A lot later but "Hell on Wheels" with Anson Mount as former Confederate Cullen Bohannon whose wife had been killed by Union soldiers.
Dude! Clint is my Main Man.. I am sure many remember that Clint Eastwood played Rowdy Yates.
Good show. Yancy was Sally Fields father.I am not sure I ever watched it.
didn't John Payne live in Salem, Virginia or near Roanoke. It seems I remember this from when I was a wee lad spending time with my grand parents.It starred John Payne as Vint Bonner , a wanderer in the post war west . It ran for 2 seasons from 1957 to 1959 . I was very young when this aired , but I remember John Payne in a western .
He was born in Roanoke .didn't John Payne live in Salem, Virginia or near Roanoke. It seems I remember this from when I was a wee lad spending time with my grand parents.
And who could forget the irascible and grumpy but lovable Doc Adams. His interactions with Festus were always good for a laugh.GunSmoke ran longer, Chester/Festus...Miss Kitty

And a trivia tidbit - Doc mentions in one Gunsmoke episode that he was a US Army surgeon during the Civil War. I think it was the Mannon episode with Steve Forrest as a former member of Quantrill's raiders.And who could forget the irascible and grumpy but lovable Doc Adams.

Who could forget F-Troop. Well, I did until you reminded me. I don't know why I watched it but I liked it. Maybe it was because we only got 1 of the 3 major networks on our 25-foot antenna.Not exactly in the same category, but Trooper Duffy (Bob Steele) on "F-Troop"
"All but one man died...there at Bitter Creek...and they say he ran away...BRANDED!"I don't recall much about Branded --- except for the opening scene where they cut off his rank and buttons. That is ALL that I remember.
Ben Canfield was played by Dwyane Hickman, Dwight (Dobie Gillis)Hickman's brother. Or do I have them backwards?Who can name a TV show that used a Confederate soldier or ex-Confederate soldier?
Let me start with the 1961 TV show The Americans. Ben Canfield was a Union solider and his bother Jeff was a Confederate soldier. The show only lasted 17 episodes. The two bothers fought in battles, went on secret missions. Ben was captured and sent to Libby Prison. All in all the show was not great and was not a real success. The Civil War uniforms were inaccurate. Anyone remember this TV show?
Darryl Hickman was in The Americans . His brother Dwayne played Dobie Gillis .Ben Canfield was played by Dwyane Hickman, Dwight (Dobie Gillis)Hickman's brother. Or do I have them backwards?
Oops, shows you how "good" my memory is!But it served its purpose , the correct answer is out there for all to see.Darryl Hickman was in The Americans . His brother Dwayne played Dobie Gillis .
