Jeb was one of three old-timers, the other two being Levi and Zeke, who frequented the Palace Saloon in Hill Valley in 1885.

He had a brown mustache which drooped over his mouth, and usually sat on the right at the table.

Behind the scenes[]

  • Jeb was portrayed by late legendary veteran western actor Pat Buttram. He is referred to as "Saloon Old-Timer #3" in the film credits, but his name is mentioned in Craig Shaw Gardner's novelization.
  • Jeb's reference about Marty's shirt having come off "a dead Chinese" may have been to the events of the previous day in real history, September 2, 1885, when, in Rock Springs, Wyoming, 150 white miners attacked and killed their Chinese co-workers. [1]
