MUSIC

Daniel?

Yep.

It's been a long walk.

What for?

Governor Askis to come.

And that's when why.

They're right going to be more than just knowing you

to put it in this letter.

Suppose you're right.

But then I never did like mysteries,

especially when they involved a 10-day walk.

MUSIC

Those are wheels out here.

We just might be in luck.

MUSIC

We are in luck.

MUSIC

Yeah.

Ha!

MUSIC

Wildman, he tried to run us down.

Driver?

Sorry, sir.

Two men tried to flag me down, scared the horses off the road.

Sorry, sir.

Now let's move on.

I'll be late for my appointment.

Yes, sir.

Back.

Back.

Back.

Oh.

You spooked my team and almost upset my carriage.

Look, I'm sorry, but I've now you stand away

before I take this whip to you.

No!

He's only a bit of a fellow, isn't he?

Do you want to scalp him then go, or shall I?

Don't lay a hand on my driver.

And don't tempt me, sir.

There's no penalty for killing a highwayman.

Driver, the governor's mansion, and hurry.

Did he think governor's got you?

It's the way I heard it.

And you

do what I do.

What a do, what a dream come true, what can you fool?

From the two skin caps, on the top of those dandelies

The heel of his forehead chews

The ripiness, glorious, fightin' this man, the runn' dear ever knew

Can you fool, was a man?

Yes, a big man, any part for an errant

Is to make common errant scream

What a do, what a do, what a dream come true, what's the...

I assume, Captain, that you know why you're here

All I know, Governor Henry, is that I've been put on detached duty

From General Washington's command to take part in some special mission

At my request?

Yes, sir, it's your request

And speaking as a professional soldier, sir

May I say that I resent being removed from an important battle area

To take part in some inconsequential frontier action

You are at liberty to say anything you wish, Captain

But you are here for only one reason

General Washington has recommended you as being an expert artillery officer

For my part, I resent your attitude

But I need a man of your abilities

Now if you permit me, I will explain why I've sent for you

Certainly, sir

As a professional soldier, you may be inclined to discount what I'm about to say as patriotic dribble

But I assure you

Are you questioning my patriotism, sir?

No, I am merely asking to be allowed to finish what I have to say

When the Declaration of Independence was published here

The citizens of Williamsburg wish to contribute something

To the cause

As you point out, Virginia is a frontier territory

Our resources are limited

But the people have given what they could, they've given metal, sir

All the metal they could

Iron skillets, iron statues, iron tools, copper

This precious metal has been melted down and cast into a weapon

The Williamsburg cannon

That's why you're here, Captain

Do you mean to say, sir, that I've been brought all the way from Long Island

To put my stamp of approval on our homemade cannon?

That's part of it

The part you can't understand, Captain, is that we have no artillery and our frontier perimeter defenses

And we are desperately in need of it

Artillery! You have one cannon, sir, now what do you hope to accomplish with that?

Captain, are you familiar with Cascascia and Fort Bincennes?

Of course, sir

The seat of British power in the West

Now, in spite of what you call inconsequential frontier action

These outlying settlements in Kentucky are vital to our national defense

The Indian raids on these settlements have been increasing

The various tribes involved are being armed and supplied by the British

Vincennes must be captured, Captain, and the British crushed

While Kentucky will be overrun

In our first line of defense destroyed

Most ambitious undertaking, sir

Major Clark, for the force of 180 men has already stormed Cascascia

And is now marching on Vincennes

It is quite possible that they are marching towards disaster

That's at least one point we're agreed on

Such an inadequate force, a no line of supply

He is unable to lay siege

Nor can he storm that fort without artillery

He needs a cannon, Captain

Williamsburg Cannon

Are you proposing to transport a field piece all the way across Kentucky?

Well, that's a thousand miles, Governor

And through a wilderness, too

I know that, Captain

I suppose you've sent for me to train a gunner for your expedition

Not to train a gunner

To be the gunner

With all due respect, Governor

I think your plan borders on insanity

That may be true

But I assure you it's also a necessity

And what if I refuse?

I'll see to it that your court marshaled and shot

Well, that might be the better choice of the two

I'm an army officer, not a wagoneer

I appreciate the hazards of the journey

And the difficulties you'll be asked to overcome

And since you're unfamiliar with the wilderness

I have engaged you to guide

Who knows Kentucky well

And has this guide approved your plan?

I don't know

I haven't seen him yet

We meet with him at ten o'clock tonight

And now

Would you care to join me in the spot of Brandy?

No, no, no, no

There are accidents

And you carried out my orders, Mr. Forbes

To the lover your ex-concede

House is closed

Mr. Boone is waiting inside for you

Very well

Who do you to come Daniel?

You may go

I must apologize for asking you to meet me here

If I wanted to keep this meeting secret

If that's possible

Allow me to present Captain Robert George of the Continental Army

You've already met?

You've met? You didn't tell me, Captain?

Well, it was hardly a formal introduction

I mistook Mr. Boone here for a common thief

Don't tell me this is the man you've engaged for a guide

That's right

Well, then I must ask to be allowed to pick my own

Your request is denied, Captain

Mr. Boone is the best woodsman in Kentucky

I will not lay my plans aside because of any personal dislikes

I don't know what this is all about, Governor

I can't say too much for the Captain's matters

I'm not sure I'd want a guide him from here to cross the street

Of course you're free to go, Daniel

However, I ask you as a personal favor

To at least hear me out

Well, we have walked ten days to get here

I think the least I can do is hear you on

What do you say, Mingle?

By all means?

Thank you

I'll try to be as brief as possible

Cannon

Yes, Cannon

I think you know this territory

I know the country, but the man who made this map didn't know it very well

That's why I'm depending on you, Daniel

Now, in your opinion, is this expedition possible?

No, I guess anything's possible, and on whether it's advisable

Time against us, fall rain's coming on

To say nothing of Indians

Or the British, I don't imagine they'll look with favor on a cannon being brought against them

I've considered that, Captain

That's why I made no mention of it in my opinion

I made no mention of it in my letter, Daniel

In case it should fall into the wrong hands

Transporting a cannon through the wilderness isn't the easiest thing to keep secret governor

That's true

But there's no reason for anyone outside the four of us to know its destination

It could well be consigned to any of our frontier outposts

Of course, our grants you may encounter isolated enemy patrols

Roving bands of Indians

But there's no large British force within the boundaries of Kentucky

At least not yet

If our mission fails

Then they will be an army of them soon

Well, Daniel

You put it that way, I can't very well refuse

I'll do the best I can

I'll go along with that

Captain

I still think the whole idea is insane

But then I have no choice in the matter, have I?

I'm afraid not

Then I'd like to ask one question

How large a military escort will we have?

I'll leave that to Mr. Boone since getting there is his responsibility

I don't warn these soldiers

The three of us are going to drag a cannon across a thousand miles of wilderness

Nope, but I want backwards

Kentucky ends preferably

If something happens to Mingo or me, at least they'll know the country

And I'm going to command a bunch of rabble, huh?

I wasn't aware that you were to command anything except the gun, Captain

If I undertake this trip, I'll do it with my own men and my own way

Your Excellency

I know, Captain, you've jacked

But I find Mr. Boone's point well taken, Daniel

Do you think you can recruit some volunteers?

Well, I won't guarantee that there'll be volunteers but I probably can raise some men

Well, I'll just leave that part of it up to you then

How much can I offer to pay?

The Virginia Assembly has agreed to a lot of $100 to anyone who'll undertake the trip

It's not much money to risk hanging or scalping

I have to agree with you

But the Assembly doesn't share my enthusiasm for the project

Nor do I think they realize its potential influence on the outcome of the war

But I take it it's all settled then

Well, there is one small point, Governor

Nobody knows yet whether your homemade cannon will even fire

Oh, that's your job, Captain

But that'll wait till tomorrow

Mr. Goodleaf

Well, there it is, the Williamsburg Cannon

What's your opinion of it, Captain?

I think it's a good idea

Eight pounder, huh?

I'd prefer a larger bore for the task assigned to me

But then we'd have to pull more weight

The design seems proper

However, there's just one way to test the quality of the metal

I made that cannon captain a trade I learned in England

You'll find the metal sound and the bore accurate

Then I assume you all saw know how to load it?

I sir, there's many around, I've loaded into one of these

Then let's get on with it

Do you want a light charge or a heavy one, sir?

I want a canister charge, make it a heavy one

If it blows up now, it'll save us all a long trip and a lot of trouble

Hey, sir

I'll take care of the priming

Hey, sir

I'll take care of the priming

I'll take care of the priming

That clump of trees just seems a likely target over yonder

Don't give me a hand

Soldier, get that powder out of here

Swing it right

I'll need a little elevation too

Hold it, that's about it

A little more right, right down

That's right, chuck the wheels

Just go over there

Alright, carry on captain

Why were you gentlemen, I'd move back

I have faith in my cannot

Alright captain, got your off

On Liberty, the Continental Congress

Not great

All right here

The muzzle seems sound.

The sign of a crack of flaw in the barrel.

Splendid work, Mr. Goodleaf.

Thank you, sir.

Hello, Governor.

I'm afraid your cannon is quite satisfactory.

Afraid, Captain?

Yes, sir.

Quite frankly, I was hoping you were blow sky high.

I'm not looking forward to this hair-brained expedition.

I'd already gotten that impression.

How soon would you plan to leave, Daniel?

Well, this is soon we can get the cannon loaded into the wagon and arrange for our supplies.

Well, I can take care of that yet today. What do you think you'll need?

We'll need staples and supplies for six men for at least a month.

Grain for the horses, extra harness.

If you call to good start rope, that ought to do it.

One more wagon should prove sufficient then.

May I make a suggestion, Governor?

Certainly.

Then I would advise pack horses rather than another wagon.

Ones that are broken to harness, so that in case of an emergency, we'd have an extra hitch.

It's a good idea, Mango.

I'll arrange for the horses.

How do you propose to carry powder and shut?

Your cannon's no good without proper ammunition.

That's already taken care of, Captain.

Major Clark has established a new mission.

Clark has established a supply depot on Corn Island with the Falls of the Ohio.

You'll pick up short and powder there.

Your load should be lightened sufficiently by then to compensate for any extra weight.

Then we should be half-weight of incense anyway.

Our only problem is one of personnel.

When will you find recruits?

If you'll meet me at midnight, Governor, I'll have your men for you.

Now, if you'll just tell me where the taverns are located in this town.

The taverns.

I said I wanted backwoodsmen.

There's only one place you'll find them when they're in town, and that's some place where they can get something to drink.

The Williamsburg Pike.

You'll find your taverns there.

Seems a peculiar place to look for patriots.

I didn't say they'd be patriotic, but they'll be tough.

And I got an idea some of them can use a little extra drinking money.

Daniel, these are troubled times.

Virginia has its share of British sympathizers.

Choose your men carefully.

I will go.

Well, now, Captain.

Since you seem to be the keeper of the cannon, I'll leave you and Mr. Goodleaf to see it loaded on the wagon properly.

You.

It's you, I'm talking to you, you thief.

I heard you.

Now, go away, I'm thinking.

Well, then, do your thinking somewhere else.

You've been taking up space at my table for an hour, and not bought so much as a pride of ale.

It's a public place, ain't it?

Not for non-paying customers, it ain't.

Now, being gone, before he threw you out.

I don't think you can do it.

Well, maybe not alone, but I'll have help.

Sim, take them over here.

Now, are you going peaceful, like, I was asking you to?

You don't see me moving, do you?

Throw them up.

Now, let me give you some advice.

Stay out of all the taverns in town until you get some money.

There you taverns, Daniel. Two of the list.

That's just about all we can cover at once.

Which one do you want?

I can't see there's much difference judging by the noise.

I'll take the one down the street.

Good hunting.

Daniel.

You want me to go with you?

No.

But there is one thing worrying me.

How does one tell a Tory from a loyalist?

Address the same?

Well, you might go in a bar and try a shout in three chairs for King George and Don with a Continental Congress.

Well, that's not too subtle.

And it might be downright dangerous.

It's just a suggestion.

I'll think of something.

Or do you do it your way and I'll do it mine.

You know where to meet me.

Just don't turn around, mister.

Don't get over here.

You're money mister.

And I need it real bad.

So don't try running.

Because I throw this knife real good.

Why don't you plan on running?

Now you'll be insensible.

You're going to go around a lot of people.

You ought to learn a little more about it.

Next time you might try a gun or you have to get yourself hurt.

Go ahead and cut my throat.

Don't matter much to me anyhow.

What are you going to do to me?

That depends on the answer, Zine.

What's your name?

Sam Lynn.

Wait a minute.

I know who you are.

What?

What, your Daniel Boone?

I seen you once in Kentucky.

I'm from Kentucky too.

Mr. Boone, I'm right ashamed of what I'd done.

I've never done anything like that before.

Must have needed money real bad.

What did you want it?

For her.

For her?

Shawn E. Gurl, I want to marry her, but I got a buyer.

You're aiming on robbing me to get money to buy yourself a wife?

That's right.

Well, how much do you need?

$50.

Sam, you've got nerve.

You fight pretty good.

What did you like a job?

Doing what?

Driving a wagon, honing some prey to take about a month of your time to pay you $100.

Would you mind repeating that?

Driving a wagon.

No, not that part.

The part about the money.

$100, $50 now, $50 when the job's finished.

Mr. Boone, I reckon you just hired yourself a hand.

Wonder we'll leave.

Well, just as soon as I hire another hand, come on, I'll buy you a drink.

In there?

Why not?

Wait, but I'll get my knife from my gun.

Mr. Boone, I'll tell you the truth, huh?

I just got thrown out of there.

Took three of them to do it, but, well, there's an outside chance I could get thrown out again.

What I got in mind is a real good chance I'll get thrown out with you.

Or do you want to wait here?

Well, if it took three of them to throw me out,

considering your size, it'll probably take four to throw you out.

Couldn't be more than a dozen or so in there.

All right.

Two Kentuckians, twelve of them?

It's a fair fight.

You wouldn't turn away a man.

We are thirsty. No place to rest his head.

I would.

And you can go wrap your head on somebody else's bar.

You haven't paid for the last drink yet.

Well, as evidence of my good faith, I'll just have to leave my claymore with you and tell them in funds again.

Leave you what?

Claymore.

Claymore.

The sword of my ancestors.

Then is the blow it struck for Bunny Prince Gerely in the hits of the halence.

And many of the time it's whirled or the battle cry of the clan Glen Fallon.

And since it's apparent that you have no appreciation for the custom of a gentleman,

I'll be on my way.

Give him the drink land, Lord.

I'll pay for it.

I'll a gentleman.

Indians.

One Indian.

I came along.

You know, British hireling paid to take the sculpt of honest men.

I'll have your head.

Come on.

Come on.

This is so helpful to me.

I know you're an Indian in my life.

There's no cause for long.

Poor me, my good friend.

Yes, sir.

Anything you say?

Now, if there's anything else I can do for you.

Who is he?

Alexander McAfee.

A remittance man.

Bored by the crown for some reason which I don't know.

But one thing I do know, he can be an awfully violent man.

Don't I know it?

Maybe exactly the kind of man I'm looking for.

So it's you again.

A gentleman, I come back when I had money in my pockets.

Well, I got a friend with money.

Yeah, that's right.

And we want two mugs of ale.

And we want two mugs of ale.

You ready, Sam?

Ready?

For what?

I'm not real sure, but you turned out to be real lively.

Three cheers for the King and Don with the continental Congress.

Careful with him, Sam.

I think we found him in theIT van in life that I founded.

It wasn't that for joy in many people.

Three cheers for the king and down with the Continental Congress.

Careful with him Sam, I think we found other men.

There can't be any fright in this place, I'll get rid of him.

Put some trauma out!

Oh no!

Put it in trauma out!

And stay out!

Well, shall we try it again?

Sam, I gotta say one thing for you, you sure persisted.

What do you want to go back in there for again?

Well, you offered to buy me a mug of ale, I ain't had a chance to drink a shot.

Still a set in there on the bar.

What do you think about that friend?

I think you and me still got a little argue with the settle.

If you give me a chance, I think I can explain.

You'll need no explanation.

Don't like the British, don't like you.

As soon as I get the win, I aim to prove it.

What would you have said if I had a set of three cheers for George Washington instead of the king?

I'd have been standing at the bar real peaceful like.

Well, that's just my question.

Well, it doesn't answer mine.

You got friendly feelings for General Washington.

What are you doing cheering for the British?

Well, he was looking for a patriot.

Well, now these ways of going about that, they ain't quite as violent, son.

Like asking questions.

Well, if you ask questions, sometimes you get lied to.

Eh, that's sort of logical.

But I still got to ask one.

What for you looking for a patriot?

Well, if you'll just come back inside the tavern while I finish up my drink,

I think Mr. Boone will be glad to explain that to you.

Boone? Not Dano Boone.

That's me.

Mr. Boone, I'm real glad to meet you.

Name is Moore. Ben Moore.

Sam Lynn.

The lady's a friend of yours.

Yeah, they seem to be getting closer all the time.

Well, I'm real glad to meet you.

Likewise. Now that we got that settled, can we go in and finish that ale?

When that Sam, they throwin' you out of there twice already.

Well, I got a feelin' about gettin' throat outta places.

So have I, but I'm not real sure we got the same feelin'.

What makes you think they won't throw you out again?

Well, it's last time I figure we've sorta workin' it cross-purposes.

Now that the three of us understand each other, I don't think they'll dare.

Now you're with me or again me.

Wait a minute. You caused me too much trouble to lose you now.

You got any feelings on this, Ben?

Oh, I got a side with Sam.

I got a drink in there, I ain't even touched yet.

Well, you made me spill mine.

I reckon I can get another one.

Thank you, fellas. Thank you for the take.

My lord, me and my friends would like a mug of ale.

Now, don't you figure you caused me enough trouble already.

Oh, what trouble you're reckonin' he's talkin' about?

Oh, you must mean that little misunderstanding down on me, head.

You know what trouble I mean. Now get out all three of you.

Mr. I think you've got the wrong impression all we want is a friendly little drink.

If you don't call off your dogs in that trouble you just mentioned.

Won't hold a candle to the trouble you're gonna get.

Or maybe you never heard of the answer.

I don't know what trouble you're gonna get.

Or maybe you never heard of the expression in union there's strength.

I let them stay.

As long as they don't start, no more fights.

Now, that's what I like.

Peace and quiet and a friendly atmosphere.

Thank you, Enki.

I'm still ain't tellin' me what I wanna hear.

What I need is a man who knows the wilderness and who doesn't mind the fight.

And I know the answer to the last.

I've trapped from here to the Mississippi of Ed and E helps you with the first.

I'll do for a start.

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna make you the same offer I made to Sam.

It's a hundred dollars for the job, half no, half when you're finished.

I'm listenin'.

Here's your ale.

As I was sayin', there's nothing like a friendly atmosphere.

It'd be a lot friend of the year somebody put some money on the table.

Money for what?

For the ale.

Mr. When I left you the last time, I had a full mug of ale just a setin' over there on that bar.

Now, if some dishonest person stole it, well, I sort of figured that that's your responsibility.

But I'm real happy to see the truth.

Now, let's say I mentioned that I had a mug too.

Happy days.

And I suppose you had a full mug too.

Nope.

As a matter of fact, I spill mine.

But just to show you there's no hard feelings, here's a little money to pay for the annual.

And whatever damage we may have done.

Do you think that's enough to pay for all the furniture you broke?

As I recall, we had quite a bit of help.

Why don't you go and collect it from there?

Now, as you were sayin' and I was listenin'...

I told you not to come here to lay close the place for the night.

Information I brought this time couldn't wait.

I'll be the judge of that.

And listen well in judge.

You see that big man with a red shirt and the leather jerkin' sittin' at that table over there?

See, some drunken trapper he started to fight in here like to tour up all the furniture.

A Kentuckian named Daniel Boone.

And he was a little bit of a fool.

Daniel Boone.

And here on business for the governor.

What's he doing in a place like this?

I can tell you that too.

Now is there some place we can't talk?

That'll be closed within an hour.

They couldn't I'd be sure nobody sees you, Mr. Goodlee.

Alright.

Well, that's a story, Ben.

What do you think?

Well, if I'd had another mug of ale, I'd see that you was drunk or I would.

I can't say that I'm blannin'.

I mean, I'll be real sensible, man.

Would like to have you come along.

You gone, Sam?

Well, I've been called a lot of things, but nobody ever called me sensible.

I'm sorry.

Well, I've been called a lot of things, but nobody ever called me sensible.

Come to think of it, nobody ever called me that other.

What's that mean you'll be joining us?

Miss Indians with British guns burned my farm.

Killed my wife.

Both of my youngs.

I owe them something.

Got no really good milk more.

No family dies.

I move you, Cannon.

Anywhere you want.

Now, much longer we will be waiting for this friend of yours.

Not much longer.

Maybe I'll start out looking for him and Ben Indian.

He may have got himself into trouble.

Did you say Indian?

Yeah.

You two wait here.

We'll all wait, boom.

What's wrong with you?

Told you.

Miss Indians burned me out.

So we'll all wait for that friend of yours.

When he gets here, I aim to kill him.

You let me explain.

No explaining needed when it comes to Indians.

I said we'd wait here.

If you won't listen, Ben,

Rick and you and I are going to have to lock horns again.

And I reckon so.

Now if you will, you'll just come in a little closer.

That's the way you want it.

Oh!

Rick and I'll just hang on to this until you can talk to him.

Thanks, sir.

You don't have to thank me.

It's just plain unreasonable when it comes to Indians.

Here I'm aiming to marry one.

Pay four or two.

Well, when he wakes up, we'll just explain together.

Maybe we can.

Sure did.

It ain't to break that jug, though.

Just a chance I might be able to replace it.

What are we going to do with him?

Just try to reason with him, I guess.

I hope we can.

They just begin in the like of pretty good, but...

Well, a man that's got to hate as big as his is.

Sometimes hard to talk to.

You're not fixing to quit on me, are you, sir?

Not an old cow bend.

Shucks no, Mr. Boone.

If I can't talk to him, I figure I can always whip him one way or another.

Well, when he wakes up, you do whatever he thinks necessary.

I can get another man, but I'm got time.

I'm going to go after my friend Mingle.

Is that that engine you talked about?

Yeah, that's him.

I heard of him, too.

So, look, you just go ahead and do what's got to be done.

I'll guarantee you the two of us is going to be here when you get back.

Sam, you've been a big help to me.

Sam, you've been a big help to me.

Boo, boo, boo.

Well, another man for us, Daniel.

Now, that's the biggest skin and knife I ever seen.

I thought you might recruit someone.

I didn't figure on you capturing him.

And who is it you think is the captive?

I merely granted my aborigine friend the temporary honor of being my personal sword bearer.

Max, the name.

Alexander McAfee.

I've heard about you, Mr. Boone.

And I'm here to offer my hand and my trusty claymore in the interest of freedom.

I'm glad to have you with us, Mr. McAfee.

This is Sam Len.

Pleasure.

Howdy.

Who's he?

Oh, that's Ben Moore.

He's another one of our volunteers.

Give me a hand with him.

We're supposed to meet the governor at midnight.

I'll entee you.

Oh, no.

You say they aimed a holocan to Major Clark and Fort Pinsense?

I heard them talking. There's no doubt about it.

Over all them mountains on any roads?

Can't be done.

Boone says it can.

How many men?

Captain Boone, his Indian friend, and three Kentuckians if he can find him.

He may have found a couple of them here tonight.

Now, you pay me my money and I'll leave and you'll hear no more from me.

I want enough to pay my passage back to England.

Which way are they going and when do they leave?

You show me the money and I'll even tell you that.

Well, that sounds fair enough.

Well...

There's a supply depot at the Falls of the Ohio.

They'll stop there for shot and powder.

When do they leave?

They meet tonight at midnight at Finley's Grove just off the turnpike.

Oh, you sure no one saw you come here tonight, Mr. Goodleaf.

You may be sure of that. I'd not take a chance on being hanged.

And now I'm glad this pines at an end.

I find I have no taste for it.

And no more value to us.

Tate, you know how to find that British raiding party hiding in the mountains west of here.

Major Ferguson?

I reckon I can find you.

It might take a little while.

It takes time to move a cannon to...

Coast saddle up a horse.

Mr. McAfee!

The nuts are well tied and tight, Mr. Boone.

The chalkings are sound. There's no reason she can't make the trip.

There are a lot of reasons I can thank them, but we won't go into that now.

How are you making out, Sam?

I'll hitch and ready to go, Mr. Boone. Any time you are.

And roll him out!

Oh!

Daniel, any further orders, Governor?

That ammunition you're going to pick up at the falls of the Ohio.

Take what you can and destroy the rest.

We don't want any of it to fall into the hands of the enemy.

Yes, sir.

And Daniel, remember, our troops at Vincennes may fail if you don't get them this cannon.

I'll remember.

Godspeed you that.

Brave men for liberty.

What is it, Major Parkinson?

Point, just a signal for us to hold up the column.

Major, how long do you intend to trap up and down this river?

We've been waiting for you for a long time.

I'm going to get you to the front.

I'm going to get you to the front.

I'm going to get you to the front.

I'm going to get you to the front.

I'm going to get you to the front.

How long do you intend to trap up and down this river?

We should be heading back to fight Major Stewart.

Mr. Fosse, we will continue marching towards the east.

I'm expecting a messenger from Williamsburg advising me of what is taking place

and we will continue to march until we meet him. Is that understood?

Yes.

What is it, man? Speak up.

An oss, Winster.

It could be that messenger you're expecting.

You see, Mr. Fosse, your lack of patience was unnecessary.

See that he's brought to me as soon as he arrives.

Yes, sir.

Your men have been clamoring for action, Mr. Fosse.

It would seem they may see it very shortly.

Yes, sir.

Bring the supply wagons forward.

Did you hear that, Mr. Fosse?

The Williamsburg Cannon here in the wilderness.

A capital prize and one that should prove invaluable against these frontier outposts.

How many men did you say are in the escort?

It was just six of them, sir.

It's even better than I'd hoped.

Only one of them's of soldiers kept in Georgia, the Continental Army.

The whole of the others?

Well, it's Dannell Boone, an engine they call Mingu.

The Scotsman, the McAfee.

Two Kentucky hunters have been mornin' a Sam Lynn.

Well, where do you think they would be about now?

Well, it's hard to say.

All I know is their five days out of Williamsburg and they're heading for the Falls of Ohio.

That's rather a roundabout way to get to Vincennes.

They're gonna pick up some shot in part of the left form somewhere in that area.

You mean they're not carrying any ammunition?

Not for the Kennedy.

Oh, I say let's push on and get them.

No.

Once they get on the river trail, they'll have to stay on it.

There's no way over the mountains until they get past the Falls of the Ohio.

If we can find that supply of powder before they get here, get the men ready to march.

Yes, sir.

If you want to contact me again, I'll be waiting for Boone at the Falls of the Ohio.

This is Fess Parker.

Please watch for the exciting conclusion on part two next week.
