Minor factual error, in the episode Honest John(Season 12,Episode 13),Jamie is confirmed to have a photograph of his father,his parent's wedding picture.


* TragicKeepsake: Jamie's father book with notes on rainmaking. It is destroyed when it is thrown in the fire by one of the men who attacked Dusty and Jamie's camp because it hadn't rained yet. Sadly, it was Jamie's last link to his beloved father, as he had no photograph of him. [[note]](In the early 1870s, for instance, photographs were a very expensive luxury.)[[/note]]

* CousinOliver: Hard to believe that this veteran series was still going very strong in 1970, some 11 years after its premiere. Still, there was a need to inject some youth into the show and to draw back younger fans ... and Jamie was just the ticket to do so. While his joining the cast didn't damage the ratings -- the show still ranked in the top 10 of the Nielsen ratings at season's end -- there were a few loyal fans of the show who thought that their beloved ''Bonanza'' was starting to stray from its original storyline.
