Hence why they were told to stay there and not run. Leaving the scene made them guilty to the Lakota.

Ahh that makes sense. Thanks! I must’ve missed that part when I left the room.

There’s so few left now.

I am not a medical historian by any stretch and I am not going to attempt to Goggle-cate myself on it but...

Even if she did not incur any major organ damage (that is a very big if) she WILL get a systemic infection that is likely to overwhelm her immune system. A deep puncture wound like a through arrow is not going to bleed enough to clean itself. Doctors are almost always more worried about even a fairly shallow puncture wound that closes off than an open laceration that bleeds profusely. For example, dog bites that rip the skin open are far less likely to result in infection than a pure puncture would the seals over. They will sometimes open those and put in a surgical drain for a few days.

At the time there were no true antibiotics and the best thing they had was "potions" and poultices made from plants along with scary stuff like arsenic and mercury.

The chances of her survival are extraordinarily slim, especially since the little medical help she can get is days away leaving the infection to set in before even the meager treatments they had at the time can start.


TLDR: she dead well unless Sheridan just changes history again, hell they may have Cipro in his alternate universe.

Or they just named it after the Yellowstone River which runs through the valley…

fwiw..Yellowstone is named after the color of stone on the side of the the canyon the Yellowstone River runs through.

if Elsa dies, who continues to tell the story? Also, frick sheridan for killing off the hottest female on the show.

It was renewed. Remember they just announced 1932 which will be the story of Tim McGraws son

My guess is one more season of 1883

That's certainly plausible. I don't know the history of the river's name so I'll assume it works. I'm going to stick to my theory because Dutton placed such a high emphasis on honoring his daughter's death by establishing their home at the place she passes away that it makes sense to name the ranch for her Yellow Hair as was part of her Indian name. We'll see soon enough.

I want to disagree with you, as it seems more logical to name it after the river that runs through it, but hell you might be right.

Just realized that Wade is a Lafayette native and LSU graduate

He’s really from Charenton. Grew up on the chitimacha reservation. I think he went to West St Mary High School. Also went to Lsu.

Is this the last show of the season? Or one more show?

Does Elsa really die?
