After that awful second winter,
1:18:02
I traded pelts for goods and animals and
headed to california to find my family.
1:18:08
I inquired after them in every
mission and every farm house,
1:18:11
every town, every stranger along the road.
1:18:13

redeem the hope in the eyes of my children,
1:18:18

War broke out between my country and mexico.
1:18:28
While looking for my
family, I got caught up in a

I fell in with captain john fremont
and his bear flag volunteers.
1:18:39
We saw no action to brag about as

1:18:44
When it was over, america
had acquired Texas,
1:18:47
california, and the southwest,
but I lost everything.
1:18:59
Ma'am, I'm captain fremont,
and these are my volunteers.
