back in the 50s you couldn't go to any school and not see a kid between 6-12 wearing a cowboy outfit. and this show and the john wayne movies are the two biggest reasons why.

Wonderful continuity fault 2 min 20 sec in - the showman is "Barlum", but a poster by the door says "Barnum", the name of the real world-famous showman!

Great show. One of my mom's favorites when she was growing up!

maybe we should send in the Lone Ranger to get the information and photos of torture out to the public.

Beethovens symphony at 15:28 [ also used in the film zardoz ]

[CinnAlla]

@spacepatrolman Yes, to be precise it's the second movement of the 7th Symphony in A Major. Also in the episode you can hear Borodin's Polovtsian Dances (10.40) and the Overture to the Flying Dutchman by Wagner (15.50).

tonto in spanish means - dumb, forgetful..

really loved how the movie industry made the native americans look like a bunch of savages...always killing indians

[NYShuffle]

actually it means foolish but the Indians weren't wetbacks, they were redskins which is much better

[leglesstheelf]

@dmiltz What really bothers me is the very careful language in the narrator's introduction - the pioneers were "bringing civilization and the roots of progress", the Indians react violently (who could imagine why? And of course, violence is their only reaction), and soldiers are sent in to "make peace". Proper Orwellian use of language going on there.

Who knew Jay Silverheels could sing!

"Mudrago" now there's a name.
