Handful of hunters caught
buffalo and deer
Back when the west was young
At the last frontier
Snake bites, Indian fights
plagued the pioneer
The pioneer
We're all at the last frontier
The last frontier
Back when the law was
the law of the open spaces
The folks out there were fair and square
They paid every debt
by the sweat of their honest faces
Snow, heat, little meat
famine almost near
hiding every tear
Stout hearts played their parts
in that bygone year
Back there at the last frontier
The last frontier
Did you ever see so many smiling faces?
I wonder what's bothering them?
Ask them, Mungo.
Let them talk first.
I'm getting hungry. Let's make camp here.
I guess this is as good a place as any.
- You got any salt, Jed?
- I ate the last speck day before yesterday.
Mungo?
I sure miss a sprinkle of salt on me meat.
Right now I'd give a whole silver dollar...
for just enough to sting
the edge of me tongue.
You're a mighty free spender
with silver dollars you ain't got, Gus?
I'm a big spender, I am.
You just wait till we trade in these skins...
and I'll show you how fast
I can shed my share.
What you gonna do
with your share, Mungo?
Whiskey.
Dollars?
Right now that appeals to me.
Don't get up, just keep eating.
He wants our rifles.
Give them to him.
He wants more.
- Not one more thing.
- Shut up, Jed.
- Give him the horses.
- Not the horses, Gus.
There's a year's work tied up in those packs.
A year of freezing, starving, and slaving.
I know. I've got more than a year's work
tied up in me...
and I've no mind to lose it
for some tired horses and a pack of furs.
Give them the horses, Mungo.
Red Cloud says we're no longer welcome.
We're not to shoot, fish,
or set traps in the forest anymore.
We must go back beyond the river.
- If we return, we die.
- Why?
We ain't never done him any harm.
There's plenty here for all of us.
- It's the bluecoats.
- Soldiers.
- When did they come?
- In the spring.
- They chop down many trees. Build fort.
- Where?
Paha Saba.
Red Cloud says they all die
before snow falls...
and so will any white man
who sets foot in these woods.
We never fished
nor killed any more than we could eat.
And we're no bluecoats.
Why is he taking it out on us?
- Civilization.
- Civilization?
Civilization is creeping up on us, lads.
The bluecoats ain't satisfied...
with gobbling up all the land
east of Mississippi.
They won't stop till they've pushed us over
the Rockies and into the Pacific Ocean.
It's a drowning fate awaits us all.
These are calamitous times
we're living in, Jed.
Calamitous times.
They ain't pushing me
off the face of this earth.
I'm going down to that fort...
and collect every single thing
that Red Cloud took from us.
Are you?
Me big bull buffalo.
like these before, Jed.
You don't know them like I do.
They talk with forked tongues.
Once you set foot inside that fort...
they'll snare you.
And how'll they snare me?
They got wondrous ways. No.
We'll go north to Canada.
We'll get a stake from the Bay Company.
Then we'll strike out for fresh country.
You can go north, Gus.
But them bluecoats owe us for them skins
and I'm collecting it.
- If you want to wait for me here, you wait.
- No, I'd better go with you.
- Somebody's got to do the thinking.
- All right.
You do the thinking,
but I'm doing the talking.
Halt!
Halt, or I'll fire!
See, what did I tell you.
Right away they want to shoot us.
- We go to Canada.
- Not until we get paid.
It's all right, sentry. They're unarmed.
