This morning, I seen part of a TV rerun episode of "Dr Quinn Medicine Woman."
I was channel surfing and only stopped to watch a bit, because one character looked like Johnny Cash.
Sure enough it was Johnny Cash. He was part of a group of unarmed white folks that were being chased by Indians. They took cover in a small building at a stage coach stop in the middle of no where. The Indians were shooting (leverguns) at them from up on a Hill. Some shots went through the wooden door. Then one lone Indian charges down the hill towards the building. One of the white fellas had a tomahawk that looked more like a shingling hammer. Johnny had some pistol cartridges, but no gun (maybe he lost it earlier in the show?)
.
Johnny grabs the the tomahawk from his friend, then says, "everyone step back, there might be some splinters." Johnny puts two cartridges in two different bullet holes in the door. He taps one, it goes off, no splinters, but you hear a ricochet as the camera zoomed in on the charging Indian. Johnny taps the second cartridge, again no splitters, and the Indian goes down, he was at least 50 feet from the door. The Indian gets back up, and badly limps back up the hill.
