The surviving Indian warriors
:01:03
were now being rounded up
by the U.S. Army.

:01:09
In Washington,
William Howard Taft...

:01:11
300 pounds of pure Republican...
was President

:01:13
and life was comfortable.
:01:15
In other parts of the country,
men were fighting each other

:01:18
and the elements.
:01:23
In the New York
department stores

:01:25
a lady could buy maxis
and boots and live in style.

:01:28
Out west,
they didn't think about style,

:01:30
just living.
:01:36
Eastern empire builders
had secured their fortunes...

:01:39
the Morgans,
Vanderbilts, Carnegies.

:01:41
There were empires
in the west, too,

:01:43
such as
the great McCandles Ranch.

:01:47
But these huge ranches
were held together

:01:49
only by having
enough men and guns.

:01:55
Notre Dame teams
were playing football

:01:57
with end Knute Rockne
catching a forward pass.

:02:01

:02:03
another team,
the Arizona Rangers

:02:05
were busy just trying
to keep the peace.

The dance hall girl in the
Klondike gold rush saloon

:02:19
was somewhat different.
:02:21
By 1909, still photographs
had come to life.

:02:23
Motion pictures had been born
with The Great Train Robbery.

:02:30
While that make-believe drama
was on the movie screens

:02:34
nine men crossed the Rio Bravo
into Texas.

:02:43
The turbulent years
between the Civil War

:02:45
and the turn of the century
:02:46
brought out the best
in some people

:02:48
but in others,
it brought out the worst.

:02:50
Example: O'Brien,
a half-breed Apache

:02:52
born of a Chiricahua mother
and Irish father.

:02:55
A professional gunfighter...
one of the last of his kind.

:02:59
Pop Dawson...
rode with the James boys
