through cactus laden valleys,
jackrabbit spotted on the ground and vultures fly overhead
cattle graze on that sweet sweet hillside grass
We gather around a campfire and tell stories about the gold claim that never was
lay back on you saddle blankets, pull your hat over you eyes and fall asleep under the moonlight dreaming about nothing except the countryside you grew up on
waking up early in the morning, hooking the oxen up to the wagon and hitting the trail before noon.
Sarah, bless her heart, Sarah comes down with dysentery, and she breaks a leg. A cattle runs free and we spend an entire day looking for it but it can never go back to domesticated life even if we find it.
Sarah passes away from dysentery, bless her heart, and we have to bury her. We erect a gravestone that reads 'Here lies Sarah, she died of dysentery...
lol, that's super diarrhea'
She would have wanted it that way.
But on the upside we can finally up our meal rations to full and live like kings all the way to Oregon.

The version offered by GamesNostalgia is the 1992 version, officially released for Windows3.1 but actually working on MS-DOS. This version offers much better graphics compared to the original MS-DOS version of 1990.
