River boatmen and frontier tensions on the Ohio
Morgan observes riverboatmen known as alligator horses as they sleep and work beside militiamen. Tobe Ansley and Kirby discuss impending Indian threats and warlike tribes while Will Morgan questions quiet sections of the voyage and seeks a store receipt before moving on. The men debate who will strike first and the frontier’s danger intensifies along the river.
