As Napoleon said, "Only thunderbolts
can be preferred to cannon."
:20:04
- Napoleon?
- Yes, sir!
:20:09
You'll do, Lieutenant. You'll have to.
:20:14
I need rifles and ammunition.
:20:17
It's all listed there in that inventory:
Number of rounds, types of ordnance.
:20:22
You go get them for me.
:20:25
Forthwith.
:20:33
Yes, sir!
:20:36
Lieutenant.
:20:38
- Sir?
- Where are you going?
:20:45
I said, "Where are you going?"
:20:48
To obtain...
:20:51
these weapons?
:20:52
And just how and where
do you intend to accomplish that?
:21:02
It has come to my attention that
a supply train from the Ordnance Depot...
:21:06
at Denver,
en route to the 2nd California Column...
:21:08
now garrisoned in Santa Fe...
:21:11
should be encamped tomorrow morning
at the Sand River crossing...
:21:15
thirty miles away.
:21:17
Now, if you have the opportunity,
you might just take C Troop.
:21:21
See if you can be of any assistance.
:21:27
Yes, sir.
:21:32
November 4.
:21:34
Lt. Graham had no official orders,
but this didn't stop him.
:21:37
He was very persuasive,
with Sgt. Gomez and C Troop standing by.
:21:42
He took what the Major needed.
:21:44
We returned with 48 new Henry rifles,
5,000 rounds of ammunition...
:21:49
and a baby howitzer
for the lieutenant to play with.
