Boots and Saddles Tidbits

Set at Fort Lowell in the Arizona Territory in the 1880’s, this show was unique in that it portrayed life from the point of view of the Fifth Cavalry as they attempted to co-exist with the Apache.

Gardner McKay, who went on to do Adventures in Paradise, not only survives but is flourishing as an author.
