Part II o our TV Western Series
Happy Trails
The show starred Roy Rogers as a ranch ownerof the “Double R Ranch”, Dale Evans as the propri-
etor of the Eureka Cafe in ctional Mineral City, and
Pat Brady as Roy’s sidekick. Animal stars included:Trigger (Roy’s horse), Buttermilk (Dale’s horse),Bullet (their dog).Typical episodes followed the stars as they res-cued the weak and helpless from the clutches of dis-honest lawmen, claim jumpers, rustlers, and other“bad guys”.When Trigger died, Roy had him stuffed. He al-ways said that he wanted Dale to have him stuffedand put astride Trigger again when the time came.The Rogers had many happy trails from 1951-1957.
Move’em out
Set in the 1860s, Rawhide portrays the challeng-es faced by the men of a cattle drive. Usually theepisode would be introduced by Gil Favor but some-times by others. The typical Rawhide story involveddrovers, portrayed by Eric Fleming (Trail Boss GilFavor) and Clint Eastwood (ramrod Rowdy Yates),coming upon people on the trail and getting drawninto solving whatever problem they presented orwere confronting.Rawhide aired for eight seasons on the CBS net-work on January 9, 1959 to until January 4, 1966,with a total of 217 black-and-white episodes.
Rapid Fire
The Rieman western television program starred

Territory. The show, lmed in black-and-white, ran
on ABC, from September 30, 1958 to April 8, 1963.
Westerns were popular when The Rieman pre
-
miered, and producers struggled to nd gimmicks to
distinguish one showfrom another. The
Rieman’s gimmickwas a modied Win
-chester Model 1892
rie with a trigger
mechanism allowing
for rapid-re shots.
