- TriviaThe town marshal of Abilene in 1870 was Tom "Big Bear" Smith, who was murdered and decapitated on 11/2/1870. He wounded one of his two murderers, who were caught and served a life term. His successor was famed lawman 'Wild Bill' Hickok in 1871.
- GoofsAlthough 400 homesteaders build houses and fences out of wood, it is never explained where the wood comes from. The land looks arid, and the only trees seem to be in town, where there is no millwork.

Featured review
A righteous sheriff finds himself in the pinch when there is hostility against homesteaders. He urges his fellow villagers to choose sides and to help him end the conflict.
Decent old-school western. Every cliché is there: from the fierce shootouts to the merry can-can dancers; from the stubborn but righteous sheriff to the crooks stirring up things in town. It's not as harsh as we're used to since Sergio Leone and Sam Peckinah and the boundary between right and wrong is pretty clear from the start. But I liked it as a fan of the western. It's not a classic in any way, but still a decent flick to see if you like the genre.
