Retired Outlaw: Bill 'Ham' Hammond used to be a member of the Bishop Boys. He fell in love with Jane when the gang was transporting her and the other women they had kidnapped to the town where John Bishop was setting up a brothel. When Bishop refused to let Ham marry her, Ham rescued her from from the brothel—killing four other gang members in the process—and ran off with her. The married and set up a farm in remote New Mexico, and had a child together. The film starts with the Bishop Boys catching up with Ham again.

Someone to Remember Him By: After Dan left to enlist, Jane discovered she was pregnant. When Dan did not return or write, she assumed he was dead, and life in Jane's war-torn town had become so wretched that she decided to take her daughter Mary and move West on the Bishop wagon train.

Man on Fire: The Bishop gang finally arrive at Jane's house under cover of darkness and riddle the house with bullets. Dan and Jane fire into the booby-trapped ditch, igniting the kerosene "bombs". Most of the gang are killed; going up like human candles.

Shown Their Work: The film goes to some effort only use firearms available in the year it is set, 1871, meaning that there are no Colt SAAs (Peacemakers) as these didn't enter production until 1873. Instead the film features several guns seldom seen in westerns, including the Colt Walker, the Colt 1860 Army, the Starr 1858 Army, a Remington 1858, and a Henry 1860 rifle.
