The journey had taken 98 days from St. Louis.

I had come by riverboat up the Missouri, the little stern wheeler climbing, churning, scuttling over 2,000 miles of sandbar and rapid, then into the lonely wastes of another, swifter stream, the Yellowstone, until we finally docked at South Sunday in Montana Territory.

Music was composed and conducted by Jerry Goldsmith.
