What a pleasure to see Peter Breck in one of his first tv appearances! He will always be remembered as the jowly and irascible Nick Barkley. Richard Anderson went on to immortality as "Oscar," on the "Six Million Dollar Man" in the early 1970s.
I must add that I give The Forsaken Westerns five stars, not because forsaken westerns are shown, but for the quality of them. He seems to make an attempt to pick only good apples.
Enjoyed this. Both my Uncles started out delivering telegraphs. then became telegraphists, and rose through the CN/CP Telecommunications ranks. In middle of nowhere to boot.
Thanks so much for these old westerns. As a note of trivia the town in this episode was at the gone but not forgotten Corriganville movie ranch. This is the same street Nick Adams walked down in the pilot episode of The Rebel and where the Texas Rangers walked up then down as the opening and closing for The Tales Of The Texas Rangers. Also the Forsaken Westerns episode Buckskin Rangers was filmed at Corriganville along with Ray Crash Corrigan owner of the movie ranch. Keep 'em coming.
Trivia-It was destroyed by wildfires in 1976 and 1979. In 1937, Ray 'Crash' Corrigan, Real name: Raymond Benitz 1902 - 1976, one of the stars of Republic Pictures' The Three Mesquiteers Western series, purchased a 1500 acre ranch in Simi Valley, Ventura County, California, for $11,354. Corriganville was built by movie and TV actor Ray Bernard, but better known as Crash Corrigan. After going on a hunting trip in Simi Valley with fellow actor, Clark Gable, in 1935, Corrigan fell in love with the area. In 1937, Corrigan purchased the land, and built his home there. He eventually went on to build an entire western backlot, dubbed Silvertown, served as the background scenery for movies and television programs such as Fort Apache, Buffalo Bill in Tomahawk Territory, The Robe, Lassie, The Lone Ranger, The Bandit of Sherwood Forest, How the West was Won, Gunsmoke,The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin, Sky King, Circus Boy, and Star Trek, and more. One of the last movies filmed there was Vigilante Force (1976). Wikipedia atomicredhead.com obscurehollywood.net/corriganville.html

WESTERN SERIES AND MOVIES FROM THE 40'S TO THE MID 70'S WERE JUST GREAT.
Thanks for airing. I enjoyed it very much. Too bad it didn't continue as a series. So many good showed have fallen on the way side.
Talk about inspiration and integrity that's more contagious than covid.
Thanks

Oh wow this is good!!!!!!
He gave Junior a old school Ass whipping
Great Thanks Bob
I remember watching this as a kid. The intro is hard to forget. Thanks for posting.
I think some of these Westerns were aired before our family had a TV !
Great show first time seeing it .
THANKS again Bob T. I've seen this one already, very good episode. beginning reminds me of Tate & maybe a little bit of wagon train? the tune anyway
Tate. This used stock music from Capitol's Hi-Q Library.
I remember this airing in 1959, when we got back to the States from Germany. Or at least one very remarkably similar.
Never saw any of these...didn’t have a tv til 1961
I believe this was early 50’s as Richard looks younger than he did in the Rifleman, as does Peter Breck .
And later he created the 6 million dollar man. .. gee how times of changed.
B. Thanks again ps.injoy my pony amd. Me by the Terry family !
Can't believe the good fortune of finding these_ jackpot!
Check out old time radio shows.
Have gun will travel,
hoping along cassidy

@@venetiaanortrup8514 isn’t have gun will travel a tv show aswell?
Good Show
The great Raymond Hatton in one of his later performances.
this used to be my old job back from my old country.. a telegraph operator sending and receiving telegrams from other places.. until now i still know the intrtnational morse code..
I remember the show. I was pretty young and I don't remember the years it was on. The name of the show was WESTERN UNION.
Irving Berlin, who edited this pilot, is not the songwriter of the same name.
I’m thinking the widowed mother is Phyllis Coates who was the first Lois Lane in The Adventures of Superman tv series.
pretty good show. To bad it didn't make it.
The theme song ended up being used for the short-lived "Tate".
By the great William Loose himself!
