Wagon Train

The show chronicles the adventures of a wagon train as it makes its way from Missouri to California. There were 284 episodes: the first aired on September 18, 1957, and the final segment was broadcast on May 2, 1965. Some of the actors appearing on Wagon Train included Ward Bond as wagon master Major Seth Adams (seasons 1-4), Robert Horton as scout Flint McCullough (seasons 1-5), John McIntire as wagon master Christopher Hale (seasons 4-8), Robert Fuller as scout Cooper Smith (seasons 7-8), Denny Scott Miller as Duke Shannon (seasons 5-7), Michael Burns as Barnaby West (seasons 4-8), Frank McGrath as Charlie Wooster (cook, seasons 1-8), and Terry Wilson as Bill Hawks. McIntire replaced Bond as wagon master upon Bond's death, and Fuller replaced Horton as scout when Horton opted to depart, an obvious choice since Fuller had already played a lead in another western series (Laramie on NBC) and physically resembled Horton. The eight-season one-hour show was filmed in black and white except for its seventh season, which was 90 minutes and in color.
