** At the end of the first episode, as the cattle drive is crossing a river, they encounter a swarm of water moccasins which attack and kill one man. The last shot of the episode is a snake biting his cheek. The novel deepens the horror by pointing out that although the company has decades of experience, collectively, with river crossings -- including multiple trips across that very river -- no one on the drive has ever seen such a large and aggressive nest of snakes.

** Blue Duck is a half-breed Indian who prowls the wilderness outside the towns. Feared by all who know him, Blue Duck is a slaver who kidnaps those he can and sells them for a tidy sum, especially women. Blue Duck kidnaps the HookerWithAHeartOfGold Lori and allows his companions to rape her on a daily basis, splitting her between his Indian and cowboy followers. When one of his men is gut shot, Blue Duck refuses to let any other put the henchman out of his misery and even allows his Indian followers to castrate and scalp him, with barely concealed amusement.

*** July finally tracking down Elmira and breaking the news about [[spoiler:Roscoe and Joe]]. Her reaction? She doesn't have one, instead ignoring the news only lamenting that her ex-husband Dee had been hanged a few days prior.
