When Hondo first meets the woman and kid, he tells them that he is riding dispatch for General Crook. The movie takes place 1869/1870, and Crook was not promoted to General until late 1872. While it is true he received a brevet promotion to Major General in the Civil War, upon the war's end, he reverted to the permanent rank of lieutenant colonel, and was not promoted to Brigadier General until 1872.

When Hondo first meets the woman and kid, he tells them that he is riding dispatch for General Crook. The movie takes place 1869/1870, and Crook was not promoted to General until late 1872. [Not true, according to Wikipedia Crook was first promoted to Brigadier General in 1862, at which time he was addressed as "General". For clarification, consider this, Patton was a 5 star General but never addressed as, "Five Star General, Sir" nor "Four Star General, Sir" nor is any rank of General referred to as anything but General.]
