Previously, whenever there was a dance while the wagon train is circled up for the night, everyone just dances on the ground. This time, the supply wagon has spare wood to make a dance floor that they put together and take apart when the part mood hits them.
During one of Ben's narrated flashbacks, as Ben is walking toward the front of the house, a horse and rider pass between him and the camera, and the shadow of the camera is seen on the horse.
As Harry Deal is talking quietly to Charlie, Bill and a couple other men about how he went to the war as Ben's substitute, suddenly many people, who were no where in sight, start wandering into the group to listen in and comment. This is a recurring theme throughout the series.
