1) At what age, and at what state of grizzlement, does one begin to speak Frontier Gibberish? Clearly younger frontiersmen don’t speak it. Is it brought on by a stroke?

2) They had dream sequences back in 1953? Hmmm. How far back in moviedom do dream sequences go?

I don’t know how authentic it was, but…

Since he’s older and an expert on dynamite, Hobbs is given every cliched mannerism of the grizzled prospector character

Did he speak in authentic Frontier Gibberish?

As a former Missourian, I must add that Jesse’s descendants have done nothing to improve his reputation, being to a (wo)man mad as hatters huffing lead-based paint.

I for one would love to hear your take on “the Brad Pitt movie from a few years back.”
