"Wagon Train" The Greenhorn Story (TV Episode 1959) - Ward Bond as Major Seth Adams

Samuel T. Evans : We're taking the printing press right along with us. My grandfather took the printing press out to Pennsylvania by covered wagon when that was just a wild country. Now Aunt Em and I plan on taking it to a new frontier.

Major Seth Adams : You know a printing press is pretty heavy to haul on a wagon that distance. Maybe I better have a look at it for you.

Samuel T. Evans : Oh, no, Major, we don't have to take up your time to do that. I called on some experts and they told me what to do with it.

Major Seth Adams : Ah, the experts that have never been West.
Major Seth Adams : Hey, Evans, what are you fixing to do? Put those horses in a circus?

Bill Hawks : [after the laughing Major has ridden off] Hey Evans, what're you doing? Hooking up a chariot or a wagon?
Major Seth Adams : There's always a challenge to come, over the next hill, 'round the next bend. Some new trial, some unexpected adversity.
Major Seth Adams : This is St Louis. To many people it's the gateway to the West. They crowd in here by train, by train, by steamboat. Thet are here to embark on the adventure of their lives. They're in search of a future, the golden future of the West. They're tall, they're short. They're fat and they're thin. But the first few weeks they're with us, they all have one thing in common, they're all Greenhorns. There's always one that stands out from the rest, one whose face you'll remember, no matter how many you forget.
