The Unparalleled Western Movie That's a Must-See Experience | Prisoners of War Against the Apache

[Music] I understand you men were all part of General Jeff Stewart's own Cavalry we reckon we still are I'll be brief this war is over for me some Chattanooga swamp fever and and this around the ticket that's sending me to New Mexico I don't mind saying that I'd be proud to have you with me as a unit officers and men why don't you come along the war's certainly over for you that's a fact and my offer is a way out of this stinking pest hole out and the only way out easy as there'll be no further exchanges of prisoners of War General Grant's order of August 19th is final ain't we never going to see home again is your senior officer here would he be out picking flowers say colonel Captain wants to pass the time of day with you are any of the other outfits accepting this technically the offer is open to all prisoners of War but in Indian Country what we need is Cavalry Colonel Tucker is the fifth Georgia sir Captain Bradford late to the Pennsylvania first Colonel clay Tucker isn't it yeah this is rather unusual I'm authorized to offer you a commission tempting me Captain no as a matter of fact I'm offering you a demotion to second lieutenant if you'll accept it when you say we Southerners won't be asked to fight against our own that's right you fail to mention how many Northern Troopers we'll be relieving to do just that there are no Troopers out west who can be relieved Colonel they're either greenhorns or casualties like me Colonel Tucker I hope you won't be offended if I remind you of an officer's duty to his men what duty is that to conserve their lives you do it in battle I can't imagine that you're happy just sitting here useless to the South or anyone the colonel don't need no reminding of his duties he's BR us through more tight squeaks and I beg the Colonel's pardon all right I lay down the deal plainly to all of you it's no charity picnic you're invited to it's a soldier's life at 40 cents a day they'll be fighting and there may be men killed but a doctor for your sick food for your bellies rains in your hand and a horse to ride take an hour think it over Bull's eyes Serge got to keep his hair parted got the yank Army well on yellow bellies say you've been wrong about everything you've been fighting for everything your women is starving for well I don't know s I'm as good at georan as an next man I reckon but I'm hungry to eat some dust and the man likes to ride we just rot in here but it ain't the fever is the dissenter 10 more just last month tell us what to do Colonel no no I won't tell you what to do this time each man must make his own decision there's just one thing we've been through some tight squeaks as Pickin said and I'd hate to see us split up and why don't we stop chewing on each other and take a boat what about you Colonel I'll go with the majority all right all you Southerners come on on this side of the room D here come hey you squatting in the middle make up still so I can count you 21 for leaving Colonel and 21 for staying sir hey wait up now Ash Cooper ain't voted yet hey Ash what do you say [Music] as won't be voting sir now it's a dead time looks like you'll have to settle it sir I re you

California well as you see I I'm only here want to tell me about it if you'd like I uh I wrote to Henry soon after he was sent out here I wrote to him for help I told him I wanted to go back home that's a place called uh Monteray isn't it yes I told him I could get this far with an army supply train he wrote back to come along and soon as possible he'd send me on my way with the first escorted Wagon Train to California been here more than 6 months six really but what's kept you here there's been no chance to get any further I was all right at first and I suppose it couldn't be helped there have been no wagon trains getting through no troops to be spared one thing and another didn't he know he had no troops when he wrote me to come [Music] [Applause] [Music] here I suppose uh he expected reinforcements months before we came I suppose he did well now that we're here I expect you be on your way again oh yes I must admit I'm glad you haven't gone yet you know Elena you've been a great

recall [Music] take s Fellers to put them on the Run sound it [Music] again [Music] oh now who did that to us you forgetting we're in the Yankee Army now recalls their favorite tune I told you they could [Music] ride Lieutenant Tucker it is not my Habit to address a reprimand to an officer in the presence of enlisted personnel but in this instance I consider it advisable to make an exception I presume I'm to commend your dashing Southern Spirit Well then I commend your spirit but hardly your judgment you'd have written in there all right exactly as the Redskins wanted you to into a trap like ducks following a decoy I venture to express the doubt that either you or any of your men would ever have written out again do I make my point sufficiently clear Lieutenant yes sir oh come right home Follow Me Right order Tucker Sam this is the first chance I've had to tell you that well that I'm very sorry for the embarrassment that you were caused while you were a guest in our quarters that's generous of you man not at all might understand that you don't hold me personally responsible for the killing off of your husband I'm right relieved to hear that I'm talking to you Mr Tucker because Fort Thorn is a very small post and it seems unavoidable that you and I well all the people in it should should be placed in close contact ma'am you choose to put it that way I understand for the sake of the common good you're willing to overlook the unhappy fact that I was born a southerner are you laughing at me Lieutenant no ma'am no ma'am but it's on my mind it would be a sight more important if the major shared your charitable sentiments in your place Miss keniston I'd be a little frightened of a brother-in-law who so plainly believ believed in Sati in what Sati it's an Indian word uh Hindu not paty excuse me man Brett are you any good at words the words there's a word I'd like to know the meaning of Sati Sati well it's not so much of a word Elena as it as it is a custom Hindu yes when a man dies his widow is supposed to throw herself on his blazing funeral p and finish her life too oh it's a very drastic kind of morning I call it whatever made you think of that I'm sorry I don't speak Spanish oh nothing nothing important prepare to Dismount Dismount forward hell congratulations on your knowledge of Hindu Customs Lieutenant thank you but I'll have you know I'm not committing Sati or is anyone forcing me to I'm sure everybody would be Mighty glad to hear that it certain it would be a sinful waste Miss kiston Captain Stanley you'll take the morning Patrol as far as Crossing keep on the alert for any signs of Indian migration yes sir Captain Bradford you'll remain in headquarters prepare a full report on all field activities of the past 30 days yes what's here Stephie concerning the two prisoners sir you ask oh yes yesen Tucker yes sir in the guard house are two Renegades Edwards and Fairchild convicted of running whiskey and guns to the Indians before you attend to the Mount send a detail to carry out the sentence of the Court it'll be executed and their bodies buried outside the post your sergeant what's his name Pickins you should be able to handle it at once Lieutenant yes things dragged on for months Mr Reynolds your showing rosters haven't been received see what they turned in today yes sir's got a bad quarter crack here hey lieutenant tuckeron the boys me got to see you what about we got to see you something take a look at that Barrel report sir just look for yourself we didn't know until it was too late we didn't know we've taken their muck as long as we can now you got to be with us or against us keep it s keep it go back to your quarters he won't be a minute thank you yes sir wish to see me Lieutenant take a look at that what about it Indian whiskey Sellers and renegades these men were agents of the confederate government spies yes I suppose there were that too the one usually goes hand in hand with the rather would you like to see the records of their trial I've seen enough well what's the point Lieutenant a detail of my men has been required to shoot to death two Confederate citizens we came here on the representation we'd never have to do anything against the South that's right never occurred to me in orders an order the government made that promise and I did I'm not sitting behind a roll top desk in Washington I'm running an Army Post what's the use of talking about it now sentence of the Court Marshal's been carried out the men are dead anything else no nothing else nothing at all I'm very sorry you broke that agreement I assume naturally sir that it was by accident but just the same proves what I've said about these Rebels from the beginning look here hery you can't go on fighting the Civil War out here you can leave it open those men took an oath of Allegiance we took an oath to the South once too well then put put it this way if you want a man to be a good soldier you must treat him like one you take me for a fool Mark that man's a rebel to the core go over the hill first good chance he gets that's the only thing we can do we get our gear together and our horses money oh y'all an apology I was wrong we've been a talking a week words of that oath we took back there hollow as a bell the major just canceled the bargain you mean we're getting out of here sir how does it feel to be wearing gray again oh now let's be reasonable Henry if these men weren't sincere why they had every opportunity to Desert on the way over here from Kansas City nothing stood between them and freedom but me why didn't they go then perhaps you're right don't you agree Elena these men have every reason to have strong feelings give them a little time don't ask Elena her mind is full only of how she can get to California Oh Hang It All Henry give these men a chance all right I'll give them a chance I'll give them that chance just as soon as [Music] [Applause] [Music] possible good morning good morning this is what I like to see right we don't mind it ourselves all sir you have all the ammunition your requisition calls for well let him take it sergeant if we don't use it you'll get it back you'll get it back all right I wonder if I could ask you a favor that's your service ma'am I have my trunk all packed I'll be traveling with the Simpkins and I was wondering if a couple of your men when they're free could take it to their wagon for me you aren't going miss kister what do you mean of course I'm going everything's all arranged I'm already your name's not on my list it was on it but it was taken off that's preposterous you've made a mistake perhaps you'd better ask the major I only take orders I must say we were disappointed I uh the men and I were looking forward to the pleasure of your company I understand Reverend Simpkins you'll be undertaking this journey solely on your own responsibility my good wife and I are fully prepared major and we're very grateful for the hospitality that's all that's all thank you who's next Sergeant Mr strong sir strong so you're getting us off your hands major you're a merchant by occupation right you are you'll find my papers in order well just as a matter of curiosity what are you doing in New Mexico there must be more bustling fields of Commerce just passing through back and forth North what's your destination well now major you're downright suspicious of me it's good it's your duty I think it's about time I came out in the open I'm not what I seem these are my credentials from the war department you're relieved some huh U Captain Bradford excuse me right sir wait outside of course I'm very glad glad about what that you changed your mind that I changed my mind well didn't you I didn't ask the major why I I just cheered you were really my friend you'd want to help me then we understand each other perfectly major I want to see you I've been expecting sit down my de don't excite yourself I'm going with that Wagon Train Henry man will have me think you prefer the company of savage Indians to mine you said I could go on the first escorted train I took that to be a promise I did promise I suppose but the risks and perils are too great you're my ward my responsibility you're my dead brother's wife and I owe a debt to him to see that his widow has returned safely to her family I'd never forgive myself if I didn't surely you can understand that but if I'm quite willing to take the risk myself you can't I I can't let you I think of Richard and I put myself in his place I put myself in his place and think what he would want for you he'd want you to be kept here with me for the present where you could have my care and protection and if I don't want your care and [Music] protection you were happy when you first came here you told me so what's happened to the Good Feeling we used to have when I could watch you moving about our quarters doing the small womanly tasks she might have done a riched were [Music] alive which could make me we imagine he still [Music] was you better tighten that lashing Mr Dibble yes [Music] sir all squared up Reverend I'm sure we are Captain watch out for Indians they may be your brothers as you say but hang on to your scalp I'll do that [Music] captain in order go to your post yes [Applause] your a This to Memory I have sir everything checked on accounted for sir well and there's nothing more to be said is there except a safe journey than you sir clay good luck thanks I may need it bye Brad by twos by The Right Flight [Applause] oh that's a thank you Henry thank me for what for giving my rebs this mission for trusting them well I do trust them I trust them if V mov right into Texas the minute they smell Rebel ground what on Earth are you thinking well I hope I'm thinking with the brain of a soldier that seems to require a bit of explanation to you all right I don't mind giving you a lesson you see if I'm ever in a real pinch around here I'd like to be sure that all of the enemy is in front of my guns not some of it in my ranks so if they going to Desert let them to Desert now at least I won't be any worse off than I was before they came here does that satisfy you no it doesn't hang it you let civilians go with them oh don't worry about the civilians they deliver them before they scoot they're not necessarily Savages just because they're traitors besides there not a civilian in that train whom I didn't warn personally that he was going at his own [Music] risk [Music] ear sir I think you want to go back there what's the matter Mrs is kenniston in the Parson wagon Sergeant Pickin just found [Applause] her I was nervous we'd get into [Music] trouble well miss canist you can't send me back now I won't go back where do you think you're going may I have a word with you sir better have a pretty good one Rend this young woman has a family waiting for her in California she appealed my wife and me for help from a situation which I can assure you it was only after much prayer that we decided it was our Christian duty to help her don't send her back Lieutenant who said anything about sending her back well I'm very grateful Lieutenant I've always heard that Southerners were gentlemen ma'am among the Spanish people it's a quality we value would you hear that gentleman must be Mighty jolty for you riding in that wagon a horsewoman like you gentleman take my Mount Mrs kenniston I can double up with Hank there oh no I wouldn't think but I'd considered a privilege it's been a spell since any of us have had a chance to serve a lady I'd counted as an honor to my own sweetheart back home she's a rare Beauty like yourself ma'am well put it that way that's very generous of you lieutenant no skin off my nose if she cares to ride along with us as far as we're going well I certainly hadn't expected anything like this you put us on our metal B gentlemen escort the lady to the front thank you [Applause] here comes a major running like a turkey who's the officer of the day Captain Bradford sir order out of Detachment on the double Elena is missing have my horse brought up too well you'd never catch them Henry they're on forced March and they've had 12-hour start don't argue do as I say how many men will you want how many well a small detail will be taken by the Indians if not those revs will put up a fight if they're deserting as you seem to think should I order out the Garrison and leave the post undefended are you trying to make it look impossible it is impossible isn't it what are you staring at I'm just taking a look at you Henry you might as well know that I knew she'd gone what are you say that I saw her in the Simkins wagon and I let her go why you I think she had every right Captain Bradford you'll confine yourself to quarters until further notice [Music] [Applause] mind if I ride along I'll get for Mr lamb his horse your outfit's making good ground sir my orders we not to lose

through too that's fishy in the same way what are you up to strong the same thing you are Colonel Tucker only I'm going about it as part of a big plan not just shooting off wild the way you are what will it come to you're running off to Texas for short Leed man you jump to Long conclusions What would you do work your way back to Georgia and throw your handful of men in front of Sherman's Army I can show you a way that each of your men would count for 10 maybe more I'm a Confederate agent Tucker is that what you say you are oh by the way your mother and sister are all right they're enrichment what's on your mind look here here's Texas New Mexico Arizona California we're going to link Confederate Texas with the Pacific Ocean in California there are tens of thousands of Southern sympathizers waiting to come across the border we'll meet them with supplies there'll be wagon trains meeting all along the line we'll draw a defense line straight across the nation you mean what general SE had in mind 3 years ago yes it's got to come true our nation is dying Colonel I've been in the north I've seen what they're killing us with the shoe factories and gun Factor you don't have to tell me what they've got in the north we're being suffocated by the Yankee blockade but if we can get the goldfields in California and the Sea ports on the Pacific you said my men would count 10 to one what can they do first go back to Fort Thorn go back now you tip off everything if you desert now go on back be patient keep your eye on the fort it's the only block between Texas and Tucson get the confidence of the m as I did he's got me pegged as working for the war department in Washington he's got you pegged as a Reb who's on his way to dessert he's a smart Soldier don't you see you'll have him in your hand if you go back now wait till I get you the word then meet one of our supply trains and join up there's a big day coming if you work this carefully will your men follow you back when with the word come they're impatient I can practically see Texas from here I'm just as impatient as you are could be months could be next week will you do it yes Colonel there's a thing that bothers me that girl coming along the major sets a store by her he'll never forgive you I didn't get her out I'm not talking about getting her out I'm talking about taking her back that is if you think it's important having the major trust [Music] you in the morning when you turn the wagons over to the unit from Fort [Music] boy roll the wagons roll [Music] them [Music] I just want to thank you once again Lieutenant don't mention it ziden Pickins I don't know exactly why I should wish you good fortune but I do goodbye Zant take Miss kenniston into custody put her on a horse tie her on if necessary she's coming back with us oh no let me [Music] go and in view of the wholesale desertion of these Rebels I again called to the attention of the chief of staff a lack of wisdom in freeing these traitors only to place Army posts like this in Jeopardy paragraph trucker will be back and I may be stubborn not only stubborn Captain you're also asinine they're 24 hours overdue I have continuously requested being relieved of this command being assigned to a post where I could be of help in winning the war of the Rebellion yes CED wait Duffy I beg your pardon sir Lieutenant Tucker is here the orders have been carried out sir civilians delivered anything wrong sir let me have my moment of surprise absolutely no incidents on the road sir we took it easy coming back we mounts were what have you done with Mrs kenniston there's a strange story sir we've been out about 6 hours when she was discovered I know she was in the Reverend Simpkins wagon Lieutenant the name wasn't on my list so uh if you've allowed Mrs Kennon without my permiss no sir you'll find her in your quarters sir you brought her back I hope I didn't do wrong thank you sorry to say sir it did take a little for he had you gone for the hills yeah I guess we all [Music] did [Music] [Applause] [Music] Elena why did you do this why did you disobey me you knew the responsibility I felt for your safety they might have beli you had to be dragged back here you had so little regard for my feelings or for principle or for memories are you completely blind to yourself Henry suppose you intend to explain what you mean why do
