    • Trivia
      There is a famous painting on the church wall, "The Angelus" (French: L'Angélus). It's an oil painting by the French painter Jean-François Millet, completed between 1857 and 1859. But it couldn't have been the original painting because at the time of this episode, 1890-1909, it was in the private collection of Alfred Chauchard in Paris, so it must've been a print. The original painting is now in the permanent collection of musée d'Orsay, Paris, since 1986.
    • Goofs
      In the opening recap, narrator David Janssen describes Lame Beaver as an "Arapaho chief", when it's been repeated a number of times that Lame Beaver was not a chief, nor did he want to be called a chief.
    • Quotes

      Oliver Seccombe: Ah Levi. Perhaps we weren't so different after all. You could never leave this place. It's a lovely land.
