Pale Rider is a 1985 American western film produced and directed by Clint Eastwood, who also stars in the lead role. The title is a reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as the rider of a pale horse is Death.
The film opens in the countryside outside the fictional town of Lahood, California, and takes place sometime in the 1870s or early 1880s (based on remarks in the film about outlawing hydraulic mining). Thugs working for big-time miner Coy LaHood ride in and destroy the camp of a group of struggling miners and their families who have settled in nearby Carbon Canyon and are panning for gold there. In leaving, they also shoot the little dog of fourteen-year-old Megan Wheeler. As Megan buries it in the woods and prays for a miracle, we see a stranger heading to the town on horseback.
Megan's mother, Sarah, is keeping company with Hull Barret, the leader of the miners. Hull heads off into town to pick up supplies, where the same thugs start to beat him up and he is rescued by the stranger, who takes the men on single-handedly. Hull invites him to his house, and while Eastwood's character is washing, Hull notices what looks like six bullet wounds to his back. Shortly after, he appears wearing a clerical collar and thereafter is called Preacher.

A mysterious preacher protects a humble prospector village from a greedy mining company trying to encroach on their land.
A bit of info in regard to Axe Handles & Axe Heads of the 17 & 1800 era+, includes Pick Axes. (Especially relevent for those "few" that think they know, but know so little :). *Hickory wood is very hard, stiff, dense and shock resistant. Typically Hickory in the US and Ash in Europe. *These handles fit a multitude of metal axe heads, single and double sided with round bores or "Slip-fit eye" used in the 1800's+. The axe head is fitted by sliding it down the handle towards the tapered enlarged end where it is secured and is vertually impossible to "fly off" when swung. There are numerous other axes with bores of the retangular shape or of the type "Wedge eye". Both have their strengths and weaknesses. **Slip-fit eye: Easier to remove the head from the handle in cases of breakage, for use ...
A nameless stranger who rides into a small California gold rush town finds himself in the middle of a feud between a mining syndicate and a group of independent prospectors.

From Pale Rider, the Preacher reveals himself
classic scene from the Eastwood western "Pale Rider" one of my all time favorite Eastwood films. Kiel was a huge mother i read he was about 7'2' that's taller than Shaq!
From outer space he came to this world
To conquer and rule - nothing is safe
To suck it out like a spider a fly
By his mental strength he controls
The mankind and gave religion
But their gods are so far away
[Bridge:]
It doesn't matter how many will die
It doesn't matter how many will cry
[Ref:]
He is the Pale - Pale rider
The bringer of death, suffer and pain
Pale - Pale rider
The lord of destruction is his name
Behind the clouds their lives a tribe
In a cold world where all life will die
They wait for - for the helping hands
All treasure he found here on this earth
And at other planets he robbed too
In thousands of years of his endless pain
I am the Pale rider searching for superiority
The world where I live is like hell so dark
All hate around me I can understand
