He has fully recovered when the train pulls into a fort to stock up on supplies. It is there that the leaders of the train meet Morton Harper, a smooth-talking man who persuades them to take an easier trail that will allow them to escape an attack by Indians.

Either way, and probably both, it will mean war, and a war the pioneers will undoubtedly lose ER -
