Corrected entry: Between the spring snowmelt and spring of 1859, Dr. Schultz and Django appear to effortlessly transport themselves from Wyoming to Mississippi, a distance of at least 1800 miles, travelling via horseback.

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film, a caption states the year as 1858, two years before the start of the civil war. The civil war didn't start until three years later, on April 12, 1861.
Correction: While technically a mistake, the audience learns later in the movie that the action starts in late 1858, so really the war started 2 and half years later in April 1861. So this mistake is really just a little time compression Tarantino used to say 2 years rather than 2 and half years before the war. That's not really a mistake since directors do that all the time.

Correction: A horse traveling around 50 miles a day could do the trip in a little over a month. Fifty miles in a day isn't uncommon for a horse if you ride 10 or 12 hours a day. Endurance horse can cover 100 miles in a day. So, if the snow starts melting in mid March, and they get to Missouri in late April, it could be easily done and fit in the time period shown.
