- TriviaRiding an unbroken horse into water is a known but dangerous way to try and break them. Sometimes a horse will roll to get the rider off. Working cowboy Carl "Bigun" Bradley, "The Marlboro Man" from 1963 to 1970, was killed in this manner.
- GoofsElsa's mother says that she worked a sharecropper's farm and was pregnant with Elsa while James rotted in prison, but in "Behind Us, a Cliff" Elsa had stated that 18 years ago Lee had surrendered to Grant at Appomattox (1865) and that "a year later, I was born", making her birth date April 9, 1866. James was released from prison in 1865 (as earlier stated, he was imprisoned in 1862 after Antietam and spent 3 years in prison). She could not have been pregnant with Elsa in those 3 years. The only way her statement is even half-true is that she worked the farm 1863-1866, part of which he was in prison and part of which she was pregnant, but as a whole, her phrasing cannot be truthful.
Featured review
Beware of the Elsa haters.
Elsa's character narrates this show in the most beautiful, yet naive way possible. She's telling the story through a teenage girls eyes and seeing her parents and the world in general in an entirely new light that she's never experienced. Does she fall in love easily like every teenage girl? Yes. But to compare this show to something like Twilight is so insulting. Honestly, I don't even like westerns and rolled my eyes anytime my dad was watching one that I considered boring but this one had me hooked from episode one. If you're someone looking for the typical, mind numbing western where it's all about gun fights, train robbery's and screwing women for a few after getting drunk in a stereotypical saloon, go watch Tombstone for the 100th time. If you're looking for something with beautiful dialogue, scenery, deeper relationships and point of view, you should give this show a chance. Don't let the haters with no depth steer you away.
