“Clint Eastwood, you are a Great American!!!”
Sure Rowdy is cool but trail boss Gil Favor was his mentor.
Tall and rugged like Rowdy (Eastwood) Favor (Eric Fleming) would have served America further if he had not died at age 41 in that river in Peru. When one thinks of perfect casting one can’t do better than Fleming as a trail boss.
Yes, he was great too. I remember him.
Wasn’t Ward Bond in that series also?
I agree with your assessment of the character of Gil Favor.
I grew up in the early 60’s and never missed an episode of Rawhide.
A couple of years ago I started buying Rawhide again through
Amazon. I’m up to the fourth season now.
Might I suggest The Virginian also...James Drury playing the part of The Virginian is almost as equal as Gil Favor.
Pretty close that is...
