Young sweethearts in Springfield,
IL. |
 |
Davy watches as the two-fingered
Indian kills his father with an ax. |
 |
The dance hall girl, Ruby,
tells Jesson, "My friends will make you very rich if you
fail to find a shorter pass than Smokey River." |
 |
Miriam and Dave haven't seen each
other since they were children. |
 |
Marsh: "Davy, our money
is running low -- unless we can find a shorter cut than Smokey
River, we're beaten!"
Dave: "Dad showed me exactly
what you're looking for -- one night just before -- he was murdered
by a two-fingered renegade who headed a band of Cheyennes."
|
 |
After the fight with Jesson,
Dave tells Miriam, "Listen, Miriam, I didn't come here to
quarrel with him --"
Miriam: "Then you came to
drink -- and gamble -- and -- and dance -- You came straight
to this -- this vile den! You're as untrustworthy as he is!"
|
 |
"Bauman tries desperately
to halt work through the new pass by inciting the hostile Cheyennes
to war." |
 |
Fighting off the Indian attack. |
 |
Dave goes after an Indian
sharpshooter hiding in the stack of railroad ties. It turns out
to be Bauman -- and when he notices only two fingers on the right
hand, he knows this is the man who killed his father. |
 |
Dave and Miriam walk away
from an historic moment - Promontory Point, Utah, May 10, 1869
- the meeting of the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific rail
lines. |
