--> '''the fake Wild Bill Hickok'': Don't bother with the name. Within the week, they'll have forgotten who he was, anyway. Just carve on it HE SHOULD HAVE LEFT TOWN BEFORE THE SUN WENT DOWN.

** The short story "The Sixth Shotgun" makes it abundantly clear who the real murderer is once it's mentioned who does own the six shotguns in town (a few pages before the end of the story), in addition to the man's [[CaptainObviousReveal general unpleasantness and having a good motive.]]

** There are so many Sackett's, with generations going so far back they go, that it isn't easy to tell how distant of cousins most of them are. ''The Sackett Companion'' includes a family tree, but L'Amour acknowledges that even it doesn't have all the named Sacketts, missing Emily, Mordecai, Macon and Trulove Sacketts and their children.
** Downplayed with the Fetchen's from "The Skyliners." There are six named Fetchen's, a couple unnamed ones and Coby Raffin TheDragon (who according to the Sackett Companion novel is a cousin of the Fetchen's), with none of them having their exact relationship to each other described any further than at least one of the others being the brother of BigBad Black Fetchen.
** The Allard's in ''Brionne" are another example with the leader of the group being the brother of Dave Allard (who was arrested and hanged by Brionne) and it being unclear how two family members who travel with him (and at least three other briefly mentioned relatives who aren't outlaws) are related to those two.

* IconicSequelCharacter: Tell Sackett is one of the most famous and frequently used characters in the shared universe, but doesn't appear until the second ''Sackett'' novel (although his brothers mention him in the preceding book). Tell's distant cousin Lando and family friend The Tinkerer only debut in the book after that, and Sackett ancestor Jubal (who rivals Tell in iconic status despite having far fewer appearances) had to wait another twelve years for his literary debut.

* LostColony: The short story "No Rest for the Wicked" mentions the Lost Village Diggings, a famous settlement formed when a group of Spanish priests, soldiers, and their {{Native Guide}}s were chased into an isolated valley by the Apache early in the colonization of Southern North America. They built a village, mined gold, and often married members of other local tribes, but spent hundreds of years isolated from the outside world, with villagers who tried to leave typically being killed by Apaches (a couple made it through and revealed the existence of the place, but one couldn’t find his way back and the other was killed by a rattlesnake while trying to guide a search party to the village). During the story, a ConMan claims that all the villagers died and he has found their gold mine, but the local lawman knows he is lying due to having been born in the real village, which was abandoned under peaceful circumstances at a point when there weren’t enough Apaches left in the region to impede the exodus.

* TheDreaded: The Sacketts are this by the time of ''Borden Chantry'' (about the mid-1870s): although respected as honest, law-abiding people, most of the frontier finds the prospect of arousing their anger to be ''terrifying''. [[BadassFamily With good reason.]]
