 * My reliable source was History. In the film they mention aeroplanes going to be used in the War. America did not join the War until 1917 and the military side of the US Air Force did not come into being until 1917. Also mentioned is Pershing's troops gathering along the Mexican Border, which happened in 1916/17. The machine gun used in the film is a Browning 1917 which didn't exist in 1913. There is a German Commander in Mapache's camp. This coincides with events of the Zimmerman Telegram of 1917 where Germany attempted to start a War between the US and Mexico to keep them out of the War. America had no intention of joining the War in 1913, aside from the fact it hadn't actually started yet. There is a still from the film that was cut, showing a store front with the town census on it taken in 1914. While this doesn't prove the year as 1917, it does disprove the year as 1913.
 * The historical events that take place in the film place it in 1917. The film is its own reliable source.
 * The original VHS release of the film stated the events took place in 1917, as did the Laserdisc release. 79.68.160.114 (talk) 13:32, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
