They stated he was riding almost unconscious after heavy drinking the nights prior and he was heading back to where he stayed to sleep off the massive hangover he would have been facing.

    Michael Biehn played Ringo very well, even if the script wasn't at all accurate concerning the real Ringo. He would have received a lot more attention for the role had Val Kilmer not done such an excellent job with Doc Holliday.
    It still bothers me a little that the line "I'm your huckleberry" was used and became so popular. That line was not historically correct. It should have been "I'm you huckle bearer". A "huckle" is one of the handles on the side of a casket. A "bearer" is one of the people who carries the casket. This makes sense. "I'm your huckleberry makes no sense at all, and it just stupid. The writer made that mistake, and no one else knew enough about anything to catch it.

    Interesting food for thought, anyway. But there are a couple of things that are not correct. First was the claim Ringo came from a large family of 5 children. That was not a large family in 1850, it was the average sized family. Second was more of an editing error, when just before and after the 7:00 mark of the video, she stated dates of 1978, 1979 and 1980, an obvious reading mistake by the narrator.
    What else was missed in researching Ringo? Maybe nothing, but when you have the little things incorrect, it makes you wonder about the bigger picture.
