Carl,Unimpeachable source, no doubt, but which one of the three Mark Twains who appeared on "Bonanza" was this? Howard Duff in the first season? William Challee in 1966? Or Ken Howard in the last season (and Howard was so tall, they had to shoot all of his scenes with the Cartwrights with him sitting down).

It must be historically accurate because it is a TV western, and they =
knew a lot more about historical facts then than we do nowadays.

Sorry you went through all that effort, Kevin, but Hoss beat you to it!
