:07:04
You got mountains covered with snow in
summer and forests that go on forever,
:07:09
rivers that you can't hardly see across.
:07:13
Sometimes you wait half a day
for a buffalo herd to run past.
:07:18
Big shaggy beasts.
:07:19
3 times a horse.
:07:21
Horizon to horizon.
:07:25
And the pacific, unsullied by human hands,
as it was on the eighth day of the world.
:07:34
See if that'll work for ya.
:07:37
Thank you.
:07:39
Did you finish shoein' that
plow horse like I told ya?
:07:43
Fine young man you got here.
:07:45
If he doesn't get knocked
into a cocked hat first.
:07:48
And you let the fire burn down, too.
:07:50
We could've turned out another wheel
before the end of the day, but not now.
:07:54
Think you can put a
sharper edge on this for me?
:07:56
Yes, sir.
:07:58
Is that...
:07:59
human blood?
:08:00
Arkansas toothpick ain't
for cuttin' your steak.
:08:07
So where are you headed, sir?
:08:09
St. Louis to meet up
with Mr. Jedediah Smith.
:08:13
The Jedediah Smith?
:08:14
God made only one of him
for all of us to look up to.
:08:17
Who's that?
:08:19
Mr. Smith opened up the
deep west for trappers.
:08:22
Lookin' for a few good
mountain men to explore
:08:25
the beaver populations
around the great salt lake.
:08:28
How much can a man make off a beaver?
:08:30
They keep buyin' beaver hats in London and
Paris, upwards to 4,000 or 5,000 a year.
:08:38
It's time for you to get
back to work now, all of ya.
:08:41
5,000.
:08:47
Oh, now, Margaret, that
is a fine-looking goose.
:08:50
Do you believe that beaver story?
:08:52
Sunday dinner was another form
of labor with my father and Nick...
:08:56
my mother Margaret...
:08:57
say grace first.
:08:58
My brothers Ezra, Nathan, and Jethro.
