his left foot forward.
Now your right.
That's the spirit.
Left!
Right!
Left!
Right!
Left!
Here, you!
Whatever your name is,
come over here!
Bring that
little indian boy.
Right!
Left!
Right!
Your name is billy.
Get over here.
Give this soldier
a little support
until that blood
stops running.
That's it. Left!
Right!
In a few days,
you'll lick any man
in the outfit.
Left! Right!
I'll see you
at sundown, harvard.
Left!
Right!
Keep on your feet,
turner.
They're all you've got
between you and bread
and molasses.
I'm glad
you can't see yourself
in those beads, mcneal.
Ha ha ha!
What have you got in
that knapsack, crofton?
Souvenir.
You better throw it away
if it's heavy.
It's not heavy.
It's light.
Ha ha ha!
Rangers...
fall out!
Make camp!
Marriner! Beacham!
Yes, sir.
Come on, son.
How are you feeling?
I'm all right.
Ah!
I'm first-rate.
That's good.
Don't you think
you better sit down?
No, i better not.
If i sat down,
to get up again.
No, i'd better not.
You sure ought to be glad
that hole isn't in you.
I guess you're right.
But that's as nice
a place for a hole
as i could think of
if i thought all day...
if you have to
have a hole.
How far have we come?
Oh, about 15 miles,
as near as i can figure.
It's almost sundown,
isn't it?
Yeah.
Jesse and me will
take you into camp.
You go with the women
where you belong.
I'm fixing his bandage.
I'll tend to that.
Go on!
Do like i tell you.
Go on! Get out of here!
No! Leave me alone!
Here, you mink.
Don't you start
raising cain with these men
or i'll turn you loose
in the woods.
Soldier.
Go ahead.
Turn me loose.
I didn't ask
to come, did i?
Turn me loose,
why don't you?
Some of us
could carry him, sir.
fasten a blanket between.
Like a hammock.
I won't do it.
I'm all right,
i tell you.
As long as i can
stay on my feet.
He's right.
If we carried him,
he'd be like
a baby for weeks.
If you can go
15 miles today
with that hole in you,
you can go anywhere.
How far is it
to lake memphremagog?
It's about...
ask her.
It looks like
she's going to
take care of you.
Harvard,
i'm proud of you.
You've been eating
too much.
How much of that corn
have you eaten today?
I had two handsful.
I got pretty hungry.
Guess i must be
feeling better.
Well, you can't have it.
You'll walk 10 days
on 1 handful a day.
You're not going
to get more now.
Are we almost
to memphremagog?
Ask that big moose
up ahead.
There's the lake,
boys!
Memphremagog,
plenty of fish there!
We're going to eat!
Food!
There's the lake.
This way!
Wait. Where do you
think you're going?
A mess of trout
for supper.
A mess of french lead
and hatchets for supper,
more likely.
What's the matter
with you men?
But, major,
you said when we
reached the lake,
we could stop
to hunt and fish.
Sure you did.
Yeah.
Put yourselves
in the shoes
of that french commander
that found our boats.
If he's guessed
we came to memphremagog,
he came here, too.
I'm going down
with the indians to look.
The rest of you,
stay here
until i get back.
Major, my men are
mighty hungry.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
They've got corn,
haven't they?
Captain jacobs,
kankaba.
If you fellas
were smart,
you wouldn't
have to eat corn.
Hey, there.
Hey, there.
Don't take the red one.
I'm saving that
for dessert.
Where's the food?
Didn't we make it?
Langdon, you're just
in time for a little corn
with the rest
of us roosters.
See the patch
in that moccasin?
That moccasin
belonged to webster,
the man we left
in the swamp.
Same french indian
who killed webster.
They come here, too.
Mmm.
You can't expect
the men to keep going
day in and day out
without food.
A few grains of corn
won't keep their bodies
in condition.
You said when we got
to lake memphremagog,
we could hunt and fish.
We've been talking
things over.
If we can't hunt here,
we think we should hold
an officers' council
and take a vote on what's
the best thing to do.
That's regulations,
if you want to do it
that way.
I vote to get to wentworth
as soon as we can.
But, major, my men
are starving.
If we don't find
something to eat,
we won't go
anyplace.
That's right.
What do you want to do?
Stay here and fish
and get roasted alive?
No, sir,
but the men feel
they'll be all right
if they
could split up
into hunting parties
and look for game.
That's what
my detachment thinks.
We could hunt,
then join up together again
and meet
anyplace you say.
[Major rogers]
Your men grumbling, too?
Not grumbling,
they just want
a little food.
Game's as scarce
as hen's teeth.
Gone out
of the woods,
i guess.
A big party
like this
will drive away
what's left.
Captain ogden,
what's your idea?
Well, sir, it's pretty hard
to drive hungry men,
but i think
we'd be better off
if we stick together.
[Men jeer]
Now, wait a minute.
I agree with ogden.
We're all pretty hungry,
but a hungry man
can go on
a lot longer
than he thinks he can
if he keeps his courage.
You know,
i'm pretty hungry myself,
but it's better
to be hungry
than to be cut up alive
with hatchets.
We'll be safe when we get
to wentworth.
That's only 100 miles
from here,
as the crow flies.
But, major,
we ain't crows.
Wait a minute.
You know,
this is tricky country.
It would be
a mighty easy place
for a small party
to get ambushed in.
We'd better vote,
major.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, we'll vote.
Aye.
Aye.
Aye.
Aye.
Aye.
Aye.
Aye.
Well, that settles it.
We'll split up
into four parties.
All detachments
will meet here
at eagle mountain.
I'll have maps for you
before you leave.
And don't miss me
at eagle mountain
because you'll
never find wentworth
by yourselves.
All right,
get ready to go.
Number one company,
form over here.
Number two company,
form over here.
Number three company,
over here.
Sergeant mcnott.
Yes, sir.
Send the white women
with captain jacobs,
sergeant clark,
and half
of our scouts
straight
across to crown point.
Sergeant clark.
Yes, sir.
If them french
and injuns
would lend me
a boat and bait,
i'd go catch me a trout.
You ain't hungry,
are you?
I'd rather not
discuss it.
You won't starve.
I'll see to that.
Say, if you got food,
fetch it out.
No. You ain't
hungry enough yet.
Ha ha ha.
What's the matter
with crofton?
I don't know, sir.
Crofton!
No, no, no, no!
That's mine!
That's mine!
I'll kill you.
I'll kill you,
and i'll eat
your head, too.
Crofton.
No, no, no, rogers!
No, no, no!
Aah!
What did he have
in that sack?
The head of
an abanochi indian.
I'm sending you
with farrington.
Why, sir?
Because you've
got an education
and farrington hasn't.
A man with an education
isn't apt to get discouraged
and quit
as quickly as one without.
Don't worry.
You've got one advantage
over the rest.
They just want to
