In one scene, Mingo says that Jericho will have the psychological advantage over the Native American runner in the race. What in the world did they know about psychology in the 18th century? Was that even a word then?
Cincinnatus: An Injun ain't been born yet that can outrun Dan'l Boone.
Daniel (to Jemima): Sometimes you sound more like your ma than your ma.
Daniel (about the Native Americans): I'd rather race 'em than fight 'em.
Jericho (to Cincinnatus): You try to check my teeth you're gonna get bit.
Jericho: I keep tellin' you I ain't a horse but nobody seems to listen to me.
Jericho (to Jemima about the storeroom): It ain't much but I call it home.
Daniel: Who can I hurt in this town? Jericho: Everybody.
Stinch (about Jericho): He hit me. Coll: Then bite him back.
Stinch (about Jericho): How are we gonna get him dressed? Coll: We ain't gonna bother. He's worth just as much undressed.
Cincinnatus (about Jericho): I knew we couldn't trust that boy.
Jericho (about Stinch and Coll): Neither one of you's exactly what I call honest.
Jericho (to Daniel and Mingo): The only way I'm gonna be able to beat that Indian boy is if he breaks his leg.
Daniel (to Cincinnatus): If that Iroquois hadn't stepped in that badger hole you'd be sleepin' in the street.
Cincinnatus: You know, Mingo, sometimes I understand you better when you're talkin' Indian instead of English.
Cincinnatus: Where's your patriotism, boy? Jericho: I never heard of the word before.
Mingo: The trouble with you, Cincinnatus, is that you're a poor loser. Cincinnatus: I'm a poor winner too.
This episode marked the first appearance of the characters of Stinch and Coll, two ne'er-do-wells who seemingly always caused trouble around Boonesborough.
The theme of a cross country footrace between the settlers and the Native Americans would be repeated in Run for the Money which aired in Season Six.
