Strategy and tips:
The real pain in this one isn't getting the gold objectives, although the time is tight, but rather Dutch an Micah's annoying propensity to die. When you combine that with the fact it's easy to miss the time or the headshots needed, this is incredibly frustrating, especially as you have to do a 7 minute long scripted sequence every time. These tips will help you have the best chance:
1) At 7:04 when the action starts, Dutch will probably kill one of the bad guys for you, so get a couple on the boat and start retreated, aiming at the Pinkertons coming in behind you. Keep moving and only stop to target bad guys who have a direct line of sight at you and are an obvious threat.
2) At 7:35 when you reach the mining company building, kill the two guys above asap. This will caused Micah to exit and allow you to advance to the next section, head up the stairs immediately if there are no threats blocking the way, otherwise eliminate them as quick as you can.
3) At 8:02, rush past Micah, don't wait for him to talk, and go inside, kill one guy to the right and head up the stairs. The pump action shotgun with slug ammo works best here - thanks to Petko at GTA Forums for recommending this. This interior section is tricky. You must move quickly because of the time limit, but if you rush ahead of Dutch and Micah and haven't killed all the bad guys, it is likely one of them will die and cause you to fail. So you must kill everyone you see, and quickly. When you reach the open air ramp, switch to a repeater or rifle and get the guys to your left. Also use dead eye to pick out the last bad guys in the second interior section as they can be hard to spot, and are also threats to Dutch and Micah.
4) At 8:58 shoot the fuel barrel to speed this section up. Then be sure to kill any close by bad guys quickly. Head to the horses the moment you are prompted to.
5) Getting 3 headshots on mounted enemies in the last section would be easy, except Dutch and Micah now turn from being useless liabilities who will die instantly, into invulnerable killing machines. The danger is if you are not quick they will get the few horsemen in this section before you do. Make sure you save your Dead Eye for this section or have a couple of tonics in reserves. If you have plenty of tonics, use Dead Eye frequently however as it will make it easier to get quick kills.
