How It All Goes Down
- Captain Henry hasn't been seen outside of his quarters since "the Crow stole back the horses" and Bridger is unsure whether to go inside (2.28.1).
- Bridger finally works up the courage and finds Henry looking Howard Hughes-levels of insane. Henry announces that they're broke.
- Bridger has a suggestion: he wants to join a group of men who are trapping at Big Horn.
- Henry scoffs at first but quickly realizes that the kid is being serious. He even finds himself admiring the Bridger's "youthful optimism" (2.28.17).
- Finally, Henry agrees. Joyous, Bridger bursts outside and looks longingly towards the Big Horn Mountains.
