Season 3 Trivia

  • Episode 21 - The Tom Tuckett Story is a wild west retelling of Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations", except that the names have been changed along with the locale. Pip becomes Tuck, Estella is called Elizabeth, and Miss Havisham is now Miss Stevenson. The Convict has become wealthy through fur-trading in Canada
  • Episode 29 - Goof (continuity error): When Charley and Bill are stetting up the tables for the court room, bill sets down and puts his feet up on the desk. In one angle both feet are on the edge. But at the other angle his left foot is propped on his spur.
  • Episode 02 - Goof (anachronisms): The reference by Samuel T. Evans (Mickey Rooney) to the Boer War seems premature since the first Boer War wasn't fought till 1880 -- several years after the time of this particular wagon train.
  • Episode 06 - Goof (continuity error): When Flint is shot at after returning to the fort, his knife is in his sheath. When he is shown going up the stairs to where Martha is, there is no knife in his sheath (he has his pistol out at this point, not his knife). When he gets to the top, the knife has re-appeared.
  • Episode 04 - Goof (factual errors): The correct spelling is Esteban.
