Here's our route, Hoss.
:33:06
We just skirt right around Roscoe
and head straight on out to Enid.

:33:09
Enid? Ain't we going through Tallapoosa?
:33:13
Long way out of the way.
:33:14
Don't worry, Mr. Wagoner.
We'll make it to Tulsa, all right.

:33:17
When we do,
we'll look up Mr. Durwood Arnspringer.

:33:20
Mr. Who?
:33:22
Fellow owes me some money.
:33:24
Wake me, Hoss, when we get to Enid.
:33:40
- All right, we're getting close.
- Close to what?

:33:43
This is where it happened. Pull over.
:33:50
The Hennessy Line ran right along
over there.

:33:53
Stretching from horizon to horizon.
:33:57
- What're you talking about, Grandpa?
- The Run! It was the Run, boy.

:34:01
When they opened the Cherokee Strip
to white settlers.

:34:04
September 16, 1893.
:34:07
This is where it happened?
:34:09
The Hennessy Line ran along
right over there.

:34:12
People lined up as far as you could see.
:34:15
Thousands and thousands of people.
:34:18
Men, women, kids. All ages. All kinds.
:34:22
On horses and mules,
in wagons, buckboards, surreys...

:34:27
Some of them on foot. Lots of them.
:34:30
Where were you?
:34:35
See that hump in that ridge over yonder?
:34:39
That's where I was, near about.
:34:42
I was 18 then...
:34:44
set in the saddle of an old mule,
an old saddle.

:34:47
I rode that old mule
all the way from Tennessee.

:34:50
I got him here three days before the Run,
so I could rest him up.

:34:56
It was the greatest horse race
in the history of the world, boy...
