As the families are leaving San Antonio by wagon (when Stroud was in jail), a pole with telegraph wires can be seen in the background. The film supposedly takes place in 1836, but a telegraph wasn't patented in Britain until 1837 and Morse's first demonstration of his telegraph wasn't until 1838. That same year he offered to give his invention to the new Republic of Texas but withdrew the offer after receiving no response. The first telegraph office in Texas wasn't opened until 1854.
