You say they aimed a hollock can into major park at Fort Binsense.

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?

An army captain Boone, his Indian friend, and three Kentuckians if he can find them.

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.

Ah, 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 the spines at an end.

I find I have no taste for it.

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 him.

It might take a little while.

It takes time to move a cannon too.

Go saddle up a horse.

And you do.

What a do, what a dream come and do.

What can you do?

From the two skin caps on the top of old dandelier hill of his forehead shoe.

The rip and his glorious pikeness man.

The front of the river news.

Daniel Boone was a man.

Yes, very he can.

Daniel Boone was a man.

Yes, very he can.

And he fought for America to make all Americans free.

What a boom, what a do, what a dream come and do, what's the...

What is it, Major Ferguson?

Point just signaled for us to hold up the column.

Major, 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 ossman, sir.

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.

All the others?

Well, it's Dattlebone, an engine they call Mingu.

The Scotsman, the McAfee.

Two Kentucky hunters have been born to Sam Lynn.

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

Well, it's hard to say.

All I know is there are 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 Pottle's left form somewhere in that area.

You mean they're not carrying any ammunition?

Not for the Kennanine.

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.

MUSIC

It's an erring sundown, Boone.

I suggest we stop here for the night.

We still got some daylight left.

Men and horses are exhausted.

What are you trying to do? Kill them all?

I haven't heard any of them complaining.

I figured they'd all go another 40 miles.

You couldn't be too tired riding on this horse.

I'm a captain in the Army, Boone.

And as such, I've been taught that an officer's first consideration is for the welfare of his men.

Then I don't suppose you could understand that.

There's one thing I do understand, Captain.

I've got a cannon to deliver.

Nobody's going to die before dark, and there's good water and good grass up ahead so move out.

So far so good, Daniel.

We've made better time than I'd expected.

Some heroin in there go and get's a little rougher.

We'll make it.

If we don't run into the British, and it don't start raining.

Leave me help?

No. I'd give me about a half a buck of the grain.

Good boy.

Soup's on.

You know you're a hot meal. Why do you can't?

It made me the last one you get.

What do you mean by that, Mr. Boone? The supply's getting low?

We've got plenty of supplies, but we're getting close to Shawnee Country.

After that, there'll be no more fires.

You expect these men to keep up the pace you've been forcing them to on a diet of dried meat and parched corn?

They can't keep up. They can find their own way back to Williamsburg.

And you'd leave an exhausted man to fend for himself here in his wilderness.

That's the way it has to be. We'll make out short-handed.

You've never seen a man yet. I can't keep up with. You don't hear me hollering for help?

I'll walk where you, Mr. Boone. I'll run with you.

Is that behooses? I may drop in my tracks, but I'll not quite get to it.

Thanks, Mac. How about you, Sam?

I thought I aimed you, Mr. Boone. I'd have done it long before this.

Now, if anybody's tired of walking, let them drive the team for a while. I don't mind walking.

Is that offer to turn back a blind of me?

Captain, I reckon you're the one exception.

According to the governor, you and the cannon go together.

And I aim to see you both delivered to Fort Vincennes.

Now, we'll take turns standing guard.

Sam, when you've finished eating, you'll take the first turn.

Ben will relieve you, and then go, then, Mac.

I'll stand the last turn before daylight.

What about the captain there?

He pulled a tour of Sentry duties as we started.

I'll be perfectly honest with you, Ben. I don't trust him.

Are you questioning my integrity?

I'm not questioning anything.

You've had no liking for this trip from the beginning.

That's right. I don't have to like it.

And I also don't have to take that kind of talk from you.

To tell you the truth, I've had about all I can take from you.

So keep away from me.

Boone?

Oh, Captain, Daniel's point is well taken.

All right, Tiz, you had no enthusiasm for this venture from the first.

All right, Sam.

As soon as you finish, get out there to those horses and start your guard.

The rest of you turn in will be starting out when the sun comes up.

Well, Captain, you didn't ask to make this trip.

It didn't either to die.

We don't see eye to eye on many things,

but since you're taking up all of the stuff,

you're telling me nothing about it.

It'd be good if you got a good feeling to make this trip.

I've had no time for you.

Well, Captain, you didn't ask to make this trip.

You didn't need it to die.

We don't see eye-to-eye on many things.

But since we're traveling together,

we can't afford to fight among ourselves.

Let's call it truce.

Am I to take that as an apology?

Take it any way you like.

Mr. Boone.

I'll accept your truce for the time being.

But when this expedition is over, if it ever is,

and if we all survive, which I strongly doubt,

I'm going to demand satisfaction from you.

It's fair enough.

What did you say to him, Daniel?

I agreed to a ceasefire that trips over.

Looks like I'll have to fight a deal later on.

I'm going to keep an eye on him in the meantime.

That will be necessary.

We did try to pick a fight with you.

I hope it'll all blow over.

You better finish him.

He'll get some sleep.

You're going to need it.

No, you don't.

Sam.

Sam.

You asleep?

I'm going to play games with me.

What the hell?

Sorry, you covered.

I did one week the whole camp. You better come with me.

What's wrong?

Sam's gone.

That's what I said.

He's gone.

Can't find hide in her hair.

He took the captain's horse.

Double, Daniel?

I don't know. Wake up, McAfee.

Don't need your wig and may have a late sleep.

Better wear your movements.

What's the trouble, Mr. Boot?

Sam's gone.

The captain's horse is gone too.

The nins?

I don't know.

They would run off the rest of the horses.

I woke up and came out here to take his watch and he's gone.

I figured he'd just plain cut and run.

So one of your loyal recruits has deserted,

ain't Mr. Boone?

One who said only last night he wouldn't quit.

Well, I may have missed Judge Sam.

It's not your fault, Daniel.

How could you possibly know a man in such short acquaintance?

Well, I'll admit I'm dissaporting at him,

but there's not much I can do about it now.

Why aren't you going after him?

Look, four.

To punish him.

It's a matter of discipline.

If he's allowed to go on punish, what's to keep the others from deserting?

Only themselves, I reckon.

Then with your permission, Mr. Boone, if you won't go after him,

I'll go myself.

I'll catch up with you later.

Captain, you'll just be wasting your time.

I assure you more.

I can read sign as well as anybody.

That ain't what I meant.

Then just what did you mean?

I meant you might have trouble catching him a foot.

That's right, Captain.

Yours was the only saddle horse, and we can't spare any of the rest.

You don't suppose this horse pulled away from the picket line and Sam went after?

No, no.

This is right here.

That feedback had to be taken off by somebody.

Desserted? Horse thief?

And probably a British spy.

I'll be daylight, son.

Let's pack up and get out of here in case some of this is true.

Laila?

Laila?

What?

Well, I could have killed you.

I... I can't look for you.

Well, that's what I was doing.

I was looking for you.

You know what I got?

Right here in this pouch.

The $50 that your father wanted.

Do you know what that means?

Well, that means that you belong to me now.

You don't need the money anymore.

I've been paid for already.

Paid for?

Bahu?

The British?

They bought me and other women from the village to cook and work for them.

Where are the others?

One of us.

Daniel Boone and Ben Moore?

I can't remember all their names. Where are they?

They're up the trail of ways.

Don't wait a minute. How do you know about them?

The British know. A messenger came from Williamsburg.

They know about your plans.

They planned ambush you at the Falls of the Ohio.

So they know the red codes.

I've got to go and warn my friends.

There's no discomfort. There's a lot of pride in the horse.

But you can take my word for it.

It's an improvement on walking.

Magepy, what is your personal opinion on this fellow Boone?

Oh, ask me.

It seemed to be an educated man. He was very curious.

You want to talk to the Indian?

Understand, he went to Oxford?

Forget I asked.

No, I'll not forget it.

I'll give you my opinion since you brought a subject up.

Mr. Boone may not be an educated man by your standards.

But he's a lot more intelligent than you or I.

He's what's meant by a gentle man.

This woman I wouldn't have cared to cross.

He's a man to follow.

I'm not a man to follow.

He's a man to follow because he'll lead you well.

That's my opinion.

Hope it satisfies your curiosity.

Get on there now.

We passed a mouth of the Kentucky two days ago.

So my best guess places those just about here.

One more day.

The mouth of the Ohio by tomorrow was luck.

Well, four visits have been sent us.

Going northwest is just about as far as we've come from the mouth of Kentucky.

That was made it.

We haven't made a chat.

Although we've come a little farther than some might have thought.

Good luck to camel.

Let's turn in.

We're going to go.

We're going to go.

We're going to go.

We're going to go.

We're going to go.

We're going to go.

We're going to go.

We're going to go.

We're going to go.

We're going to go.

We're going to go.

We're going to go.

Who is it?

I don't know.

I don't know how many.

But I heard a horse, Nickering.

I reckon our luck is run out this time.

And the shooter starts.

Watch the horses so they don't run off.

Right?

Mr. Boone.

Mr. Boone.

Mr. Boone.

Mr. Boone.

Mr. Boone.

Mr. Boone.

Mac.

Ben.

That's Sam Boone.

What do you reckon ever brought him back?

No.

He's got to run into Indians.

The Gulf of Protection.

Or he's got the British to us.

And he's got a girl with you.

But does that make sense?

It makes sense.

At least a sign that makes sense.

What do you know about that, Daniel?

Reckoning it's up to him to do his own explainer.

Is there just a two of you?

Yeah, just a two of us, me and the girl.

It's a good thing I heard that horse, Nickering.

Otherwise, I would have missed you completely.

Although I had your figure to be going straight down stream.

I was a little bit nervous.

I was a little nervous.

I was a little nervous.

I was a little nervous.

I was a little nervous.

Although I had your figure to be going straight down stream.

Get down off the horse, Sam.

Well, ain't you glad to see me back?

Hey, baby.

Hey, baby.

Hey, baby.

Nope, I reckon you ain't.

Get out, girl.

Whoop.

All right, I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking I ran out on you.

You did, didn't you, Sam?

Not the way you think.

One other way, is there?

This is Malilla, Mr. Boone.

I told you about her.

This is the only chance I had to go and fetch her.

She's Shawnee, and with Shawnee killed Mike in.

Put that knife away, Ben.

You aim to hurt this girl, you're going to have to kill me first.

Oh, I just might do that, too, boy.

Ben, the lad's right.

You'll not harm any girl as long as I'm stunned and near Shawnee or otherwise.

You're turning against me in favor of a squab!

McAfee's right.

You're turning against me, too.

Nobody's turned against you.

Put that knife away, there'll be no killing.

Well, if there's to be no killing, Mr. Boone,

how do you intend punishing a traitor and a horse thief?

Get out of camp, Sam, and take the girl with you.

But Mr. Boone...

Get out of camp!

She's after bringing a whole tribe down on us,

and right now we don't even need trouble with the Indians.

All right.

We'll go.

Here's your $50 back.

She didn't cost me nothing.

She came to meet me.

Well, this time, would you kindly leave my horse here?

I find I miss him.

I don't need your horse, Captain.

I don't need none of you.

Before I leave, I want to tell you something.

The British know that you're coming,

and they know where you're going.

They're waiting for you at the falls of the Ohio.

Sam.

How do you know about this?

Alila told me, Mr. Boone.

Part of her tribe has been marching with the British.

When she heard my name, she came to warn me.

Come you men to the British have.

I just focus on that as a $50 man.

Reckon we're going to have to vote on this.

Sam and the girl stay, or do they go?

Mango?

I say they stay.

Mac?

Stay!

Captain, I'm surprised I even get a vote.

Captain, you're still a member of this party.

It's not a majority vote.

We all agree they go or they stay.

What's your decision?

You're in a hurry, Mr. Boone.

Having the girl along will slow you up.

Truth of the matter, she probably cannot travel any of us.

It's no worry.

At least he did bring my horse back.

That shows some degree of honesty.

As far as I'm concerned, they stay.

Guess it's up to you, Ben.

What a man lives with eight long enough.

It gets to be a habit.

If what she says is true,

it seems we all owe her something.

I won't cause no more trouble.

I'm sorry that my people have wronged you.

If it will help right the wrong,

use the knife.

That is good.

Now we will be friends.

I reckon we're all agreed.

Let's get those horses hitched up and pack our gear.

Let's move out.

You don't mean you're going to try and make this trip at night.

We've moved a lot further and a lot faster than I thought we could.

There's a good chance we can still beat them at the faults.

What if we don't?

I don't bar a trouble, Captain.

We've got enough of it as it is.

It's just waiting to see what happens.

All right, let's keep removing.

Let's go.

They beat us to the cross and after all.

The Indian girls said there were 50 men down there.

There are.

They've got a trap down there.

They're just hoping to make us come to them.

With six men?

We'll go to see if we can make them come to us.

Let's get the canvas off of this little jutey so our friends can see her.

Mike?

Mike?

Everybody make a little contribution of powder gear.

Let's go.

Then, Hemmiel, go to that trace check.

What do you hope to gain with this foolish gesture?

Time, Captain. Time.

If any of them try to come up this hill, a lot of them won't make it to the top.

Looks like they're going to make a fight of it.

You don't suppose that mess can get a bit of a rock about to not have an ammunition?

I'm not going to make a fight of it.

I'm not going to make a fight of it.

I'm not going to make a fight of it.

I'm not going to make a fight of it.

I'm not going to make a fight of it.

I'm not going to have an ammunition.

I think it's a bluff, Mr. Force.

But there's no need to take unnecessary risks.

You'll find a white shirt hanging in my quarters. Please get it for me.

White shirt?

A flag of truth.

I think I'll have a conference with Mr. Boone.

Yes, sir.

A flag of truth.

What do you suppose you hope to gain by that?

I don't know.

It's just one way to find out.

It's a trap, Boone. You can't just walk into it.

I don't have to trap us, Captain.

We know we're outnumbered.

I don't know.

I don't know.

There's no way to find out.

It's a trap, Boone. You can't just walk into it.

If you're not going to be a trap, Captain, we know we're outnumbered.

Mr. Boone, I'd like to have a talk with you.

You can't go down there, man.

Now, kill your, take your captain.

Then go, you can't miss from here.

Just stand out of the way, Daniel.

I aim to.

What kind of man is that that walked down there unarmed?

Captain, when you understand what kind of a man he is,

you may want to call off that duel.

Mr. Boone, allow me to introduce myself.

Major Ferguson, his majesty's royal fusilliers,

you got 50 men down there.

You seem to know as much about me as I know about you.

May I ask when you got your information?

I didn't ask you where you got yours.

That white shirt you've been waving around.

I take it you didn't walk all the way up this hill just to surrender.

Mr. Boone, I like you.

It's too bad we couldn't have met under more pleasant circumstances.

Come to the point, Major. What is it you want?

To make a bargain.

I'll listen to it.

I want your cannon.

What have you got to offer in return?

Your life and the lives of the men you have with you,

I see no need for unnecessary killing.

I'll have to talk to him.

You're a determined bunch.

I'll give you an hour.

I'll be suned down soon.

I'll give you an answer by dawn.

I do not think you are in the position to dictate terms, Mr. Boone.

Well, now that's where we disagree, Major.

You see that cannon up there?

It's rather useless without shot or powder, isn't it?

But you can't be sure that we don't have powder and shot.

Now you just said you don't want any unnecessary killing.

So you give me little dawn.

Because if you try to come up that hill and take it,

I guarantee you, Major, somebody's going to get hurt.

I will give you your time, Boone.

But as for anybody getting hurt, I don't know.

You see, the powder that you expected to pick up at the pass

of the falls of the Ohio is safely in my hands.

Until dawn.

Well, what did he want?

Captured our powder.

If we'll give up our cannon, we can all go free.

We've gotten to dawn to make up our minds.

Well, what did he want?

Captured our powder.

If we'll give up our cannon, we can all go free.

We've gotten to dawn to make up our minds.

I'll give you a chance to get out of the way.

I'll give you a chance to get out of the way.

We've gotten to dawn to make up our minds.

Mr. Boone, they find Malilla here in the Anabata let her go.

They'll shoot her as a spy.

I know that, Sam.

Well.

What would you do, Captain?

Well, a good soldier.

Morliss have to sacrifice one life to save six others, but like...

No, you just simmer down, son.

Anybody gonna hurt that girl?

She's a friend of mine.

You got any other ideas, Captain?

Yes, Mr. Boone, I have.

We let the girl go.

I'm sure she can find her way back to her village.

Lynn here can join her later. She can take my horse.

What about the cannon?

Well, we're not powder.

Our mission's a failure anyway.

Yeah.

If bad goes to worse, we can always blow it up.

I'm no expert in these matters, but...

I've had a fouling piece blow up in my hand when the muzzle was plugged.

We mud.

I don't see it make any difference with a cannon.

But if we blow the cannon up, it ain't gonna be much help to...

Major Clark at Fort Van Sens.

Well, that's true.

If I come this far...

I ain't gonna give up now.

Not without a fight.

Daniel, if I voted to surrender, I'd be in the minority.

What did you have in mind?

I don't know about the rest of you, but I didn't come this far to leave that powder in British hands.

You'll never try it.

And, go...

just my work.

work.

What are you talking about?

I want you to wake up Ben and Sam and McAfee and get him started cutting logs.

I need enough to build two stone boats.

I've got to get a wrench.

Would you mind telling me what you have in mind?

Or is that asking you too much?

I aim to take that cannon apart and haul it into Vincen's piece by piece.

I don't say we'll all get that where we're going, but if that major wants a cannon.

It may take him a while to find all the parts.

Good job Sam.

Come on.

Sam, you know how to get to Ben's sentence.

Yes sir.

Ben, you know how to get there too.

Don't stay too close together.

If that bridge is major wants this cannon to take him a while to find all the parts.

Cross the river when you're in the clear and we'll try to meet downstream tomorrow.

Mr. Rigg doesn't look much like a cannon up real close.

Mr. Rigg doesn't look much like a cannon up real close.

Better night and moving fast.

It might get served with purpose.

You can drive this rig right through the British camp.

Who calls little diversionary action?

Yes, chances are it'll get me killed.

Well I'll admit there's a real good chance you're going to be shot.

I want to thank you for those words of encouragement.

You drive on down to point and wait for me, Mingo.

I don't want our friends to miss having a chance to get a real good look at this little beauty.

Mr. Boone, you've outlined what everyone else is to do except you and I.

Captain you and I are going down that British camp and get that powder.

Now you've got a real good jump on them.

But if the British are any of their hired hands start pressing you dump that gun and run.

But make sure you dump it where the water's deep.

We'll do after dump. Mr. Boone, we've been together so long now I've developed quite a fun this for.

Good luck, Sam.

That's all the luck I need Mr. Boone, just a set right there on that cannon.

We'll see you Mr. Boone.

Have a good trip, man.

Name two, then.

Now when you get through that British camp, I appreciate you saying when instead of if.

Well you're going to have a lot of people on your tail, but when they get close cut that outfit loose.

Cross the river, head down straight.

But be sure and bring the horses, we're going to need them to tow that ammunition.

I'll bring the horses. Good luck, Daniel.

I'm not real sure who needs the luck most, you or me.

Give us five minutes.

Okay.

Mr. Boone.

I want you to know one thing.

For the first time since we started this mission, I have the feeling you just might succeed.

Thanks, Captain.

But never knows what he can do to lead tries.

I'm just beginning to appreciate that.

You wouldn't be apologizing to me, would you?

I might.

If you'll accept it, we still have a long road to go together.

I see no reason why we shouldn't travel to this friends.

Sometimes it makes the going easier.

You have to make it go to time to go.

It's the cannon, Mr. Fosse. The cannon!

You men come with me!

Hey!

I'm going to go to the

train.

I'm going to go to the

train.

I'm going to go to the

train.

I'm going to go to the

train.

Take care of the guards back at the shack.

Help! Help me!

Captain, let's get this powder in the brush and hide it.

Come on, climb through.

Come on, climb through.

Did you overtake that cannon, Mr. Fosse?

Oh, yes, we overtook the cannon, Major.

The crazy engine dumped in the river sank in the mud.

Well, at least we've got their powder.

Let's get it loaded back on that wagon and move the company out.

Our time is just about on out.

At least we've saved half of it.

You go ahead, I'm going to blow the rest.

Have a great night!

Oh

Oh

Well, there's your cannon, Captain. I'll put back together just about as good as new. Thanks to you. I'd say thanks to everybody here.

Now what you've got to do is get it to Vincennes. Don't worry about that. We'll get it there.

Me and going back to the ammunition. Most likely we'll catch up with you. Good luck.

Good luck. Thanks. Good luck to you.

All right. Hello.

Oh

Oh

Oh
