Trivia | The series was shot on the set of the John Ford western Fort Apache (1948). See more » |
Goofs | The adventures happen in the 1869-1877 period as we can see president Grant in Season 2, Episode 7. The German Shepherd is a relatively new breed of dog, with their origin dating to 1899 so the whole series is an historical mistake. See more » |
Movie Connections | Edited into Rin-Tin-Tin: Hero of the West (1991). See more » |
