Wagon Train1957

Major Seth Adams:
Yes sir, those barren hillsides where ya know there was gonna be grass - but there wasn't any grass... and then ya come on a dry creek bed where you was sure there was gonna be water - but there isn't any water. Your people are thirsty. All those moments of decision, Horace, those are the tough moments. You have to decide whether to cross the river at night or whether you're gonna wait till dawn... whether ya want to take the uncharted short cut or the long mountain trail that's safe... and all the time you feel that those people are lookin' at ya and waitin'. They're your people, Horace, your people... So finally, ya have to make a decision to move on and at that minute, Horace, you pray that Almighty God is close to your hand when you make that decision.
