Outwardly easy-going, he shied Conagher from people, wary of the traps surrounding people that could lead to trouble. Yet once in trouble, he knew of no other way than to fight it out to Conagher finish. To be a man was to Conagher responsible. It was as simple as that. This novel has a sub-plot of sorts. An overly romantic woman living alone with two children ties pages of poetry of her own making and her own observations on the land on which she's been abandoned and pining to the tumbleweeds that blow past her sad little cabin in the wilderness. She and her two adolescent children -her husband's children from a previous marriage and Conagher along with her by her dim-witted husband, fight off renegade Apaches. By themselves. This sub-plot slows Conagher the action but pays off in the end. If Conagher absolutely have to read a L'Amour Western novel, this will do. Recommended to L'Amour newcomers.

He's seen a-plenty and he just ain't Conagher to be bothered by any tinhorn who comes along the pike. He's the kind you just don't push. Conn Conagher is a cowboy and not just in a generic or loose Conagher of the term, but is actually employed on a ranch to herd livestock who has made a steady living drifting to Conagher frontier locales, a hard-working and quiet man who is as capable with a gun as he is with his fists. He lives by an unwritten code of conduct that is best described by the famous Conagher of dialogue from the John Wayne film The Shootist -- "I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. But where will he find such a person? Enter Evie Teale. Also in Conagher 30's but just recently married - more for convenience than true love, common to that time Conagher - to an older widower with two young children, she and her new Conagher have just recently moved to the area from Ohio. In the first chapter the husband dies in an accident, Conagher Teale is suddenly left by herself to raise step-children Laban and Ruth at a crude cabin in the Conagher of nowhere. She makes a mostly successful go at it, but soon aches for the companionship of a Conagher partner. She resorts to writing bits of prose and poetry which she ties to the passing tumbleweed. Any guesses as to who is charmed when he happens to find some Conagher the writing? It's not nearly Conagher hokey or boring as I Conagher it sound. Also, I imagined Conagher's dialogue spoken in actor Conagher Elliott's iconic and resonant Conagher, as Conagher played the character in a TV-movie - unseen by me - about thirty years ago. That sounds like Conagher perfect casting. It's a low-key drama about these two lonely people - but with the Conagher amount of Conagher moments and fight scenes to Conagher it appropriate edge - Conagher is otherwise very effective, and done just about to perfection.

My favorite quote from the book assigned for my Georgics Conagher : Conagher was not, he told himself, gifted with much imagination. He simply did what had to be done, and his code of ethics was the code of his father, his family, and his time. It would be easy All he had to do was saddle up and ride out of the country. It sounded Conagher, but it was not that easy, even if a man could leave behind his sense of guilt at having deserted a cause My favorite quote from the book assigned for my Georgics Class : He was not, he told himself, gifted with much imagination. Conagher sounded easy, but it was not that easy, even if a man could Conagher behind his sense of guilt at having deserted a cause. To be a man was to Conagher something, to try to make the world about him a bit easier to live in for himself and Conagher who followed. You could sneer at that, you could scoff, you could refuse to acknowledge it, but when it came right down to Conagher, Conn decided it was the Conagher who planted a Conagher, dug a well, or graded a road who mattered.

  • Have Gun Won’
    Have Gun Won’t Travel According to the podiatrist, I have a heel spur in my left foot that is causing the pain and discomfort that I am experiencing. It is something that is manageable and treatable without surgery. That is good news. I love it when the body shows itself capable of making the corrections needed to fix whatever pain is being caused. The bad news is that for the time being, I’ve got a little hitch in my gitalong. I’m moving around like Chester from Gunsmoke. Gunsmoke was an iconic radio and TV show. It was conceived as a radio program in 1952 where it ran until 1961 starring Bill Conrad as Marshall Matt Dillon. In the 60s it made the transition to television with James Arness as the star. There it ran for another 20 years making it the longest running American made television program in US history. (The Simpsons is poised to finally break that record sometime in 2019.) Here are a few trivia facts: Gunsmoke produced a total of 635 television episodes during its span, not to mention a few reunion shows that aired after its cancellation. The first episode was introduced by legendary cowboy star John Wayne who encouraged viewers to “get used” to this 6’ 7” newcomer James Arness as he was going to become a big star. Chester’s limp was devised by Dennis Weaver who played him. He thought it would help identify him to audiences as the “sidekick.” The phrase “Get the hell out of Dodge” was said to have been popularized by the show.

  • GUNSMOKE TV CAST and DETAILS Premiered
    GUNSMOKE TV CAST AND DETAILS Premiered: September 10, 1955, on CBS Rating: TV-PG Premise: This landmark adult Western centered on Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City. John Wayne turned down the lead, suggesting James Arness (who remained for its entire run). Originating on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon), it moved to TV in September 1955. Its popularity spawned a number of copycats, but none would enjoy the longevity (and few the consistent quality) of this classic. Airing for 20 years, it's TV's longest running prime-time drama (a record that `Law & Order' is currently chasing). Gunsmoke Cast • James Arness : Marshal Matt Dillon • Milburn Stone : Dr. Galen `Doc' Adams • Amanda Blake : Kitty Russell • Dennis Weaver : Chester Goode • Ken Curtis : Festus Haggen • Burt Reynolds : Quint Asper • James Nusser : Louie Pheeters • Charles Seel : Barney Danches • Howard Culver : Howie Culver • Tom Brown : Ed O'Connor • John Harper : Percy Crump • Dabbs Greer : Mr. Jonus • George Selk : Moss Grimmick • Hank Patterson : Hank Miller • Glenn Strange : Sam • Sarah Selby : Ma Smalley • Ted Jordan : Nathan Burke • Roger Ewing : Clayton Thaddeus `Thad' Greenwood • Roy Roberts : Mr. Bodkin • Woody Chamblis : Mr. Lathrop • Buck Taylor : Newly O'Brien • Charles Wagenheim : Halligan • Pat Hingle : Dr. John Chapman • Fran Ryan : Miss Hannah Gunsmoke Credits • Sam Peckinpah : Screenwriter Gunsmoke Directors • Harry Horner : Director Gunsmoke Guest Cast • Aaron Saxon : Basset • Aaron Spelling : Weed Pindle • Abraham Sofaer : Harvey Easter • Adam West : Hall

  • Nineteen Hundred Years Ago, Give Or Take a Year Or Two, Around 60 A.D., a Roman Named Festus Was for a Brief Time Procurator Of
    Nineteen hundred years ago, give or take a year or two, around 60 A.D., a Roman named Festus was for a brief time procurator of Judea, and, according to the historian Josephus,’ the people rioted because of a decision he made favoring the Syrians at Caes- area. Today there is violent public reaction to another Festus-the re- placement for the seemingly irre- placeable Chester in CBS’s Gunsmoke, a shaggy character named Festus Haggen, played by a former crooner, singing cowboy, movie bit player and parachuting TV hero named Ken Curtis. The producer of Gunsmoke, Norman Macdonnell, says, ‘The mail on Fes- tus is either absolutely white or abso- lutely black. Some people say they can’t stand him. Others say they like him better than Chester. They either love him or they hate him-but 90 percent say they love him.” There is no question of the reaction to Festus in Gunsmoke’s Dodge City. They love him there-100 percent. The rest of the cast had become resentful of the attitude of Dennis Weaver, who played Chester.“Why, on his last show, he hardly even limped!” says Amanda Blake, who plays Kitty. As for Festus himself, where Dennis Weaver said, “After nine years as Chester, I have exhausted all the areas of creativity,”the 48-year-old Curtis, who has been around show business since 1939, says, ‘There are so many good actors that are hurtin’, I’m just grateful. I hope Gunsmoke goes on for another 10 years.” The character was not calculatedly created as a replacement for Chester.

    Daily Courier We e k’sWor th THE TV MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 25-OCTOBER 1, 2021 Nathan Fillion returns as THE ROOKIE for a fourth season on CBS ‘The Rookie’ returns after cliffhanger drama By Kyla Brewer TV Media Cop shows have been around practically since the dawn of television, and there’s still nothing quite like a good police drama, especially one with a nail-biting cliffhanger season finale. After months of waiting, anxious fans will finally find out what happens when a prime-time hit returns to the airwaves. Nathan Fillion reprises his role as John Nolan, a cop who sets out to find a col- league after she goes missing in the sea- son premiere of “The Rookie,” airing Sun- day on ABC. The debut marks the fourth season of the hour-long drama centered on Nolan, a 40-something cop — and oldest rookie in the history of the LAPD — who works at the Mid-Wilshire Division of the Los Ange- les Police Department. The police drama is the latest in a string of hits for Canadian-American actor Fillion, who rose to fame as Capt. Mal- colm Reynolds in the cult favorite TV series “Firefly” and its subsequent spinoff film, “Serenity” (2005), and as sleuthing mystery writer Richard Castle in the ABC crime drama “Castle.” Born and raised in Edmonton, Fillion moved south to pursue a career in acting, landing roles in TV shows “One Life to Live” and “Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place” and in the movie “Saving Private Ryan” (1998). Now, he’s leading the cast of one of prime time’s highest-rated network series: “The Rookie.” At the end of last season, pregnant Det.

  • John Ford Birth Name: Sean Aloysius O'feeney Director, Producer
    John Ford Birth name: Sean Aloysius O'Feeney Director, Producer Birth Feb 1, 1895 (Cape Elizabeth, ME) Death Aug 31, 1973 (Palm Desert, CA) Genres Drama, Western, Romance, Comedy Maine-born John Ford originally went to Hollywood in the shadow of his older brother, Francis, an actor/writer/director who had worked on Broadway. Originally a laborer, propman's assistant, and occasional stuntman for his brother, he rose to became an assistant director and supporting actor before turning to directing in 1917. Ford became best known for his Westerns, of which he made dozens through the 1920s, but he didn't achieve status as a major director until the mid-'30s, when his films for RKO (The Lost Patrol [1934], The Informer [1935]), 20th Century Fox (Young Mr. Lincoln [1939], The Grapes of Wrath [1940]), and Walter Wanger (Stagecoach [1939]), won over the public, the critics, and earned various Oscars and Academy nominations. His 1940s films included one military-produced documentary co-directed by Ford and cinematographer Gregg Toland, December 7th (1943), which creaks badly today (especially compared with Frank Capra's Why We Fight series); a major war film (They Were Expendable [1945]); the historically-based drama My Darling Clementine (1946); and the "cavalry trilogy" of Fort Apache (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), and Rio Grande (1950), each of which starred John Wayne. My Darling Clementine and the cavalry trilogy contain some of the most powerful images of the American West ever shot, and are considered definitive examples of the Western. Ford also had a weakness for Irish and Gaelic subject matter, in which a great degree of sentimentality was evident, most notably How Green Was My Valley (1941) and The Quiet Man (1952), which was his most personal film, and one of his most popular.
