Frontier Gentleman – 1958
The Frontier Gentleman was J B Kendall, played by John Dehner, an English journalist and accomplished gunman. He travelled through the west in the 1870s reporting adventures and stories for the London Times. The show successfully combined humour, suspense and human interest. The opening of the show was as follows: “Herewith, and Englishman’s account of life and death in the West. As a reporter for the London Times, he writes his colourful and unusual accounts. But as a man with a gun, he lives and becomes a part of the violent years in the new territories.”
