Perry Lopez: James Evans

Quotes 

• [raiders attack a Cherokee village while a U.S. army detachment does nothing to prevent them from burning the Indians' teepees] 

  Col. Tryker : The only way you're going to stop this sort of thing is for your people to move off of these lands.

  James Evans : You've got the chief's answer to that.

  Col. Tryker : Yes. Yes I have, but I also have my orders and I can't wait any longer. I'm riding out tomorrow to make arrangements for the tribe to be taken to a new Indian territory. I'll be back in a week. I hope by that time you'll have made up your minds to go peacefully.

  James Evans : We will not move.

  Col. Tryker : They tell me you're an educated man. I hope you realize there isn't any thing you or your tribe can do about this.

  James Evans : We can die.
