    • Quotes

      Jude Pilchuk, Spraque's Partner: [philisophically] Ah, well, being in love ain't going to hurt him. Ain't no harm in that. It's getting hitched is where the trouble begins.

    • Crazy credits
      Opening card: In the fall of 1874 there occurred one of those wild rushes for sudden wealth that have characterized the American West. This time it was the lure of buffalo hides, for which a rich commercial market had been developed. The White Man again invaded Indian territory and ruthlessly slaughtered the buffalo herds of the Red Man. Outfitting and shipping depots sprang up at strategic points. Of these, the most remote - deep in the buffalo country - was Sprague's trading post. Zane Grey

    Stampede Scenes
    The stampede scenes were filmed at the Lamar Valley Buffalo Ranch in Yellowstone National Park.

    There were only 24 buffalo left in the world on 1901, so Congress appropriated funds in 1902 to prevent their extinction and the few wild buffalo in Yellowstone were gradually mixed with some ranch animals from Texas and Montana.

    The park rangers in the past would sometimes stampede the herd for movies and visitors.

    There are now 3,500..4,000 buffalo in YNP, but any that wander outside the boundaries are shot or rounded up and sent to slaughter.
