Wayne was to have portrayed Sam Houston, a bit part that would have let him focus on his ( first major ) directing effort, but the money-lenders insisted he play a leading character.
Other roles went to family and close friends of Wayne, including his son Patrick and daughter Aissa.
The future western songwriter and stuntman Rudy Robbins had a bit role in the film as one of the Tennessee Volunteers.
