Two scumbag land developers hire English boxing champion Thomas Cromwell to dispose of Daniel in a prizefight so they can buy up Boonesborough property.
The character of Thomas Cromwell appears to be loosely based on Tom Cribb, a British bare knuckle boxer who was recognized as the unofficial champion of the world during the early 1800's. [edit]
Murchison: Mr. Boone, I find you a very difficult man to deal with. Daniel: I don't aim to be difficult, Mr. Murchison. I just don't wanna sell my property. [edit]
Daniel: I know what to do with that land. I wouldn't know what to do with that money. [edit]
Cincinnatus (to Cromwell): Havin' a little liquor handy when them fellas come to get paid off ain't gonna hurt my business none. [edit]
