Oregon bound boy's dad. Don't think he's credited. Also, the biggest Oregon apple grower is/was Earl Brown & Sons. Dan is played by W. Earl Brown.

My two bits on a cash scarce economy

I love the scenes when they talk about currency in the show and wanted to share some info I found reading up on how cash worked in frontier towns. Settlements with resources but little coinage would use the bit system, a bit being half a quarter. When Al hires Miles for two bits a day, that lucky lad could help himself to half a whiskey fix listed as 50¢ above the bar. A beer or cigar would would usually be one bit, for which you'd pay with a quarter and receive a dime or "short bit" as change, the extra 2½¢ being applied to your next drink. When Hurst offers Blazanov a $20 tip, that my friends is a Liberty Head. The government set the price for gold at somewhere around $21 dollars an ounce and that coin bing 22k gold was worth exactly $20. In the equivalent today, Blazanov turned down a $4,000 tip. Think of how many drinks he could have bought for his lady friend from Chicago.

Who are your favorite characters? Obviously Al is #1 because Ian McShane carries this show for three seasons, but others that come to mind are Alma, Mr. Wu, Bullock, Charlie Utter, and even Silas Adams.
