Marcia Rodd: Captain Estelle Slater

Quotes 

• Captain Slater : I've been fightin' the Indians since I was twelve. Lost my parents in a raid, had no place to go after that, so I cut my hair short and joined the Union army. Even fought with General Grant before he fell into politics. I imagine if I hadn't been wounded, they might never have found out; I'd be a full colonel now. You should have seeen that army doctor's face.

• Bret Maverick : So I think that a person like you would be just the one to break her into freedom gently, sort of one step at a time.

  Captain Slater : I don't know. I tamed my share of wild ones; can't say that I ever turned a tame one wild.
