The novel upon which the movie is based opens with Jake participating in a lynching of a man in front of the man's family. The man's son tries to interfere, and Jake shoots the boy in the back. There is the sense that he does this in large part to gain the trust of the men in his group, many of whom see him as a foreigner, but he is criticized by some for shooting the boy in the back instead of facing him eye-to-eye.
