Are there any obvious historical incongruities in the series?
There are some, of course, particularly due to the longevity of the series, as well as the lack of available documents from that historical period when the series first got underway. For example, the temporal setting of the first issue is 1898, a date which is totally out of place with what will follow in later issues. Even the Rangers were described rather inaccurately: a civil corps (not military) of border police. On the cover and in the inside of issue number 450 the Campidoglio is depicted in place of the White House. The character of Kit Carson does not correspond at all to the real Kit Carson (see the appropriate question above).
