Ain't you lost enough tail feathers
back there?
:54:06
I've been plucked some.
:54:09
But that's what I like about this country.
:54:11
There's always greener grass
over the next hill.
:54:14
Not no more.
Not since that damn railroad come.
:54:17
All the grass is bein' staked out now,
with a lock on it.
:54:22
Maybe I'll just have to climb
a little higher hill to find it.
:54:28
How about comin' along?
:54:30
Are you crazy?
:54:32
Like the Indians say, "These rocks
and trees around here feel no call to move.
:54:36
"Why should I?"
:54:38
Guess I'm not an Indian, Jethro.
:54:41
And I'm sure not a rock nor a tree.
:54:44
A man belongs with his own kind,
like him or not.
:55:21
The coming of railroads brought changes
in the land through which they passed.
:55:26
Now, immense herds of cattle were driven
hundreds of miles to meet the lines...
:55:29
... bound for markets in the East.
:55:32
Fences went up, cattle trails were barred...
:55:35
... and a long and bloody wrangle began
between cattlemen and homesteaders.
:55:39
The law was in the hands of whoever
could shoot fast and straight...
:55:43
... except where there was somebody
determined to stand for law.
:55:47
Others might look on sheep and a shepherd
as a pastoral scene.
:55:54
But not the cattleman.
:55:55
To him, sheep destroyed grass,
and grass came dear.
