Quotes 

• Red Hand : The governor won't listen to me.

  Jason McCord : How can the governor listen if you don't speak?

• Jason McCord : Have you ever seen an animal cry? A tear is a fact, Major. Proof. Only a human animal has a soul that can make him cry. Red Hand has proven he's a person. And now his wife and his child can stand up in any court of law and make you answer for this.

• Jason McCord : If you shoot Red Hand down, you'll be taking a shot at every Apache from here to the Pecos. You may be starting another Sand Creek massacre. Only this time, Major Lynch, the Apaches will be doing the killing. Because, whether you know it or not, there are far more Apaches in this territory than there are troopers... Seems this calls for a little more strategy and a little less frontal assault.

• Jason McCord : But, can you turn down a chance, any chance to help your own people?

• Maj. Lynch : The squaws are just as bad as the braves. Two of 'em once bushwhacked a cousin of mine and half killed him. Who cares about the squaw.

  Jason McCord : A lot of people, Major. For one thing, a few thousand Apaches are going to care.

  Maj. Lynch : Well, now, I just don't happen to be very worried about hurting their feelings.

  Jason McCord : You should be. You're not dealing with any Indian who happened to wander off the reservation. Red Hand is the chief...

  Maj. Lynch : I know who I'm dealing with.

• Judge Markham : The Courts of this country have ruled that an Indian is not a person.

  Jason McCord : Then what is he?
