Would Elliott Marston...? NO HE WOULD NOT!!
This is one of my favorites BUT, Marston apparently does some things that he wouldn't do, BUT he has to to make a good movie.
Marston doesn't seem to think too much of his own people, but according to the story he gives the 'Legendary Sharps' to one of these men. And since he believes he was born on the wrong continent, don't you think he would have kept Quigley's saddle? Nope, gave that away too.
