Saras wearing fashionable clothes.
Devin sports a leg brace and totes a well-read copy ofOliver Twist.
Sara looks the part of an out-of-place city woman and has the nervous demeanor to match.
But shes also a bit of a mystery.
She knows what she wants and, pointedly, what she has paid for and plans to get it.
But the frontier has other plans.
At Fort Bridger, Sara expects to find the docile, peaceful trading post Frye has promised.
Frye offers to take them the rest of the way, an offer Sara is reluctant to take.

The actual event thats come to be known as the Mountain Meadows Massacre took several days.
Its a reunion with Explosions in the Sky, too.
The instrumental rock band wrote the score to Bergs film and the series featured its music on occasion.
When Devin asks Bridger, How do you get a fort like this?
