    • Trivia
      In March 1860, Abraham brought his wife, five daughters, two sons-in-law, and grandson to Carson City; he also had a grown son who had come to Nevada with Abraham. In this episode, Elvira is six years old (the actress was nine), but in reality, she was married with a child.
    • Goofs
      Abraham tells Elvira there are 39 states. However, Nevada was the 36th state, admitted in October 1864. States 39 through 42 were admitted in November 1889 (16 years after his death).
