When Nevada Smith is after Jessie Coe, the music playing in the saloon in the background is "Frankie and Johnnie." In a previous scene, Bowdre says he hasn't skinned an Indian since the war (Civil War) 15 years ago. Thus, the date of the story has to be no later than 1880. The first published version of the music to "Frankie and Johnny" appeared in 1904 (credited to and copyrighted by Hughie Cannon).
