[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

in that vast expanse of rich country

west of the mississippi to the pacific

the american indian rules supreme

that is until the coming of the white

man

they came in wagons all their worldly

possessions

these people

the pioneers of our gold and west

time and distance were so great as they

plotted on to their destination that

often with the dawn came the cry of new

life

as each day near the end

there were many tired and toil worn feet

the circle camp was set up for the

coming night in hope of rest and

protection from the dangers that lurked

in this new land

so far from the homes they had left

behind

all this happened before the eyes of the

red man

the american indians saw a new people

entering the land he had known as his

own

some were friendly

some were hostile

and some moved on

another morning

each day brought new hardships and toil

a burden that would have crushed weaker

spirits

but for some there was no mourning

their journey ended before their

destination was reached

all who ventured west encountered the

hazards of sickness violence hunger and

thirst

only the stronger with saddened hearts

moved on

others perished

leaving no history of their passing

the only evidence of their faith is what

the buzzards left

as the west developed the cavalry often

came to the rescue of the distressed

restoring peace where there was neither

law nor ordered

soldiers and scouts such as daniel boone

lewis and park pike crockett fremont jed

carson custer

these men made the journey of our

pioneers less hazardous

the trailblazers of the west were these

pioneers that helped make our country

what it is

missionaries years and scouts

men and women who dreamed of a better

world in which to live

the scouts protected the migration of

livestock where it was most needed

a friend both to the white man and

indian

one of the foremost scouts was william

cody

better known as buffalo bill

that government bill

i'm telling you for the last time the

first chance i get i'm through

i'm through i'll tell you

there's your chance cactus

oh now bill don't be too hasty

besides i don't think that wagon drains

going in my direction direction in no

direction you still make a good nurse

made to a calf yeah

well bill i didn't mind fighting engines

with you i didn't mind crossing the

great divide but when it comes to being

a nursemaid to a durham orphan camp i'm

going to draw the line maybe you look

like the motherly type

hey you forgot to burp it oh dear

look

indians

they're going to attack the wagon train

let's get to our horses

[Music]

wow

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

watch yourself bill

what is it

females nothing but females

this must be a marion plane

[Music]

so

[Music]

that's pretty good shooting for a female

ma'am

there ain't no doubt about you critter

as big as you couldn't be a woman

oh you think i am too big no

what do you want skin and bone

nothing but a skinny man

what a man

that woman is a woman

maria is our cook she's been with us for

years and is a better shot than most of

us i can understand maria wearing a

dress but this is the first time i've

ever seen soldiers and skirts

my name is bill cody buffalo bell well

this is a pleasure i'm lieutenant brian

in charge of the poster fort randall

i guess you're wondering about a little

masquerade the settlers hear about look

to us for protection

there have been four wagon train attacks

in the past two weeks

we thought we'd give those sue something

that looked like easy pickings

you cannot the sue signed a peace treaty

with us

i was there when white cloud and the

other chiefs agreed to the truth yes i

know but you can see how they keep their

treaty

i don't know

there's something strange about this

attack what do you mean

look out there

notice anything

no dead or wounded indians

all my years an indian fighter i've

never seen redskins pick up their

wounded and dead

neither have i

sir we're ready to move fine

we'd be proud to have you accompany us

to fort random thanks lieutenant but we

haven't heard of cattle to deliver a

white cloud in his tribe cattle for

white cloud

you see the treaty calls for the

government to deliver these cattle to

the indians that means trouble oh what

do you mean you'll have to drive them

through fort random

folks there feel that the zoo should be

run out of this country not fed till i

receive orders to the contrary white cob

get these cattle i'll see you in town

lieutenant

cactus come on

okay that was a trap down there i

thought you know what you were doing i

had it straight on the other wagon

trains do you think if i knew they were

dressed up like women i stick my neck

out you're supposed to know that's why

i'm paying you who are those men that

wrote in to help the wagons i recognized

one of them

buffalo bill

he's bringing in a treaty cattle if he

ever gets into white cloud we'll never

get the indians off the land you want me

and the boys to stop him

i've got a better idea where's running

deer he left with the other indians

right after the attack the good citizens

won't like the idea of cattle being

given to indians who are massacring

wagon trains

as soon as you men finish dressing get

into town and spread the news

um

[Music]

i guess lieutenant was right

let's ride in and see what it's all

about

you folks are going to have to move

aside

i've got to hurt a cattle coming through

you're mistaken mr buffalo bill you're

not going to deliver any cattle to those

bloodthirsty indians

go back and tell the boys to stop the

herds

i'm sorry to disagree with you ma'am but

it's my job to see that our treaty with

white cloud is fulfilled well then why

doesn't white cloud live up to it his

indians have been attacking white men

only last week my father was wounded and

barely got away with his life there's no

proof there were white clouds of braves

her father's wounds are proof enough

anybody can tell they were sue

i've never seen sue fight the way they

did today

it's just not indian style

now please clear the way

those cattle have to go through you'll

have to go through these first

[Music]

i thought you were tough get in there

[Music]

what's up

[Music]

hey

did you more tell you they polite to

point

[Music]

[Music]

hold it blake

all right everybody disperse go about

your business

you forget blake this town is under

martial law

martial law all you and your fancy blue

legs have done is ride around and look

pretty

that varying detail for corporal small

this morning didn't look so pretty

further bloodshed won't solve any

problems we'll reach a peaceful decision

all right lieutenant we know you've got

a job to do but if your method fails

we'll try ours

i know you've got your orders bill but

there's no denying the fact that you

trust these redskins a lot more than i

do i know them a lot better than you do

that's true but i can't sit idly by

while attacks happen every day before

you take any action lieutenant

let me go and see white cloud

if i find the sue really is causing this

trouble

i'm with you all the way

all right that's fair enough but the

cattle stay here until you prove that

the sewer innocent

all right

we'll bed the cattle down outside of

town you give them back my stomach get

out of here

what's going on here

him take my yellow stone i want him back

you got that stone i threw away a long

time ago

hey cactus let me have your harmonica

come on

thin feathers how would you like this

hey that's my harmonica bill

nino life what'd you expect to come out

yankee doodle say bill you and cactus

can get cleaned up with the post thanks

lieutenant

janice

i have nothing further to say to you as

long as you're in that uniform

i can't understand you when we first

became engaged you were proud of my

uniform

that was before i learned the full

meanings of the words army wife

i don't want to sit home each time you

go out and patrol and wonder whether or

not you're coming back alive but i'm a

soldier it's my job father offered you a

job as wagon master last month

but you had to rejoin the cavalry

just exactly like corporal smalls

did you see his widow this morning

i did

i had to break the news to her

can't you just picture somebody breaking

the news to me

about you

goodbye

if lieutenant bill net partner has get

the white cloud they may learn that

yellowstone is gold i don't see how even

the sioux don't know that there's gold

on their land they don't know now but if

that tree's fulfilled sooner or later

somebody's gonna find out

i think we better talk to running dear

you contact him and meet me at the

hideout

yeah

two birds with one stone

and not yellow either

if buffalo bill and cactus are ambushed

for red skins it proves to the people

here in town that the only good indians

are dead indians

sure good grub i'll saddle the horses

while you finish eating cactus i'll help

you bill

you eat them heat plateful grub well to

tell you the truth and why i sell them

eats very much i never could stand my

own cooking but when i run on the videos

like this i just can't stop

you know if i ever met a gal that could

cook like this i'd marry her in a minute

i go get him but wait a minute you mean

to say the gal that cooked this food

ain't married yet no but you want him

husband oh she does

well son is she pretty pretty you know

just a little young to settle down

hey bill what are we waiting for don't

[Music]

[Applause]

you probably won't stop running till he

reaches ogallala springs

good luck bill

maria

him come back you catch me at my stomach

oh see

here they come

we were to meet again at the sign of the

full moon why do you send for running

deer today this couldn't wait all right

speak

there's a herd of treaty cattle outside

of fort randall there to be given to

your people if white cloud can prove

that the sioux haven't been attacking

wagon trains who goes to white cloud for

this proof

buffalo bill

i know him

the white man who brought the promised

paper to the sioux

and if you don't reach white cloud with

that paper it'll be worthless

head to

[Music]

say bill how about sending up some smoke

signals to fight cloud just sort of let

him know we're coming

you know i'm not anxious for these

trigger happy indians to see us and

figure we're sneaking up on them all

right cactus it'll make you feel better

well the way i figure it is it's sort of

polite to knock before entering

especially when you don't know how

you're going to be received you better

get some pressure

all right

[Music]

[Music]

put the play around

[Music]

i sure hope all them braves know how to

read this smoke talk

there it is

white cloud welcomes us and knows we're

coming now bill are you sure that's what

they said

that's what they said cactus well i

ain't had no learning but when the smoke

all clears away and maybe your scalp

with it ain't gonna be no right and left

to prove that they said welcome

so

[Music]

i knew it i knew it all the time you and

your smoke signals bill

i thought that first puff was a little

shaky

you know good bunch of thieving palm

cats blake was right you can't trust the

varmus bill

oh

suero all right

there aren't too many

just a few

hey bill you better count again i want

to think i could have gotten married and

settled down well so long bill it's been

good to know you don't understand it

white cloud has never broken his word

before come on

fight club

that's funny looks like our welcome team

is leaving us bill

why cloud himself

bring back the faceless

the scalp feels a lot better

looks like you'll have plenty of time to

settle down now cactus yeah it sure does

what me settle down

greetings white cloud

white cloud greets his brothers

your smoke talk welcomed us

yet we are attacked by sioux

the ones who attacked you have lost face

with us

return to the teepee of the zoo in peace

my brothers

lean on

[Music]

smoke of peace is sweet white cloud

yet the indians have been attacking

white man's wagon trains white cloud

gives words

he's brave not paint faces

since he placed mark on promised paper

where cattle

the people at fort reynold do not know

white cloud

they have asked me to get proof that it

were not the sewer

white men at fort randall fear a shadow

the three before you and others like

them broke my word

you take them to your people they have

broken white clouds word

let them face white clouds justice in

the teepees of your fathers

there will be wailing for the dead

tonight

white cloud beats the drums of death too

soon

every su brave has the right to speak

before the mantle of death covers you

speak so all may hear

i am not a coyote who cries when he is

trapped i will not speak with my hands

bound

give them their hands

why do my people turn their face from me

i am not their enemy

there is the enemy

his people have driven the buffalo way

and now he comes with white man's cattle

to soften the belly of the sioux and

take away the strength of our hearts

the world of the buffalo is gone

we have fought the white man long enough

the war path is not our answer

we are not squirrels

this is the land of the sioux

our fathers and their fathers fathers

fought for it long before the white man

came

it is better that we die on the war path

than sit here like squaws begging for

food

we are not beggars

the white man came to us with promised

papers and asked for peace

he who eats of the white man's meat

becomes his dog

as long as breath runs in my body i

shall fight those white men

if there are other braves among you who

wish to fight with me

i welcome you

if there are none

i'll fight alone

your days of fighting are finished

running dear

you have broken my word and you must die

running deer is a warrior it is not

fitting that he be put to death

i ask that he be permitted to live

i will not owe my life to a white

i know your code running dear

fight for your life

[Music]

[Music]

right

i will not owe my life to a white man

you are a brave warrior running dear

i will not take your life

strike

take

beat the drums of death

why do you inflict the wound of mourning

on your software cloud

running dear my son is dead

um

[Music]

so

so the great peacemaker's back scalping

off keep quiet stokey

we've been waiting for you to get back

do you see why clown yes i'm absolutely

certain he had no hand in attacking the

wagon trains that's interesting have you

got any proof well the fact that we're

here speaks for itself

then he had no trouble seeing white

clouds

lull it all

the sewer living up to their end of the

treaty

with ours

the indian who shot that arrow is dead

condemned by his own tribe for violating

the treaty

was running deer

white cloud's own sun

peace at last

justice

he is bitter because his people go

hungry

from beyond those hills i am bringing

six wagons filled with buffalo meat

once you said you were bringing cattle

we never see them evil white men

stampeded the cattle because they wanted

the sue driven from their land all white

men are enemies no white cloud

only those who have learned there is

much gold on your land

we never see it

the sun has gone down twice since the

zoo caught a white man and punished him

with a dragging death

that is so

i took this from his body

the sioux does not scar the us for gold

the white man blake wants this gold

his men dresses sued to attack the

wagons

i have seen the tracks of one who

watched us

if they attack

and stop us from bringing you the

buffalo meat

no man will trust white cloud

the great white father will send an army

of blue shirts to drive the sioux from

his land forever

if this is so

why isn't this man punished a white man

law protects him until we can prove his

evil

white man's law is nothing to the sue

give us blake

i'm sure blake and his men will attack

the wagons white cloud and his braves

can move like shadows

we need but few

your skin's still white

your wagon may be jaws of a trap

lower drum of death

quotations
