"Lola Montez"

"Lola Montez" 16 February 1959, is another western which could not possibly happen in real history.

The episode claims that Lola Montez married a character at the end of the episode, her husband died a few years later, and that Lola Montez spent the rest of her days taking care of underprivileged women.

Lola Montez, Countess of Landsfeld and almost Queen of Bavaria, died in 1861, which would put the events of the episode back in the 1850s.

At the beginning of "Lola Montez" Jim Hardee travels by train to Arizona to track down outlaw Zach Bradley.

When Apaches threaten trouble, a character says that there hasn't been any trouble with Apaches since "we put them on the reservation(s) three years ago."

Since the majority of Arizona Apaches were put on the reservation(s) about 1871 to 1873, "Lola Montez" should happen sometime in the period of about 1874 to 1876 or 1877. But maybe there was a peaceful period in the 1850s when most of the Arizona Apaches were on various reservations and at peace for several years straight before the ferocious conflicts of the 1860s.

But at the beginning of "Lola Montez", years before Lola Montez died in 1861, Jim Hardee travels to Arizona by train. The first Railroad to reach Arizona was the Southern Pacific line from Los Angeles that reached Maricopa Wells in south central Arizona in the spring of 1879 and continued to build the line east into New Mexico and Texas.

So if "Lola Montez" happened in real history it would have to happen years before 1861 and also years after 1879. Which is obviously impossible.

So the fictional universe of "Lola Montez" and the rest of Tales of wells Fargo must be an alternate universe where Lola montez lived years after 1861 and/or where railroads were built into Arizona years before 1879.
