My initial impression
of First Lieutenant Charles Gatewood...
:08:06
...remains distinct in my memory.
:08:08
His brusqueness was entirely military,
balanced by unfailing good manners.
:08:13
In his most matter-of-fact way,
he gave me my first order...
:08:16
...as an officer
of the United States Cavalry.
:08:19
I was to accompany him south.
:08:22
We were going to bring in Geronimo.
:08:25
He's due in a few days.
:08:27
We'Il go on down to the border
and escort him to San Carlos.
:08:35
About 75 miles to the border
from here, Mr. Davis.
:08:38
Plenty of time to get acquainted
with your new mount.
:08:41
-Sir?
-Yes?
:08:43
Just you and me?
:08:45
The General figured that if we had
Geronimo we didn't need much protection.
:08:49
Yes, sir.
:08:51
A small detachment means
we're not threatening the hostiles.
:08:55
You wouldn't want to pose a threat
to Geronimo, would you?
:08:58
No, sir.
:09:16
The Lieutenant was a man of confidence
and experience in the Apache wars.
:09:20
In time I came to realise
he was much admired by his peers...
:09:24
...much respected by his superiors.
:09:35
That's the border, Mr. Davis.
:09:39
-How will he find us?
-Easy. We're the only ones out here.
:09:50
Lieutenant?
