Daniel Boone, Trail Blazer

Subs created by audio transcription, resynchronized and corrected by kaleletoren (2024)

John! Over here!

Look, John. The sap's still running.

Pa can't be more than half a day ahead of us.

Maybe not that much.

My pa's gonna gosh the buttskins off me when I tell him we've lost the trail.

Let's push on.

He's come far enough today, Jim.

Let's, uh, bed down.

We're just a hoot and a holler from Pa.

And you want to make camp?

You lost the way once.

Look at that sky.

More, more rain and night coming on.

Might do it again.

I still think we ought to push on.

I'll take my chances in the morning.

With the Redcoats turning up the Indians the way they are, we'd better keep moving.

Just because you're Daniel Boone's boy, I don't think it's got to go your way, Jim.

We'll make camp here.

You take the first car. Up there.

How many men ? - Six, six cars.

General Hamilton pays six good British rifles.

Not enough.

Allure! This is our agreement.

How many rifles for the yellow hair of Boone?

You say... Boone?

This time, Scarray, I take great pleasure to go with you.

How many rifles?

For Boone's scalp, many rifles.

The gateway to the west with a fort in the center, just the way I dreamed it.

Look all right to you, Becky?

If it does to you, Danno.

But it's good land, good hunting.

Even a man's shadow can't crowd him out here.

It's a long way from home.

This is home now, Danno.

Hold it!

What happened?

Ambush!

It's only a war party!

Ambush at Walden Creek!

Go pick up Holder. I'll have to go back. Sorry.

Take me with you, Pa. Not this time, son.

It's time we show them we won't put up with these killings.

If anyone has a right to fight, I do.

His ways may sometimes seem strange.

And we ask for strength and courage and his guidance as we face each new day here in the wilderness.

This we ask in his name. Amen.

Amen.

Sis, James wouldn't want you to feel that way.

James was a brave man and a brave man's deeds live long after he's gone.

James wanted Boonesboro to prosper.

He wanted people to come here, happy people.

As long as Boonesboro exists, your brother James will always be part of it.

He loved it. He believed in it, just the way we do.

So, let's be the same way for James.

Thanks, Pa.

Let's go home, Becky.

What we can't figure out is, what are we doing in this godforsaken wilderness anyway?

Transylvania Company put up a lot of money for us to come out here and build this fort.

Well we built it, didn't we?

And now I'm thinkin' it's time for us to go back to civilization before we get our hair

husked.

Andy, I just dropped by to check the supplies and ammunition before I left.

Do you really think you can find Squire and stop him?

A man can only do his best.

Well, you gotta do better than that, Boone! It's important to me! My daughter's on that wagon!

It's important to me, too, Andy. My three youngest children are riding with Squire.

When do you think you can leave?

In the morning, right after prayer meeting.

You're supposed to be a friend of Blackfish Boone. Why don't you talk to him?

I will, Andy, as soon as I find Squire and stop him.

Well, this is it. A few sacks of grain, a few kegs of powder.

It'll take months to get enough settlers and supplies down here to man this fort.

Meanwhile, we can't fight Redcoats and Redskins.

It's up to us to keep the peace, Andy.

With a tomahawk in your back?

It isn't how you die. It's what you live for.

We're here to protect the interests of the Transylvania Company.

We're here to help the settler moving west.

To replenish his supplies, to protect him as he's moving through the gap.

If we move out now, it'll take years before we can establish another fort.

You're a dreamer, Boone.

And maybe you're a fool, too.

If we leave now, we can save some lives.

A man has to do what he thinks best, Andy.

Colonel, someday Boonesboro will be the largest trading post and settlement in the west.

That's the kind of talk I keep getting from Boone.

I know, sir. That's where I got it.

Hi.

Hi.

Thanks.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Sure is.

What do you see out there, Susanna?

Rolling Hill? Green Valley?

A lot more than that, Farron.

I see a generous helping of the future.

Tomorrow.

And forever.

You know, I've been doing an awful lot of daydreaming up here.

Daydreaming an awful lot.

In fact, sometimes it even scares me a little bit.

It shouldn't.

My pa says that any dream is possible.

Of course, sometimes one takes a little longer than the other, but...

but all you have to do is... is keep dreaming.

Dreaming.

There's a long green valley, off beyond the mountains, long green valley.

Waiting there for me in the sun

Flows a bride that longs to sail to the sea

I'm going there where a man can make a life of his own

I'm settling there, I'm settling there, Where a man can live and die,

Beneath his own hump of sky, And be free, that's for me,

That's one Callaway you'll never have to worry about.

You mean that's one Callaway we will have to worry about.

Heavenly Father, protect Danil and his companions on their mission to bring our brothers, our

sisters, and our families to safety, so that we may subsist and protect ourselves from

the powers of evil and darkness in this wilderness.

Shani!

I'm from up there, Danil!

It's from Blackfish.

Red and yellow.

Means he wants to talk.

What does he aim to do?

Look, Andy, keep the fair meeting going and make it good and loud.

Stand firm in the faith.

Stand firm in the faith.

See you soon, Pa.

You know, son, some Indians don't like to talk to a white man with a rifle in his hand.

You still want to go?

Yes, Pa.

You're going to let him go, Ma?

It's your Pa's way of teaching, Suzie.

Let Daniel Boone leave Blackfish, and every settler in Kentucky will find his way here.

Kill him, and they all go back to where they belong.

No.

Boone is Sheltowee, my blood brother.

We have come here to give him my last warning.

Sheltowee welcomes Blackfish and his two sons White Fox and Running Deer.

This is my son Israel.

Sheltowee, my white brother, is welcome.

I told you I'd come back.

Take your white men back to their own lands.

Why do you return with many white men?

Such words fall upon my ears as though spoken by a lesser man.

They do not come from the heart and the spirit of the great chief of all the Shawnee.

White man has silver tongue.

It is sharp as a blade of a sword.

Cuts easy through the truth, Blackfish.

There's an ugly sound upon the wind.

Could it be the voice of a man?

Or the hiss of a serpent?

Simon Gurdie speaks.

He is on a brother like you.

Brother of Shawnee?

The last time I locked horns was Gurdie.

He was Cherokee.

He is surely now.

You have been warned, Boone.

Jaltawi?

Yes, Israel.

That's the name Blackfish gave me when he made me his blood brother.

It means big turtle.

So Andy Calloway called you a dreamer, did he?

Becky, what do you think?

Here I am fighting the Indians and the British and some of our own people as well.

That makes you wonder as to who's out of step.

It isn't you, Dad.

Are you sure? Not just walking around in a dream and out of step?

Not out of step. But in a dream, yes.

But it's the kind of dream that's made our land the kind of place it is.

That kind of talk you scare a man, Becky.

Are you afraid?

No.

Neither am I.

This is for good luck, Daniel.

Becky, you've been so good for me.

You deserve for me to be just as good for you.

Ready, Mr. Boone.

Be with you in a minute.

Yes, sir. Bye.

What?

Oh.

Hello.

I shouldn't be out here.

No?

No.

But Israel told me you wanted to see me.

Israel told...

My, that's funny. He told me the same thing.

What's the matter, son?

Nothing, Pa.

Better get your goodbyes over, Farron.

We're leaving.

Goodbye, son.

Goodbye, Pa.

Well, well maybe you, maybe you want to kiss me goodbye or something.

All right.
