Buffalo Bill, Jr. Quote
[first lines] [scene depicts Custer's Last Stand]
Judge Ben 'Fair and Square' Wiley: These men fought and died for the Seventh Cavalry. They were young men - their commander, George Armstrong Custer, was 22 when he graduated from West Point, 37 when he died under the flag at the Little Big Horn. The history of the West is filled with the names of heroic men - young men, some of 'em forgotten by the dusty pages of time. But there's one young fellow who's name won't never be forgotten - not be me, anyhow, because, in a way, I named him myself. I found him after Indians had attacked a wagon train. He was a mere child at the time; parents both killed in the massacre. I found him wandering through the Black Hills, a little baby safe in his arms wrapped in a buffalo robe. The baby was his sister. I adopted the homeless Bridger kids. I named the girl "Calamity" and the boy I called "Buffalo Bill, Jr."
