...but I did not care for the guy who played Blue Duck in the original either. A young Floyd Westerman type would've been better I thought. (But not Graham Greene either.)

An actual Blue Duck was a lover of Belle Star's according to Woody's song. Any historical insights into that from somebody?

And the real Charlie Goodnight took Oliver Loving's body back to Texas much like Call took Gus back to his grove of trees in the book.

I've always loved Utah's song "The Goodnight-Loving Trail"---did it for many years.
