(2,382 posts)... of having actual brothers play brothers in the movie, I loved the authenticity of the saddles, the firearms, and the costumes; something rarely seen in westerns. A little-known movie called "The Culpepper Cattle Company" started the trend toward historical accuracy in western movies. Having been a horseman since childhood, an aficionado of antique firearms, and an amateur historian, I greatly appreciated the fact that film makers finally decided to do a little research, and not have someone shooting a Model 94 Winchester in a movie set in the 1870's!
