-The Searchers- (1956)

[Canyon Scene/"Lucy"

LATE AFTERNOON

The three riders come to where the trail they have been
following forks...the main horse print track leading ahead,
a lesser track heading for a narrow gap between two buttes.

MARTIN:
"Four of 'em cut out here...Why?"

Ethan thinks he knows why. His face is bleak. But he tries
to be casual.

ETHAN:
"I'll take a look...You keep after the others..."

He turns his mount toward the gap.

MARTIN:
(eagerly)
"You want us to fire a shot if..."

ETHAN:
(disgustedly)
"No...nor build bonfires...nor beat drums neither. I'll meet you on the far side. Move!"

Ethan's serape---"Johnny Reb coat" is tied behind his saddle.

---------

NEAR BUTTE - TWILIGHT

Ethan turns, almost startled, as the two youths ride in.

His serape is no longer behind his saddle.]

Stars, Bars & Stripes...

"In a ceremony freighted with symbolism, survivors of Pickett's division marched to the stone wall on Cemetery Ridge and shook hands with the very men in blue who had tried so hard to kill them fifty years earlier."

---------

"The Shaw Memorial was unveiled on May 31, 1897, amid a great ceremony. Among the speakers was Booker T. Washington, the president of Tuskegee Institute, who declared that his heart went out "to those who wore gray as well as to those clothed in blue...." More eloquent than any speech, though, was the moment when Sergeant William H. Carney, who had won a Medal of Honor for saving the 54th's national flag at Fort Wagner, came forward bearing the standard once more.

"In dramatic effect, I have never seen or experienced anything which equaled this," wrote Washington. "For a number of minutes the audience seemed to entirely lose control of itself."

The dreams of David Guy...

Posted at Updated:
 

"I've often wondered if he stays for the game. It's a crazy thought: the whole thing, after all, is a dream. But it does seem real, and I've often wondered if finally, in those dreams, I get a chance to play football for my father. I don't think I'll ever know. For one thing, as I've said, the game is always at night, so, as in that first varsity game I ever played---the one game, perhaps, when I was most content---the stands are all a darkness, bright lights, glaring down. But there is another reason that question will never be answered. For in those recurrent dreams I often see the teams on the field, the warm-up drills have sometimes taken place, the players gathered to line up for the kick---still I am racing around, searching for some trivial thing---but in those dreams of a frustrating search, a task I am never ready for, in those dreams of the night, my football dreams, the one thing that is always the same is that the game never begins."

We're less than a fortnight away from the anniversary of his death.

---------

"His truth is marching on."

"So hush little baby, don't you cry

You know your daddy's bound to die

But all my trials, Lord, soon be over
"

July 14th, 1973 via satellite from Honolulu:

"Elvis Presley, focused, tireless thru 25 cuts before the
penultimate tribute to the Southland. The fierce melding of the negro spiritual, and the sacred anthem of the Confederacy, driven excitedly by Julia Ward Howe's Battle Hymn of the Republic. Presley, foreshadowing his own demise All My Trials leading in to the solo of Dixie by the flutist, who nervously delivers his work under the impatient stare of Presley. Presley, angrily imploring Tutt, the drummer before finally commanding J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet to initiate their haunting wail to the South, while Presley himself takes this American Trilogy on into the ages.
"

The 30th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death is August 16th."
