    GUNSMOKE ! By GORDON BUDGE f you had lived in Dodge City in I the 1870’s, Matt Dillon-the fic- tional Marshal of CBS Radio and TV’s Gunsmoke-would have been just the sort of man you would like to have for a friend. The same holds for his sidekick, Chester, and his special pals, Kitty and Doc. They are down-to-earth, ‘good and honest people. That one word “honest” is, to a great extent, responsible for the success of Gunsmoke on both radio and TV. It best describes the sto- ries, characters and detailed his- torical background which go to make up the show. Norman Macdonnell and John Meston, Gunsmoke’s producer and writer, are the two men who created the format and guided the show to its success (the TV version has topped the Nielsen ratings since June, 1957)) and the show is a fair reflection of their own characters: Producer Macdonnell is a straight- forward, clear-thinking young man of forty-two, born in Pasadena and raised in the West, with a passion for pure-bred quarter horses. He joined the CBS Radio network as a page, rose to assistant producer in two years, ultimately commanded such network properties as Sus- pense, Escape, and Philip Marlowe. Writer John Meston’s checkered career began in Colorado some forty-three years ago and grass- hopped through Dartmouth (‘35) to the Left Bank in Paris, school- teaching in Cuba, range-riding in Colorado, and ultimately, the job as Network Editor for CBS Radio in Hollywood. It was here that Meston and Macdonnell met.

  • Jim Levy, Irish Jewish Gunfighter of the Old West
    Jim Levy, Irish Jewish Gunfighter of the Old West By William Rabinowitz It’s been a few quite a few years since Chandler, our grandson, was a little boy. His parents would come down with him every winter, free room and board, and happy Grandparents to baby sit. I doubt they actually came to visit much with the geriatrics but it was a free “vacation”. It is not always sun and surf and pool and hot in Boynton Beach, Fl. Sometimes it is actually cold and rainy here. Today was one of those cold and rainy days. Chandler has long since grown up into a typical American young person more interested in “connecting” in Cancun than vegetating in Boynton Beach anymore. I sat down on the sofa, sweatshirt on, house temperature set to “nursing home” hot, a bowl of popcorn, diet coke and turned on the tube. Speed channel surfing is a game I used to play with Chandler. We would sit in front of the T.V. and flip through the channels as fast as our fingers would move. The object was to try and identify the show in the micro second that the image flashed on the screen. Grandma Sheila sat in her sitting room away from the enervating commotion. She was always busy needle- pointing another treasured wall hanging that will need to be framed and sold someday at an estate sale. With my trusty channel changer at my side, I began flipping through the stations, scanning for something that would be of interest as fast as possible.

  • Charles Collins: the SIOUX City Promotion of the Black Hills
    Copyright © 1971 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Charles Collins: The SIOUX City Promotion of the Black Hills JANE CONARD The Black Hills mining frontier. located in southwestern South Dakota, was one of the last regions to experience the turbulence of a gold rush. Rapid development and exploitation of mineral wealth was typical of the gold discoveries in the mountainous West during the Civil War years and the following decade. Although rumors of gold in the Black Hills had persisted throughout these years, the area lay within the Great Sioux Reservation and few white men had had the opportunity of exploring the region to verity the rumors. By the early 1870s public opinion in the Northwest-as Iowa. Nebraska. Minnesota. and Dakota Territory was called-ran strongly in favor of some action by the federal government to open the Black Hills to settlement. The spirit of 'forty-nine lingered on and old miners, ever dreaming of bonanza strikes, sought new gold fields. One step removed from the real and the imaginery gold fields were the merchants and the newspapermen who hoped to outfit the miners, develop new town sites, supply the needs of new communities, and influence the course of men and events. Charles Collins, a newspaperman and promoter from Sioux City, Iowa, spearheaded a campaign to open the Black Hills gold fields to whites. A dynamic Irishman, he sought to put Sioux City on the map as the gateway to the mines, to bring prosperity to the Northwest, and to acquire fame and wealth for himself.

  • Road to Oregon Written by Dr
    The Road to Oregon Written by Dr. Jim Tompkins, a prominent local historian and the descendant of Oregon Trail immigrants, The Road to Oregon is a good primer on the history of the Oregon Trail. Unit I. The Pioneers: 1800-1840 Who Explored the Oregon Trail? The emigrants of the 1840s were not the first to travel the Oregon Trail. The colorful history of our country makes heroes out of the explorers, mountain men, soldiers, and scientists who opened up the West. In 1540 the Spanish explorer Coronado ventured as far north as present-day Kansas, but the inland routes across the plains remained the sole domain of Native Americans until 1804, when Lewis and Clark skirted the edges on their epic journey of discovery to the Pacific Northwest and Zeb Pike explored the "Great American Desert," as the Great Plains were then known. The Lewis and Clark Expedition had a direct influence on the economy of the West even before the explorers had returned to St. Louis. Private John Colter left the expedition on the way home in 1806 to take up the fur trade business. For the next 20 years the likes of Manuel Lisa, Auguste and Pierre Choteau, William Ashley, James Bridger, Kit Carson, Tom Fitzgerald, and William Sublette roamed the West. These part romantic adventurers, part self-made entrepreneurs, part hermits were called mountain men. By 1829, Jedediah Smith knew more about the West than any other person alive. The Americans became involved in the fur trade in 1810 when John Jacob Astor, at the insistence of his friend Thomas Jefferson, founded the Pacific Fur Company in New York.
