Everybody in Big Kill denies knowing anybody named Grant when Jim asks around, but he is the mayor of the town. And nobody is surprised when Jim calls him Grant, so it is not as if Grant has been living there incognito or under a different name. This is never explained in the movie.

Perhaps they were protecting the head of the illegal rustled cattle crew that provides much of the town's revenue.

The Stagecoach at the beginning may be of an authentic design but its appearance is that of a modern restoration. Bright red with bright yellow wheels - it looks like it's straight out of a museum. Not at all like a "working" stagecoach of the period.

Of course it's a modern restoration. However, in the movie, it could also be a brand-new, fresh from the factory stagecoach. Artistic license.

Reference is made to the building of the railroad, making the setting in the mid-1800's, yet the saloon music playing in the background near the end of the movie is Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag," which was published in 1899.
