After credits, screen shows: In the distance is the small village of Snowflake, Arizona. A wide dry wash with lots of sand and cobble rocks lined with cottonwood trees is the forefront. Camera pans the wash and down a dirt road past a few houses and barns. A wide empty ditch with lots of dry weeds runs next to the road, which is also lined with huge cottonwoods. There are no cement sidewalks and no people or cars are visible.

Fall is in the air and the many stately and multi-colored broadleaf trees - which are mingled with various evergreen trees, including shaggy-bark cedar trees - now shed flurries of red and golden leaves that flutter to the brown earth.

The actual historical events here dramatized took place primarily in the state of Illinois between 1925 and 1943.
