The tombstone in the opening scene is dated 1873, but in several episodes that took place BEFORE this one, the year is 1875.
closing narration:
Their names do not roll with the thunder of Jefferson or Paine, but between 1866 and 1882 for thirty dollars a month and found, these hard and lonely men pushed five million cattle into the heartland of a growing nation. They were the builders of this land.
note: "Found" means free meals and lodging.
Will Parmalee: Man can't tote a house and kids around on a horse.
Tait Cavanaugh: Man won't go along with the railroad, he's finished. In a few short years there won't be no such thing as a trail drive. We gotta face that.
Quincy: You don't drive cattle boy. You push 'em.
Will Parmalee: He died the best way a cowhand can. Sittin' on leather.
David Brian, who portrayed Tait Cavanaugh, was credited with a Special Guest Appearance.
