Quotes:

John Dunbar: The strangeness of this life cannot be measured: in trying to produce my own death, I was elevated to the status of a living hero.

Ten Bears: [in Lakota; subtitled] Let us smoke a while.::John Dunbar: [voiceover] With Ten Bears, it was always more than a while. There was purpose in everything he did, and I knew he wanted me to stay. But I was sure of myself. I would be an excuse, and that's all the Army would need to find this place. I pushed him as far as I could to move the camp. But in the end, he only smiled and talked of simple pleasures. He reminded me that at his age, a good fire was better than anything. Ten Bears was an extraordinary man.

Sgt. Bauer: [to Dunbar] Turned injun, didn't yeh?

Kicking Bird: [in Lakota; subtitled] I was just thinking that of all the trails in this life there is one that matters most. It is the trail of a true human being. I think you are on this trail and it is good to see.

John Dunbar: [in Lakota; subtitled] We are trying for a baby.::Kicking Bird: [in Lakota] No waiting?::John Dunbar: [in Lakota] No waiting.::Kicking Bird: [in Lakota] I was just thinking that of all the trails in this life, there are some that matter most. It is the trail of a true human being. I think you are on this trail, and it is good to see.

Kicking Bird: [in Lakota; addressing the village counsel] He may be a special man or even a god. I ask that Chief Ten Bears give us permission to talk with him.::[murmurs around the council as Wind in his Hair rises to speak]::Wind In His Hair: [in Lakota; subtitled] I do not care for this talk about a white man at the soldier fort. Who ever he is he is not a Sioux and that makes him less. We took more then a hundred horses from these people and there was no honor in it. They don't ride well. They don't shoot well. They're dirty. Those so-called "soldiers" could not make it through one winter in our country. And all these people are said to flurish? I think they will all be dead soon... maybe in ten years.::[murmurs circulate around the council]::Wind In His Hair: [in Lakota] I think this fool is probally lost.::[the councel laughs as Wind in his Hair sits back down and Kicking Bird raises his right hand as a call for silence]::Kicking Bird: [in Lakota; subtitled] Wind in his Hair has spoken and his words are strong. It is true that the whites are a poor race and it is hard to understand them. But make no mistake, the whites are coming. Even our enemies agree on this. But when I see one white man alone and without fear in our country, I do not think he is lost. I think he may have medicine. I think this is a man who will speak for all white people. I think this is a man from which treaties may be struck.::[the councel murmers and nods in agreement until Wind in his Hair rises to speak again]::Wind In His Hair: [in Lakota; subtitled] Kicking Bird is always looking ahead and while that is good, he dosen't know this lone white man. This white man cannot hunt, cover our lodges, or feed our children. He is nothing to us! I will take some warriors with me and we will shoot some arrows into the white man. If he truly has medicine, he will not be hurt. If he has no medicine, he will be dead.::[more murmurs are heard as Wind in his Hair sits back down as Stone Calf rises to speak]::Stone Calf: [in Lakota; subtitled] No man on the council can tell another man what to do. But killing a white man is a delicate business. If you kill one, more are sure to come.::Ten Bears: [in Lakota; subtitled] It's easy to become confused by these questions. Before we take action we need to talk about this some more at another time. That is all I have to say. This council is dismissed.

Stands With a Fist: My place is with you. I go where you go.

John Dunbar: Dunbar, not Dumb Bear.

Major Fambrough: You wish to see the frontier?::John Dunbar: Yes sir, before it's gone.

[Dunbar has found an old skeleton on the prairie]::Timmons: I'll bet someone back east is going, "Now why don't he write?"

Plot: Highly fictionalized account (see the IMDB 'goofs' for examples) of the life of George Armstrong Custer from his arrival at West Point in 1857 to his death at the battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876. He has little discipline at the academy but is prepared to stand up to the senior cadet, Ned Sharp, who makes his life miserable. While there he catches the eye of the commandant, Col. (later General) Phil Sheridan and also meets his future bride, Elizabeth Bacon. Graduating early due to the Civil War, it is only through a chance meeting with General Winfield Scott that he finally gets assigned to a cavalry regiment. He served with distinction during the war and when he is promoted to Brigadier General in error, he leads his troops in a decisive victory. He has little to do after the war turning down lucrative positions in private industry and it's his wife who arranges with Gen. Scott for him to be appointed a Lt. Colonel and given command of the 7th Cavalry. He is depicted as a friend of the Indians who will fight for injustice, in the form of his old nemesis Ned Sharp who is taking advantage of them and trying to provoke a war with his own financial gain in mind. Custer died in the the now famous battle on June 25, 1876 at the age of 36.

Quotes:

Ned Sharp: Where is the regiment riding?::George Armstrong Custer: To hell, Sharp... or to glory. It depends on one's point of view.

George Armstrong Custer: You may be right about money, Sharp; quite right. But there's one thing to be said for glory.::Ned Sharp: Yeah? What's that?::George Armstrong Custer: You can take glory with you when it's your time to go.

George Armstrong Custer: [on his cadet uniform] I must get myself a tigerskin as soon as possible.

[California Joe is struck by an arrow at the battle of Little Bighorn and dying]::California Joe: Ya dirty yella-bellied!... awhh, it looks like I'll never git ta...

George Armstrong Custer: Walking through life with you, ma'am, has been a very gracious thing.

[Custer barely misses being dismissed from West Point for fighting]::Gen. Phil Sheridan: You know, Taipe, I'm glad it turned out this way. There's something about that fellow I like.::Maj. Romulus Taipe: Yeah? Well I don't know what it is. If you ask me, he'll make the worst record of any cadet at West Point since Ulysses S. Grant.

[after they first meet, Custer walks Miss Bacon to Gen.

[California Joe is driving the wagon in which Libby is riding on the trek to Fort Lincoln]::California Joe: [to one of the horses] Move over there, sweetheart, 'fore I cut the rest of your tail off!::Elizabeth Bacon: [she looks at him, shocked] I beg your pardon.::California Joe: I said move over, you dirty Ethiopian son of a blue-bellied Mohawk!::Elizabeth Bacon: You mean the horse.

[Custer addresses the officers after his arrival at Fort Lincoln]::George Armstrong Custer: We're responsible for the protection of 100,000 square miles of territory. And against us are ranged thousands of the finest light cavalry on earth. I found that out this morning. It's a big job, gentlemen... and it's gonna need a fine regiment. Our job is to make this the finest regiment that the United States ever saw. I needn't tell most of you that a regiment is something more than just six hundred disciplined fighting men. Men die. But a regiment lives on; because a regiment has an immortal soul of its own. Well, the way to begin is to find it. To find something that belongs to us alone. Something to give us that pride in ourselves that'll make men endure - and, if necessary, die... with their boots on. As for the rest it's easy: since it's no more than hard work, hard riding and hard fighting. Thank you, gentlemen, I know I can count on you.

Ned Sharp: If the other outfits don't fight their way through, you're liable to have a lot of Sioux on your hands.::George Armstrong Custer: Yes. Yes, quite a lot of Sioux, Sharp. But the greater the odds, the greater the glory.

Plot: This entry in Republic's "Three Mesquiteer" series, that skipped back forth in time much like Brick Bradford in his "Time Top" machine, finds the Mesquiteers, Stony Brooke, Rusty Joslin and Rico, intervening when an 1870's wagon train of settlers, headed by Dr. Bailey, is attacked by Indians. The wagon train leader is killed and the Mesquiteers agree to guide the settlers to their destination. Bailey and his daughter Anna and the other settlers have been lured westward by offers of cheap land. Arriving, they find that the land sold them by Judge Platt and Sheriff Gorman is practically worthless, but through hard labor and courage they manage to clear it and have reached the point where they are about to make a fair living when they are beset by exorbitant taxes. Judge Platt and his cronies have information that a railroad is to be run through the territory, and they plan to break the settlers by high taxes, regain the land at forced sales, and sell it to the railroad. The Mesquiteers arrange for a cattle sale in order to pay the taxes but Platt and his henchmen, led by Steve Carson, contrive to rob the Mesquiteers as they return from Omaha, and make it appear that the Mesquiteers took the funds and made up the hold-up story. But Stony, in the guise of the Masked Rider (a plot device much favored in the Mesquiteer films with Livingston following his essay of the title role in "The Lone Ranger Rides Again" serial), and his two friends begin a campaign to end the activities of Platt and his gang.
