Corrected entry: At the end of the movie Charlie Bowdre is shown in a gun battle with a Murphy man and they end up killing each other. Historically, Charles Bowdre was killed by Pat Garret in 1880, 2 years after the McSween battle.

Corrected entry: At the end of the battle at McSweens home Billy the Kid is shown returning to town to shoot L.G. Murphy between the eyes. This is a complete fabrication. L.G Murphy died of cancer on the 20th of October 1878 almost 3 months to the day after the battle at the McSween home.
Correction: This is not a documentary, it's a fictional tale that happens to use a few historical characters. It's not under any obligation to treat them in a factual manner - it's called artistic licence.
