't change a thing Lee,
not even the bellowing. If Thadwouldn't either, I'd been on that,
of course he wouldn't Lee. Itwas a dirty trick the way he died.
Yeah, lived through every battle fromGettysburg to that skirmish with the Arapahole
(08:09):
last month, cheated smallpox, scarletfever, scurvy and the infernal plains.
Weather thrived on all that, andhe had to die off duty when lumber
pilings fell on him. One goodthing he never knew it. He'd have
(08:31):
been as mad as the devil.If he had bellowed his head off.
Man, you'd have bellowed right back, You bet, I would any idea
what you're gonna do? Jesse livesure? If you're asking me, do
I have a place to go?I have? I have a sister back
(08:52):
in Camden alone. We can makea life together. It was my home
Camden a long time ago. It'llbe a different life and Camden trade my
pistol for needle point, my saddlefor a rocking chair. It would be
very differently. No rush about yourleaving. Oh no, thank heaven.
Mary Daggett in the Major Rover earliersaid to stay on as long as alike.
(09:16):
Glad, they said that, Lee, there's one great favor. You
can do me anything I can Jessetake the General Sad's mount. Sad was
your kind of army man, andthe generals your kind of horse. Oh
you siting right well yourself, butnot in Camden, Lee. Maybe sometimes,
(09:41):
some special time you'll ride him withSad and me. I'd be proud
to Jesse. Watch it, Lieutenant, he's mean this morning. Oh,
(10:07):
I can best I give your hand, Sir, don't come here. He
care for giving his head? Canyou better, Lieutenant, or you're gonna
get it? Oh, thanks forthe warning, sergeant. You hurt,
(10:28):
sir. He'll come later here.It's been a long time since they've been
unseated. Sergeant. They don't callhim the general for nothing. Might be
he knows he outranks you, Lieutenant. How Major Hale managed him, I
don't know his secret, but hegot his way all right. And now
look at that. The Captain's gothim mile as a kitten. That's Bill
(10:56):
and mister Savas. I don't thinkso captain happened pretty quick. Oh,
he hasn't been ridden for a week. Any new hand would have seemed strange
to him. Yes, sir,or you're gonna try. My thought I
would. The General and I gottaget used to each other. Is Hale
asked me to care for him.Oh, I'm sorry, sir. If
(11:18):
I had known that, I wouldn'thave tried to ride him. I just
thought that he should be ridden.Oh, if you're all right, there's
no harm done, because it's myturn to try. Like I told the
lieutenant, Captain, that horse ismean this morning. If it was me,
i'd set this one out. We'llsee gars you've got the touch,
(11:41):
all right, sir, Yeah,but look at them eyes. He's thinking.
He's thinking, for sure, Captain, that's how it's done. Such.
I just don't trust that horse.Captain knows what he's doing. He
always knows what he's doing. Iwas him, I'd rather know what that
horse was thinking. He's got aplan, Lieutenant. The General's got hisself
(12:03):
a plan. I'm just not thehorseman at Captain Quint says, I wouldn't
feel too bad about taking that spell. I wish it hadn't happened. In
front of the captain. That sothe god Captain stick with him, sir
Shore most boars. I swear,captain, if you don't take care,
you're gonna get the Oh come on, sorry again? Why I took your
(12:31):
advice scores? How's that, sir? I set this one out? Are
you all right? Sir? Olderand wiser Lieutenant, I got pardon he's
a gift horse and I looked himsquare in the mouth. Whoa, yes,
sir, good morning. Oh Iforgot to tell you one little thing
(12:58):
about the general, Just one littlething, Jesse. Never try to mount
him in the corral. I guesswe can remember that. I wouldn't just
say, Lieutenant, it's a lessonI'll never forget, ma'am. Go fetch
the general, Sergeant. See he'srubbed, fed and stable. Yes,
oh, not just yet, sergeant. Just lead him out of corral,
(13:20):
tether him there. I I feellike riding this morning, captain alone alone.
I think both the General and Ineed work. Whatever you say,
man, well, if you'll excuseme, missus hale, Captain, I've
got some staff dude at the tendto lieutenant. See you later, Missus
Sammonds. You making out, Jessemaking out day to timely. Yeah,
(13:50):
I keep discovering things, just littlethings every day that help the cemetery up
there. I found out there's nothingof fad there. I can look,
I can go there. Nothing weshared is buried there. Nothing you've shared
is buried anywhere, Jesse. It'sa wonderful thing to learn. No gotta
(14:15):
good morning to ride ye, crispand clean's. Good morning, Jesse,
Jesse, wait made you dag it? Morning? Major? Good morning,
Jesse. I went over to yourquarters. Someone had seen you coming this
way during your own courier duty.Major. I'm impressed. I wanted to
(14:37):
be the one who told you I'llleave you to your talk Tonnoli. Jesse,
you'll need your help. Hell,I wouldn't have had this happen for
the world. I had no ideawe're in line for any transfers. But
Jesse need my quarters, don't you. Major. I'm afraid we do well.
My that isn't the end of theworld. I didn't expect to stay
(14:58):
on indefinitely. How much time canI have, Hella, they're here now,
Jesse. I see you can managemakeshift arrangements for a while, can't
you. Major, Mary and Ihope you'd come up with us. Jesse,
stay as long as you Thank you, But no, Major, it's
best this way. Really, it'sit's time I started my new life.
(15:20):
I'd rather almost anything in this.You know that, Major, it's the
army. I understand. I willneed your help, Toli, you have
it. Well go on, Jessetake your ride. Well, go on,
that's an order, Jesse. Youand the general need the work,
like you said, Thanks Lee,Major, Some days I hate the Army.
(15:50):
Don't let Jesse hear you say thatshe's a thirty years soldier, Thank
(16:18):
heaven. I never was a handto collect much. I learned that moving
from post to post, Dad andI could clear out of a place in
two hours notice anytime, and didtoo. Oh you should have seen us
when we arrived here from Fort Carney. Two rucksacks, two saddles, and
a pair of silver candlesticks, onlywedding present we had left. What about
all this furniture yours? Isn't itwas built right here by Thad Striker and
(16:42):
a couple of other enlisted men.Don't you want any of it? Jess?
It belongs here. Well, I'dfeel better knowing it was Hereley,
Sure, I'll take these bags out. I'll have the others ready right away.
Don't hurry see any more than youfeel it, And don't you look
(17:02):
so grim, Captain. I meanit. There's a time to goalie,
a right time, and when itcomes, it should happen quickly. Yeah,
that's best. Oh, I waslooking for Missus Hale or some name
like her. Her name's Missus Hale. She's right inside. Hello. Oh,
(17:32):
I was under the impression you'd beout of here by now. Oh,
I won't belong You're a Captain Winton'swife, Jennifer Winton. But all
of this quaint furniture. I dohope it's yours, because I certainly wouldn't
want to hit belongs here. Itwas made here at Fort Laramie. I
can believe that. I mean it. It looks so well homemade and all.
(17:57):
If you don't want it, MissusWinton and have Captain Winton take it
up with the adjutant. Furniture ishard to come buy out here. Someone
can use it. Oh, nowyou're thinking I'm rude, and I don't
mean to be. You See,we have our own furniture. It's it's
new and quite lovely. I'm sorry, What are you sorry about? It
(18:21):
was just such a shock seeing allof this furniture. I'm afraid I've not
been quite tactful. You've been quiterude. As a matter of fact,
you're very young and spoiled, andI suspect a little foolish. I beg
your pardon. You needn't this isyour first army post, Missus Winton.
(18:42):
Maybe it is, my dear,You have a very great deal to learn.
I'm sure I have, but Iintend to learn it in my own
kind of surroundings, with your ownnew, quite lovely furniture. I intend
to make a home here for myhusband, the kind of home we're both
used to, just because he sentout to this desolate corner of nowhere.
(19:04):
I don't intend we should live likethe rest of the savages. Well,
I wish you well, Missus Winton. Thank you, Missus Hale. By
the way, where was your home, Missus Winton? Philadelphia? Oh that's
(19:26):
just across the river from Camden,isn't it if you want to put it
that way. Yes, I thinkI do want to put it just that
way. So I didn't go tookyour bags over to the stage. You've
(20:03):
still got a few minutes, Jesse. She can't be over twenty, not
a day over twenty. Who can'tbe a day over twenty? But you
saw her. She came just asyou were taking my bags out. Oh
that one, missus Winton. Shelook over twenty to you. I'm a
better judge your horses, Jess,Philadelphia girl. I wonder if I acted
(20:26):
like that when I was her age. Camden's just crossed the river, you
know, I remember standing so straight, like she was balancing a tea cup
on her head, ramrod straight.Of course, in Camden it was books,
books. What was books on yourhead? Jesse? Good heavensly,
(20:47):
don't be so dense. We weretaught to walk that way and sit that
way with books on your head,keep you straight and balance. Of course,
mostly it'd gave you a stiff neck, and I must say it gave
you a formidable bar lee. Thatgirl's scared to death. Why couldn't I
see that, Miss Winton? Andwhy wouldn't she be twenty years in one
(21:12):
protected group and then she marries andcomes out here? Why she isn't prepared
for this life? How could shebe? Nobody much is prepared for this
life. That's exactly what I mean, And they're not going to be as
long as complacent old fools like medon't have anything better to say to them
than my dear, you have avery great deal to learn, Lee.
Is that cottage out of the roothousestill empty? I think so, Jesse,
(21:34):
Well, sir, you can movemy old furniture in their right away.
I'm going to speak to Major Daggett. You're not going back to camp
and be a civilian, not whenthere's so much army work to do,
Captain. And if I've learned anythingin thirty years, the army has taught
me. It's time I started payingback a little and missus Winton's a good
(21:55):
place to begin that in order,Jesse, that's a captain move out.
(22:22):

all this furniture yours? Isn't itwas built right here by Thad Striker and
(16:42):
a couple of other enlisted men.Don't you want any of it? Jess?
It belongs here. Well, I'dfeel better knowing it was Hereley,
Sure, I'll take these bags out. I'll have the others ready right away.
Don't hurry see any more than youfeel it, And don't you look
(17:02):
so grim, Captain. I meanit. There's a time to goalie,
a right time, and when itcomes, it should happen quickly. Yeah,
that's best. Oh, I waslooking for Missus Hale or some name
like her. Her name's Missus Hale. She's right inside. Hello. Oh,
(17:32):
I was under the impression you'd beout of here by now. Oh,
I won't belong You're a Captain Winton'swife, Jennifer Winton. But all
of this quaint furniture. I dohope it's yours, because I certainly wouldn't
want to hit belongs here. Itwas made here at Fort Laramie. I
can believe that. I mean it. It looks so well homemade and all.
(17:57):
If you don't want it, MissusWinton and have Captain Winton take it
up with the adjutant. Furniture ishard to come buy out here. Someone
can use it. Oh, nowyou're thinking I'm rude, and I don't
mean to be. You See,we have our own furniture. It's it's
new and quite lovely. I'm sorry, What are you sorry about? It
(18:21):
was just such a shock seeing allof this furniture. I'm afraid I've not
been quite tactful. You've been quiterude. As a matter of fact,
you're very young and spoiled, andI suspect a little foolish. I beg
your pardon. You needn't this isyour first army post, Missus Winton.
(18:42):
Maybe it is, my dear,You have a very great deal to learn.
I'm sure I have, but Iintend to learn it in my own
kind of surroundings, with your ownnew, quite lovely furniture. I intend
to make a home here for myhusband, the kind of home we're both
used to, just because he sentout to this desolate corner of nowhere.
(19:04):
I don't intend we should live likethe rest of the savages. Well,
I wish you well, Missus Winton. Thank you, Missus Hale. By
the way, where was your home, Missus Winton? Philadelphia? Oh that's
(19:26):
just across the river from Camden,isn't it if you want to put it
that way. Yes, I thinkI do want to put it just that
way. So I didn't go tookyour bags over to the stage. You've
(20:03):
still got a few minutes, Jesse. She can't be over twenty, not
a day over twenty. Who can'tbe a day over twenty? But you
saw her. She came just asyou were taking my bags out. Oh
that one, missus Winton. Shelook over twenty to you. I'm a
better judge your horses, Jess,Philadelphia girl. I wonder if I acted
(20:26):
like that when I was her age. Camden's just crossed the river, you
know, I remember standing so straight, like she was balancing a tea cup
on her head, ramrod straight.Of course, in Camden it was books,
books. What was books on yourhead? Jesse? Good heavensly,
(20:47):
don't be so dense. We weretaught to walk that way and sit that
way with books on your head,keep you straight and balance. Of course,
mostly it'd gave you a stiff neck, and I must say it gave
you a formidable bar lee. Thatgirl's scared to death. Why couldn't I
see that, Miss Winton? Andwhy wouldn't she be twenty years in one
(21:12):
protected group and then she marries andcomes out here? Why she isn't prepared
for this life? How could shebe? Nobody much is prepared for this
life. That's exactly what I mean, And they're not going to be as
long as complacent old fools like medon't have anything better to say to them
than my dear, you have avery great deal to learn, Lee.
Is that cottage out of the roothousestill empty? I think so, Jesse,
(21:34):
Well, sir, you can movemy old furniture in their right away.
I'm going to speak to Major Daggett. You're not going back to camp
and be a civilian, not whenthere's so much army work to do,
Captain. And if I've learned anythingin thirty years, the army has taught
me. It's time I started payingback a little and missus Winton's a good
(21:55):
place to begin that in order,Jesse, that's a captain move out.
