Now, the acting isn't bad, and the plot is even ok. But the writing and historical inaccuracies infuriate me. He's like 50 in 1870 but went off to war a young man? He grew up in Wyoming, that basically wasn't settled in 1860? The railroad hasn't come through yet, despite passing through Laramie 2 years before the movie could have been set? He uses a Lemat, which is a muzzle loading percussion pistol? And the other cartridge guns are all 1973 or newer, thus being even more out of place? His mother's grave is surrounded by a white picket fence with machine cut slats? And worst of all? When he rides up in the beginning, there are square bales on the field. Those weren't invented until the 1930s.
