    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Anson Mount played the video game Red Dead Redemption (2010) for about a month before his audition, and he has been often told that his character bears resemblance to John Marston, the protagonist of the game.
    • Goofs
      A lot of characters in the series use Remington 1858 New Army revolvers, however almost all of them have brass frames. The 1858 Remington was never made with brass frames, only modern unofficial replicas of the 1858 Remington have brass frames.
