Chronology of Tales of Wells Fargo

Do Tales of Wells Fargo episodes happen in chronological order?

"Belle Starr", 9 September 1957, the first episode of the second season, has Jim Hardee arrest Belle Starr and take her to "Hanging Judge" Isaac Parker who sentences her to prison. Actually Belle Starr was arrested by Deputy US Marshall Bass Reeves in 1883, and sentenced to prison by Judge Parker, which strongly suggests that that "Belle Starr" should happen in 1883. Hardee kills outlaw Blue Duck in the episode, even though Blue Duck died of natural causes in 1895.

Two Cartridges", 16 September 1957, the second episode of the second season, should be after Deadwood was founded in early 1876, and also while there is peace with the Sioux Indians, and so after about September, 1877.

"John Wesley Hardin", 30 September 1959, the fourth episode of the second season, should happen sometime between January 27, 1873 and February 26, 1873.

"The Sooners", 3 March 1858, the 26th episode of season 2, begins shortly before the Oklahoma Land Rush on April 22, 1889, as Hardie says in his opening narration. "Sooners" were criminals who sneaked into the land rush zone ahead of time, thus literally "jumping the gun", and thus had an unfair advantage to stake their claims to be best land ahead of everyone else.

Later in the episode a calendar showing the month of December is glimpsed, so "The Sooners" could last from April to December of 1889.

"The Break", 19 May 1958, the thirty seventh episode of the second season, happens just after Jesse James is shot, which was on April 3, 1882 in real life, so it might also happen in April 1882 in the fictional universe of Tales of Wells Fargo.

"White Indian" 22 September 1958, the 3rd episode of season 3, involves Tommy Macrea, who was 4 years old when sent by train to Dodge City and then by stagecoach to meet his parents, but never made it, and was raised by Indians for 15 years. Since the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway reached Dodge City in September, 1872, "The White Indian" should happen in or after September, 1887 - possibly many years after 1887.

Episode 23 of season three, "Lolo Montez", 16 February 1959, should happen both a few years before Lola Montez died in 1861 and also after railroads first reached Arizona in 1879 - which is impossible. I can't help wondering if the writer got it backwards and thought it should happen after 1861 and before 1879 instead of before 1861 and after 1879.

In "Red Ransom" 8 February 1960, episode 22 or season 4, someone fears an Indian attack on the town and another Fetterman Massacre, but doesn't speak of another Little Bighorn.

So "Red Ransom" might be after news of the Fetterman Massacre of 21 December 1866 reached the area about January 1867, and before news of the Little Bighorn on June 25-26, 1876, reached the area in early July 1876. The state of peace with the Apaches indicates "Red Ransom" should be after either 1873 or 1886.

The thirteenth episode of the fifth season, "Escort to Santa Fe", 19 December 1960, happens on April 14 & 15, 1865.

So Tales of Wells Fargo episodes were not broadcast in chronological order.
