Burying the dead at Wounded Knee.

“The boys want to see you!”

“A Texas Ranger doesn’t take cover!”

“But Old Blue helped quiet down the cattle by tramping up and down, clanging his big brass bell.”

“Have the men dismount and proceed on foot!”

I played like 99% percent of Redemption (except the final scene). :D I’m not the best at video games so I had it on like super extra dummy mode, but I really liked the atmosphere and characters and getting up in the middle of the virtual night to ride around and look at the stars. 

Thank you! I like looking at both and seeing how the perception of the western myth changes over time, but I definitely find more to take away from the actual historical materials I find. Mind you, some of the older history books need to be taken with a grain of salt too. :P 

“Let him go!”

The man behind her on Pinto’s back was pulling with all his strength on the reins. 

“Now’s out change to grab off Dan and get that stolen loot!”

“We’ll try to make the pass before dark!”

“So he made Blue the leader of the herd, and hung a big brass bell around Blue’s neck.”

“Reach, all of you!”

The Army’s Umatilla Allies.

“I also know the trails around here better than anyone else! Follow me!”

And then Roy and Trigger headed on, out over the trail.
