The Bank Robbers.............. ..{{{SPOILERS}}}

One of the boys who robbed the bank recognized Gideon as one of Gen. McClellans officers who lost both his sons at the battle of Antietam and who had also killed over 100 men.

What are the chances that:
1. They just "happen" upon each other?
2. The kid "recognizes" him?
3. The kid knows his story?

How had he seen him? Photo? Highly unlikely since photography was in its infancy at that time, and besides, Gideon didn't look much like he once did.

I guess the filmmakers just threw this in to show that Gideon had lost his family too, and in that way he and Carver were alike.

Highly implausible, IMO.

He said that he was there and saw him. Didnt you watch the movie?

I'll have to replay that part, I must have missed that bit of dialogue.

"Didnt you watch the movie?" Of course I watched the movie, dumbass.

he saw him with his own eyes, and co incidences happen, its not really that rare, the guy knew him by face, not by reputation alone
