This was the last episode to be filmed at Desilu Studios.
The title is based on the book 'Drums Along the Mohawk' by Walter D. Edmonds.
Near the beginning Carter, who is part Sioux, reveals that his Indian name is 'Little Deer Who Goes Swift and Sure Through Forest'.
When Carter accidentally shot the arrow in the barracks towards Hogan, the arrow he shot, is clearly not the same one that struck the wall near Hogan.
