| People do not give it credence
that a young girl could leave home |
00:01:17.995 - 00:01:20.987 |
| and go off in the wintertime
to avenge her father's blood. |
00:01:21.123 - 00:01:24.115 |
| But it did happen. |
00:01:24.209 - 00:01:26.495 |
| I was just 14 years of age when
a coward by the name of Tom Chaney |
00:01:26.628 - 00:01:30.166 |
| shot my father down |
00:01:30.299 - 00:01:31.835 |
| and robbed him of his life and his horse |
00:01:31.967 - 00:01:34.379 |
| and two California gold pieces
that he carried in his trouser band. |
00:01:34.511 - 00:01:38.345 |
| Chaney was a hired man |
00:01:39.516 - 00:01:41.177 |
| and Papa had taken him
up to Fort Smith |
00:01:41.310 - 00:01:43.266 |
| to help lead back a string of
Mustang ponies he'd bought. |
00:01:43.353 - 00:01:46.516 |
| In town,
Chaney had fallen to drink and cards |
00:01:46.815 - 00:01:51.024 |
| and lost all his money. |
00:01:51.361 - 00:01:53.352 |
| He got it into his head
he was being cheated |
00:01:53.822 - 00:01:56.188 |
| and went back to the boarding house
for his Henry rifle. |
00:01:56.325 - 00:01:59.533 |
| When Papa tried to intervene,
Chaney shot him. |
00:01:59.661 - 00:02:03.495 |
| Chaney fled. |
00:02:05.417 - 00:02:06.873 |
| He could have walked his horse, |
00:02:10.672 - 00:02:12.378 |
| for not a soul in that city
could be bothered to give chase. |
00:02:12.507 - 00:02:16.216 |
| No doubt Chaney fancied himself
scot-free. |
00:02:17.971 - 00:02:20.804 |
| But he was wrong. |
00:02:22.726 - 00:02:24.387 |
| You must pay for everything
in this world, one way and another. |
00:02:24.728 - 00:02:28.220 |
