Trivia
John Coffee Hays kills a man in a saloon quick draw fight. This would be an unlikely feat in real-life. It is accepted now that quick draw contests in the Old West were not common (only one is recorded in history) due to the innacurate fire produced from shooting from the hip. These Old West six-guns had rifled barrels which spun the round creating a more accurate trajectory - the flintlock pistols of the 1830s were not rifled, meaning they were ineffective beyond a few feet, as you would likely miss. What's more, in a quick draw, you cock the pistol with your thumb as you remove it from the holster, with a flintlock, you don't have a hammer. You have a large lock that holds the flint in jaws. To pull this lock back, you need to use your free hand, it is impossible to do with the thumb of your gun hand, meaning that you can't pull and fire the weapon in one motion, a necessity for quick draw.

History Channel has presented some great historically-based miniseries in the past (Hatfields & McCoys for example), but Texas Rising is not a good example and it's not even interesting. I can hardly watch it...boring, bad acting, bad dialog and accents, even fake-looking "Texas" scenery. When previews began, I could not wait to watch this series, but I felt as though this series was thrown together to meet some kind of internal deadline. Most of the characters are unsympathetic and rigid. The only redeeming aspect to this series and the reason I rated it a 5 and not a 1 is the deliciously evil performance of Ray Liotta. Let's hope the next "History Channel Presents" is better than this one.
