Anecdotes
Actor Charles Buchinsky (his birth name) changed his name to Charles Bronson, using his new moniker for the first time in this film, and remained so for the rest of his acting career.

Gaffes
President Grant is shown wearing his Army uniform in the White House. This is inaccurate as General Grant resigned his commission in 1869.

Citations
Dr. Thomas: Don't you feel like a murderer?
Johnny MacKay: No, sir.
Dr. Thomas: Shouldn't you?
Johnny MacKay: I've never shot anyone without cause. My job is to protect the wagon train. When somebody shoots at my people, I shoot back.

Geographically/Geologically Inaccurate

This is based on true facts, but since the Modocs were never in Arizona, i found the scenery comical. If you do a search for, 'Canby's Cross', it takes you to the north end of California, about 12 miles south of the Oregon border. In the 'Lava Beds National Monument.'

Canby's Cross is a monument erected on the site of the killings, to honor the men lost. On the cross, is inscribed, "Gen Canby USA was murdered here by the Modocs April 11, 1873"

The real Canby was shot in the face. In the movie, it appeared they kept that detail, as you see him clutch his face after the second shot.
