- No, they won't.

If I can get in the clear, there isn't

an Indian living that can catch me.

Say you're not afraid

and you want me to go.

Lana.

I'm not afraid.

I want you to go.

Lana, he got away.

Let 'em start.

Any sign of them yet?

Blue Back says it's quiet-

too quiet out there.

He left before sunrise.

It's almost 12:
00 now.

If he had reached Fort Dayton,

help would be here by now.

Parson! They're over the wall!

- Every man to his post!

Pull!

Have you seen Lana?

No, I ain't, Gil.

Parson, have you seen Lana?

I killed a man.

- Lana. Lana.

It's me. It's Gil.

Oh.

Where's Caldwell?

- Where's Caldwell?

Where's Caldwell?

- Come on! Hey!

Squad left!

March!

Company halt!

- Order arms!

- At ease.

- Where are you men going?

- Home.

- Home?

The war's over. Cornwallis surrendered

to Washington at Yorktown last week.

So that's our new flag,

the thing we've been fighting for.

Thirteen stripes for the colonies...

and 13 stars in a circle

for the union.

It's a pretty flag, isn't it?

Hey, soldier,

let me take that flag a minute.

- We did a little fightin' around here ourselves.

- Way up high.

- Put it up there!

- Way up to the top!

- Take it up!

- Put it up there!

Well, I reckon we better

be gettin' back to work.

There's gonna be a heap

to do from now on.
