In the very beginning of the movie, the narrator says, "Pony Express riders know that one more such attack (referring to the Custer Massacre) would mean a hundred years before another wagon train crosses the prairie." Then they show a Pony Express rider supposedly carrying the news. But the Custer massacre happened in June of 1876, and the Pony Express went out of business in 1861. See more...

Near the end of the film, John Wayne crosses off days on a calendar prominently labeled "1878." A short time later, when he receives his commission as a scout, he says it is signed by "Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United States." Grant was president from 4 March 1869 to 4 March 1877; in 1878, the president was Rutherford B. Hayes. [The calendar is prominently marked 1876 and it is established at the beginning of the film that the year is 1876 when the regimental commander reads Captain Brittles a list of those killed at the Battle of the Little Bighorn which occurred in June of 1876.]
