Trivia
It is winter when Pasquinel and McKeag return to the Arapaho camp after Lame Beaver's death. McKeag wears a plaid-lined and trimmed coat hinting at his Scottish roots.

Goofs
During the "Only the Rocks Live Forever" episode - Lame Beaver and his tribe are migrating across the prairie. One of the Indian braves who is walking behind Lame Beaver has three tennis balls in hands and is juggling them as he walks. Native Americans would not have had tennis balls in the year 1795.

Quotes
[last lines]
Paul Garrett: [voiceover narration] But McKeag began to wonder how much the Indians had really known about Pasquinel. Did they confuse courage with honor? Still the young Scot could not leave the only friend he'd ever known, and the only woman he'd ever wanted. He only knew one thing for certain. It would be a hard winter.
