• Samuel Dickens : Well, a momentous day. The first herd into Denver. Do you kow what that really means, Mr. Longley?

  Bill Longley : I think so - at least what it means to us.

  Samuel Dickens : What's that?

  Bill Longley : A hundred days on the trail from the Panhandle to Denver. I had to find feed and water each day, ford the Arkansas and the Big Sandy in flood, head off stampedes... Some of the trails went up to 4000 - straight down. Rough all the way, Mr. Dickens.
