This series was part of the classic show"wonderful world of disney",as was "the swamp fox"also reviewed on this blog,run back in the 50's and 60's .Like anything else from back then,truth is in the mouth of the teller and reading about the man confirms he was a legend,however was he like the show,doubtful, although many facts are included along with embellishments. What is worth watching is the entertainment ,as a great cast preforms all the values of that day as well if not better than other westerns of the time.Tom Tryon IS Slaughter and many other fine actors of that era pop in and out over the 17 episodes shown for the 3 years it ran on Disney's wonderful world.It covers almost his entire productive years from coming back from the civil war to being shierff of Cochise county Arizona territory.Along the way,becoming a Texas Ranger,cattleman and apache expert are covered as well as two marriages,if in truthful terms,hum…..Thus the 1 star off.Still its rip roaring fun for western fans and is true to to the old code of the west,however true THAT was.I do recommend if only for the nostalgic value.Hard to find but worth the time.Episode one beginnings URL follows the picture.I liked it !!!
