Did you know

• Before becoming an actor Wilford Brimley had been a blacksmith.

• Wilford Brimley, as Joe Gill, carries an unusual Evans repeating rifle. The Evans rifle, invented by Warren R. Evans of Thomaston, ME, was produced only from 1873-9. Gill, who admits to not being a very good shot, says he likes it because he can fire 28 shots before having to reload.

• Author Louis L'Amour, son of a 19th century Montana rancher, not only grew up experiencing much of the western life that was reflected in his novels, but like his Covington character he also sailed the Pacific as a merchant seaman.
