This tone is established in a brief Prologue that contrasts the covered wagons and stage coaches of yesteryear with the trains and automobiles of "today," and these comparisons extend into the film's opening section.

One reason for McLoughlin's partial withdrawal from the rotogravure series late in 1948 was undoubtably the introduction of Christmas annuals to the Boardman line under their Popular Press imprint.
With the single exception of the Buffalo Bill Wild West Annual, by the mid to late-1950s, Boardman comics were no more and, after the 1961 issue, Buffalo Bill folded as well.
McLoughlin then took about two years off from comics to finish the compilation of Wild & Woolly, his encyclopedia of the American West published by Doubleday in 1974 (Available through Amazon.com).
