"Nothing much besides bottles." "Someone should take it back to Baxter Springs." "Ross!" "Next time it'll be your face." "The other wagon was here first." "A single horse, probably Farraday's, took after the wagon." "How long ago?" "Can you tell?" "No, but I can follow it." "It's called a Gatling gun." "Tell your men it fires 250 bullets a minute, fast as rain from the sky." "I have told them." "Now let the gun say that you have earned the price." "Tell them to hang on to their war bonnets." "Watch those!" "Look." "One of your own rifle bullets." "It fits this gun." "This gun is worth ten tribes." "They'll all fear Yellow Hawk." "Unless they too get such guns." "They can't." "Only four exist - this is the only one in the West." "We march against Fort Smith." "Good hunting." "Six more bag of gold - 4,000 gold dollar - if you march with us." "It's not my war, not for just 4, 000." "Inside Fort Smith there is much more It is yours if you shoot the gun." "How do you know what's inside?" "My scouts have seen it." "With the fort's ammunition and this gun, many tribes will join us." "Even with a gun, you need more men." "We have friends in other villages" " Yogalan, Taminiconju, Hiosake." "They will come when we call." "If I join you, it's for one attack only." "I agree." "And an escort out the territory when it's over." "I agree." "It's a deal." "When do we march?" "Sunrise." "Smoke signal over the ridge, sir." "Go to sleep now." "No more crying." "We'll fight the war once we get out of here." "Where's Manning?" "Gone." "This morning, with the gun." "They're going to attack Fort Smith." "Come on, come on." "Just a minute." "That way to Fort Smith." "We're not going there." "I'll drop you off home, then I'm going home myself." "But we have to warn them." "I'm not concerned about Fort Smith." "But you're concerned about the gun, and Brett Manning." "I'll catch up with him some time." "That's one thing I'm sure of." "You won't consider a truce-talk?" "Not when you'd let the men at the fort die." "Nothing I can do." "You can warn them." "Where I come from, saving Yankees isn't very noble." "Can't you think of them just as people?" "I could, but it wouldn't be easy." "The same people burned my home and killed my brother." "And, you know, if I made that noble gesture you keep harping on they'd shoot me for a spy." "I guess you're right." "In a war, you have to take sides." "And four years of war are more than enough to learn how to hate good and hard." "You said that, remember?" "There aren't really many differences between us."

"If we hurry, we may make it." "Thomas, alert the Lawrence garrison." "The fort'll need help." "You should send Miss Curtis back with them so she won't see the bloodshed." "It'll be like Atlanta when you brave Yankee soldiers burnt us out!" "The fort isn't all Yankee soldiers." "Their families are with them." "They've got some kind of rapid-fire gun." "I've heard about such a gun." "It will wipe us out." "We can't locate it." "We need to send out a patrol." "Send out 12 men." " Yes, sir." "Go up the tower." "Report all activity to me." "Yes, sir." "The fort is just over that rise." "That's the Gatling gun." "Mr Kelso, give me Mr Farraday's gun." "Keep your men out of sight." "Fort can't last much longer." "I need one man with me." "We have to knock out that gun." "I'm ready when you are." "We'll use knives if we reach Manning." "If we stop him, we stop the gun." "He's probably the only one who can operate it." "He may not be the only one." "What about your leg?" "Any of the men will take your place..." "I'll be OK." "We'll go up on opposite flanks." "The rocks protect the gun." "Deploy the men behind that ridge." "No noise - we only have one chance." "Yes, sir." "Take cover." "More of them." "Colonel, more smoke signals!" "Two new tribes have joined Yellow Hawk." "Maybe 1,000, maybe more." "Colonel Stagg!" "Signals from Major Dawson." "He's on Ridge Hill." " Signal him to await orders." "Yes, sir." "No, you can't shoot." "No noise, those were the orders." "Signal Major Dawson to attack!" "I guess I can deliver it to the arsenal in Indianapolis now." "Where are you from, Mr...?" "James Simmons, Georgia Volunteers." "That train robbery was a nice job - good timing." "Sergeant, let's move this gun inside the fort." "Mr Kelso, I hope you'll take into consideration what Jim did..." "I... never liked being judge orjury, Miss Curtis." "Richmond and Petersburg have fallen." "Lee's army is in full retreat." "It's a matter of days now." "What happens to you will be up to the military court if you're around when they meet." "Jim..." "Do you have any plans?" "I'll go home, fix up the old place." "Travel maybe - west, I guess." "Anywhere near Baxter Springs?" "My first stop." "That different point of view again." "I plan to make it your last stop." "Next to last." "You'll like Atlanta."
