Providing you ain't burnt alive

or scalped.

l will do my best.

You can cut wood

and leave it up on the Judith.

Riverboat captains will leave you gold

if you put out a pouch.

Good thing to know...

...if times get hard.

Watch your topknot.

Watch yours.

l told you not to go play outside.

You got yourself all dirty...

...and also, young lady...

...without your shoes.

And you, Josh...

...dirty!

Look at you!

There, now!

Mary Lou, you knew better

than to go out in the sun....

Have l told you

not to go out...

...without a bonnet on your head?

You better stop there.

Woman, l am your friend.

We have graves to dig.

You were borne on the wind today.

Josh was being a bad boy.

l must tell your father.

Time to start the garden.

lf the wind would stop.

We will now sing.

Shall we gather at the river

Where bright angel feet have trod

With its crystal tide forever

Flowing by the throne of God

Yes, we'll gather at the river

The beautiful, the beautiful river

Gather with the saints at the river

That flows by the throne of God

Boy, did you see all this?

Better get one of these biscuits, boy.

l make damn good biscuits.

Here's food.

l could not find your husband

anywhere, madam.

So, maybe he will come back here.

The lndians will not bother you now,

on account of...

...you are touched.

They will be afraid.

What about the boy?

Maybe you and the boy

best come with me now.

l will take you down to the Judith.

Put you on a ferry.

Take him.

-What?

-Take him!

Madam, l wouldn't know how

to tend after....

You got a name, boy?

l will call you Caleb.

lt is a name l have always admired.

You like that? Caleb?

Do what you like.

l was much the same myself.

Damn!

Are you all right?

Sure, l got a fine horse under me!

Got one of them feathers in my nose.

Keep sneezing,

it'll come out all right.

Haven't seen anyone pass by recently,

have you?

Nobody's gone in front of me.

Can't say what's happened

behind me though.

The lnjuns put you here?

lt weren't Mormons.

A chief, name of Mad Wolf.

Nice fellow, don't talk a hell of a lot.

You wouldn't have

an extra hat on you, would you?

Shade's getting scarce in these parts.

What did you shave your head for?

Mad Wolf figures like

every other lnjun l know.

Says this scalp ain't fit

for no decent man's lodgepole.

Ain't the first time l protected

my head in such a way.

Name's Del Gue.

With an ''E.''

How long since they've been through?

Not more than a few hours ago.

l will be happy to see my horse.

l hate walking.

l knew you would help me

get my pelts back.

l wouldn't leave a man

without a horse or gun.

Ain't that Hatchet Jack's rifle?

How did you get it?
