  • This western series followed former civil war captain Bill Longley (Rory Calhoun), who roamed the American west helping those in need.
    The series ran on CBS for two seasons consisting of 78 episodes. In the season 1 episode "A Quart of Law", Longley arrives in a frontier town under the grip of a dictatorial sheriff and his two sidekicks, who are about to hold a sham election for the position of lawman. Can the Texan convince a reluctant sheriff's candidate and the frightened townsfolk to stand up to the corrupt trio?

    What a remarkable Western! I used to sit perched on my dear old WWII vet father's lap when watching this and other Westerns; Actor Rory Calhoun was one of my favorite cowboys. I miss you, Pop. ❤

      My grandfather was born in 1880, he and my grandmother gave birth to my mother when he was age 58, and she being 42. It was my grandfather's lap I sat on while in his rocking chair and we watched this show, and many others too. That was on Galveston Island, Texas.

    Listen to The Texans gun shots during the shootout at the end. His gun sounds like a cannon and the others is a normal shot.

      I think that Horse is the well know beautiful "Dice" in USA maybe called a Pinto still but possibly another more finessed colour description .You should look up the great book HOLLYWOOD HORSES.

    'behold the gender pronoun...NOT!'
    See, there was a time when you could tell the difference.

      "Sex" was created by our creator, "gender" was an invention of those without a belief in a creator.
