what's the film where in the opening the scene takes place on a prairie. A cowboy or outlaw brings a wounded man to a lone cabin to a woman and her children. The cowboy then leaves the wounded man with the family and threatens the mother saying "...I'll be back in time to fetch my friend, and if he isn't better, I'll burn this cabin to the ground".

It was an early 60s western, for some reason I'm thinking "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance". I'm not sure.

I don't think this is "Liberty Valance". That one starts off with the funeral for Wayne's character and then goes into a flashback where Lee Marvin holds up a stagecoach with Jimmy Stewart on a terribly obvious and meticulously lighted Hollywood stage set. Good guy wimpy lawyer Stewart is beaten and taken care of by one of the people in the town he was traveling to.

I was thinking this might have been one of the Randolph Scott - Budd Boetticher westerns, but I'm not sure. It's been a few years since I saw them.
