| 1 | * The story has a really nice subversion of the classic RidingIntoTheSunset ending. |
| 2 | --> '''Narrator''': So Nathan Brittles, ex-captain of cavalry U.S.A., started westward for the new settlements in California: westward toward the setting sun, which is the end of the trail for all old men. But the army hadn't finished with Nathan Brittles, and it sent a galloper after him. ''THAT'' was Sgt. Tyree's department. |
| 3 | * The words inscribed on the watch Brittles received as a gift from his men. |
| 4 | --> "Lest we forget." |
| 5 | * When Brittles makes his report at his wife's grave. |
| 6 | * When, at Sudrow's Well, Brittles allows Trooper John Smith to be buried under his real name (Rome Clay), and former rank (Brigadier General) and flag (the Confederate Battle Flag). In addition, he eulogizes him as "a gallant soldier, and a Christian gentleman." |
