:02:08
Go, go, go!
:02:14
Well, jake...
:02:18
what do you make of it?
:02:21
It's an indian sacred place...
:02:24
like a church.
:02:29
The hell you say.
:02:31
You may tell your readers, gentlemen,
:02:33
that this expedition has thus far
exceeded my most sanguine expectations.
:02:38
We have discovered a rich
and beautiful country.
:02:41
Abundant game, fertile land.
:02:43
In short, all the bounties necessary
for the establishment of civilization.
:02:47
The laramie treaty of '68 made this
indian land, general custer,
:02:51
part of the great sioux reservation.
:02:54
Now, the sioux, they may not
take too kindly to trespassers.
:02:58
I shall recommend the
extinguishment of indian
:03:00
title at the earliest moment
practicable for military purposes.
:03:05
If congress should support the
settlement of the black hills, gentlemen,
:03:11
rest assured, the army will do its duty.
:03:15
Whoo!
:03:16
Gold!
:03:19
Gold! Gold!
:03:26
Jake, come on!
:03:36
Pay dirt, boys.
:03:42
Gold! Gold! Gold!
:03:55
Officially, the army brass had
sent custer into the black hills
:03:59
to map out the site of a new fort
