• German episode title: "Häuptling Cochise und die Cartwrights", meaning "Chief Cochise And The Cartwrights". [edit]
• Joe was originally slated to be the one who gets shot and Adam was to carry him to safety. Pernell Roberts couldn't do this due to a bad back, so it was decided that Roberts' stand-in, Betty Endicott would do it instead. Roberts' was not pleased at the thought of this - a woman just over 5ft carrying Michael Landon. Michael Landon and Pernell Roberts worked out a way to have Joe carry Adam instead during their lunch break. The script was then re-written to have Adam as the shooting victim instead. [edit]

• Hoss: Ohhh…then it’s more than just orders, ain’t it captain? There is a right and a wrong. [edit]
• Ben: To save the life of my son – I’d talk to the devil himself. [edit]

• Cochise (?-1874) - Chiricahua Apache chief [edit]
