Quotes 

• Cyrus K. Holliday : Kit, once when you were about this high, Tex and Windy brought home a wolf cub with a broken back. You nursed it for weeks, but it finally died with his head in your lap. You cried for days. But it was just a wolf cub. And it probably would have grown up to be a killer like its father.

• Cyrus K. Holliday : I thought two years in Boston would make a lady out of you.

  Kit Carson Holliday : So did I. It just popped out.

• Cyrus K. Holliday : This is what they mean when call it bloody Kansas. There'll never be any peace along the Santa Fe Trail while John Brown or any of his followers are alive.

• Kit Carson Holliday : Ninety eight tons of freight ready to roll and no orders for loading. How did you run this business while I was away?

  Cyrus K. Holliday : That's why I sent you away to show you what a skirt was. Look at your clothes, look at the grease on your nose. What would your friends in Boston think of you now?

  Kit Carson Holliday : Frankly, dad, I don't much care.

• Cyrus K. Holliday : Yep! The end of John Brown was our beginning.
