Allegheny Uprising Page #3

---

For the fields of corn you planted.

For the plenty we've taken

and will take from this land.

l will water it with my blood

before l give it up.

-And l.

-And l.

Everybody accounted for?

All except Jacob Miller's two kids.

They must have taken them alive.

Mrs. Lewis, do you know

if Jacob Miller's kids got taken?

Mrs. Lewis?

l picked up the tracks.

About 20 of them. Delawares, l think.

l'm not sure,

but they seem to have

a couple of youngsters with them.

-Any missing?

-Yes.

l want about 10 men with me.

Stewart, Calhoon, M'Cammon, Professor.

You got plenty of charcoal over there,

M'Cammon?

Yes, and plenty of bear grease.

Now, we're traveling light,

so are the Delawares

but they'll be held back

because they're carrying the kids along.

Twenty of them. lt's just the odds l like.

l'll kill them myself

like l did them Onondagas in one day.

l wanna see your guns.

Trade musket. They're no good.

They misfire too often.

Sorry, M'Cammon,

we can't take you with us.

lf it misfires, Jim, l'll use my knife.

l'm only taking men

with long rifles, M'Cammon.

-Mac! Mac!

-Janie, lassie. What brought you here?

With lndians loose,

you might have been scalped

from your eyebrows

to your shoulder blades.

Here, l'll get somebody to take you back.

l'm not going back.

l've seen what the lndians did

and l'm going with you.

-l forbid it.

-What?

Positively.

You forbid it?

How much is this valley your home?

Did you see those bullet holes

in the walls of the tavern?

Who fought off the lndians? Not you.

You were always busy somewhere else

fighting somebody else's fight.

And now you're forbidding me

to fight my own.

-Get back to the tavern, girl.

-Let her come along.

Oh, Jim.

Jim, you're a fine and generous man.

All right, off with your shirts.

Smear your bodies.

We're lndians, you know.

Well, off with your shirt.

lf you travel with us

you travel like the rest of us.

How sly. How very sly.

We'll need your long rifle.

-Here's your weapon, M'Cammon.

-Thanks.

Some of you boys

see that Janie gets home.

They didn't come out here.

We'll have to split up, Jim.

Delawares. They've gone upstream.

Mac, you take the right bank,

l'll take the left.

l want him alive.

Jim, 20 lndians a day

has always been my minimum.

Don't leave me at 19.

l'll never be able to hold me head up again.

Come on, we'll get the water out of him.

Oh, darn, Jim, laddie.

They trade muskets and trade tomahawks.

-Everybody all right?

-All right.

All here.

Gather up the rifles and the powder horns.

English cartouche box.

What regiment is it, Tom?

Why, that's Colonel Brady's regiment.

He's supposed to be out on the Ohio

making treaties.
