...pursued across 1,000 miles of 1850s Oregon desert...

How do you get 1000 miles of desert in Oregon? The entire width of the state is only 400 miles, and it's certainly not all desert.

I'd never heard of this before but saw the trailer this weekend and thought it looked hilarious.

They showed a teaser in front of SOLO with the tagline of: The Sisters Brothers Always Shoot First.

Seriouly? That's great. I wonder why we didn't get that on Solo.

Well, they're definitely taking some artistic license here, but Oregon didn't become a state until 1859. When it became Oregon Territory at the signing of the Oregon Treaty with Britain in 1846, it encompassed present-day Oregon, Washington, Idaho and parts of Montana and Wyoming.

I just thought it was that they were going up and down or even back and forth over that part of the desert.
