Description: Revised Estimating script for the 1969 Western film. Laid in is a call sheet for the film, dated April 5, 1968, detailing cast members, shooting times, transportation, and crew requisitions.

A major contributor to the "end of the West" theme so prevalent of the genre in the 1970s, and one of the earliest New Hollywood Westerns.
