Many was the time as a boy
I listened to his tale of
:04:04
how a cannon subtracted a
leg at the battle of yorktown.
:04:08
I'd have wagered both
mine to see what he saw.
:04:11
My misfortune was to be born in a
drab age and to have lived in the
:04:15
stifle of a barn where a man was
only as good as the things he crafted.
:04:19
Wheelwrights we were, going back to the
time when they invented the damn thing.
:04:24
Wheelers made wheels, but in my day,
we'd seen the wheels made the wheelers.
:04:30
All the long day, I lived
in my books, and by night,
:04:34
I dreamed of a better life
beyond the mississippi.
:04:37
Morning, Enoch.
:04:39
Hi, papa.
:04:39
How are you?
:04:40
Good.
:04:40
Good.
:04:41
Nathan.
:04:42
Mornin'.
:04:55
Now, that is a thing of beauty.
:05:00
Man: Anybody see jacob?
:05:05
Jacob?
:05:12
At your age, I was repairing
cannon wheels at valley forge.
:05:16
At least you got to see
a bit of the world, sir.
:05:18
That was the war.
:05:20
We had no choice.
:05:21
Thank god you live in a time of peace.
:05:23
Yes, sir.
:05:24
Apply yourself to the anvil,
and you're set for life.
:05:27
It takes 10 years to make
a journeyman wheelwright.
:05:30
Another 10 for master.
:05:32
You'll never lack for work.
:05:33
They need wheels in time of peace,
they need wheels in time of...
:05:37
don't you sass me, young man!
:05:39
Yes, sir.
:05:42
You boys knock off for lunch now.
:05:45
Except jacob.
:05:47
You already had yours.
:05:49
Plow horse needs shoeing out there.
