Retired cavalryman Sgt. Robert Connor meets Fredrick Remington in San Antonio, Texas in 1905. At dinner with Remington, Remington asks Connor about his days in the cavalry during the Indian wars in Texas. Sgt. Connor speaks about two emotional events which he has kept to himself for over thirty years– the fight with the Comanche on the Llano River over stolen horses and cattle and his love for his Comanche bride, Quiet Moon, whom he met when she and some braves attacked him on patrol near Fort Concho, Texas. Sgt. Connor blamed the post doctor, Major Stewart for Quiet Moon’s death and swore he would kill him if the opportunity presented itself. Major Stewart led the fight on the Llano River.
