- 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
Not 1883, more like 2023
This show supposedly takes place 140 years ago, that much I can accept and I really like the show. But I don't like at all is the attempt by the writers to bring this show up-to-date with modern times.
Children, no matter if they were 18 or not, would never ever in their whole lives, have even dared to think of speaking to their parents in the way that Elsa spoke to her mother in this episode. The children would never even consider the idea of treating their father (especially if they are folded, is one like Tim McGraw's character) the way that Elsa supposedly three turbulence 140 years ago. The blatant disrespect for parents, delegation of being an adult when you turn 18 and your parents not having a say over you anymore, and the claim to be a woman and accordingly you pick yourself up... that is all 21st century garbage and it would absolutely never have taken place in either the circumstances location or time period that the show takes place in.
I do not like when period pieces forget the period that they are setting and unfortunately for this amazing show that I dish completely forgot that this was 140 years ago. Unfortunate.
