Jacob!
:12:13
Jacob, look here, Jacob...
:12:15
what's in the newspaper.
:12:20
"Pathfinders needed to
escort parties "west from
:12:22
Independence, Missouri
through to california...
:12:26
"following paths trail-blazed by the
recently deceased Mr. Jedediah Smith"?
:12:35
"Running low on water,
" Mr. Smith went ahead of
:12:37
the wagon train to find a
watering hole or spring. "
:12:40
He was leading a party
on the cutoff to santa fe.
:12:42
That part of the country's
Comanche territory.
:12:44
He knew that.
:12:46
He cut sign with the best of them.
:12:47
He... he knew a man alone ain't got a chance.
:12:57
Well, he was a god-fearing man.
:13:00
He was a modest man.

Things were at their bleakest and it looked
like the sun would wash our bones and he...
:13:15
kept us goin' and he kept me believin'.
:13:19
Now he's dead.
:13:20
He wanted me to stay out west.
:13:23
said if I didn't, I'd never
know the man I could have been,
:13:28
the man god wanted me to be.
:13:32
Wheelerton's gone stale.
:13:37

:13:37
Maybe it's the dare of it all.
:13:41
Besides, I don't like how they treat you...
:13:44
or young margaret light shines.
:13:46
It's not like family.
:13:49
They will grow accustomed to us.
:13:54
A man expects more from family.
:13:57
I want back west.
