The Marshal was always looking after and explaining things and pleading to 'Dulcy' the young woman who was not his love interest but more like a ward. Stuart Whitman was the marshal.
I remember that one. In fact I remember all those. Rememebr the war show? Combat?

We already went from movie westerns to tv westerns, we are becomming dangerously close to thread drift.

Combat! (with Vic Morrow)

I can be more obscure than that,
and no, I don't mean 'The Rat Patrol'

Try this one....'Garrison's Gorillas'

Most people don't realize that it was based on the lives of 2 ranchers Loving and Goodnight that had ranches in west Texas and made the first drive on the Loving-Goodnight trail to Montana. Even the character of Deets is based on the life of the black cowboy, Bose Isom whom Loving buried in Weatherford, TX. Lots of facts entertwined through the story.
Read the book and have watched the movie, a bunch. Good info. I had heard that it was somewhat of a true story.

Loving died on one of the trail drives, not the first one, and his body was left in NM, picked up on the way back and buried in Weatherford. Also, there really was an Indian outlaw named Blue Duck, he was at one time the husband of Belle Starr

He did do a great job...

Tombstone and Wyatt Earp were both good but I think I preferred Tombstone

I had forgotten The Cowboys! Graet movie. I will never forget how obnoxious Bruce Dern was in that movie. He was the toughie with the whinnie voice that led the bad guys that killed John Wayne.

Tombostone hands down in my favorite.

It dominated Wyatt Earp. Kevin Costner just didn't fit the Wyatt Earp role...

I bought the Tombstone collectors edition with all of the extras, it was great.
