I recall a horse with no name.....but I digress.....

"Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy"

That was the real Man With No Name.

[IndispensableDestiny]

Um, no. Uomo senza nome is the one and only Clint Eastwood as appearing in A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).

Your man is an imposter.

Interesting article. I didn’t know he brought that kind of real-life experience to the role. I grew up watching that show, among others. The theme music has always been one of my favorites. I remember going through Wyoming on vacation as a kid, and getting a big charge out of seeing the signs for Medicine Bow. These days, I watch “Gunsmoke” regularly, but I’ll catch “The Virginian” when I can. As I recall, it was off the air for a long time, and I was glad to see it available again.

Of course the interview was done before he passed in April. The Virginian is a great Western series, and it had good plots and some really interesting guest stars. A personal favorite is Drury’s performance in Ride the High Country as bad guy Billy Hammond.

You can call me what ever you want, as long as you say it with a smile...

The author must be dialed in to other worlds. James Drury died last April.

Well in any case, talk about timing. James or Jacob, same name. It’s all a jumble. The Man with No Name could be Marty Mcfly, Calvin Klein, or a high plains drifter:

Gen 32

25. And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day:
26. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him:
27. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks; And he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me:
28. And he said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob:
29. And he said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel; for as a prince you have power with God and with men, and have prevailed:
30. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I beg you, your name; And he said, Why is it that you ask after my name? And he blessed him there:
31. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for I have seen God face to face, and my life [soul, nefesh] is preserved:

Thanks for this article! I have watched and still watch James Drury in The Virginian. He was a great actor. True to life. He just may have been a better actor than the Duke, whom I enjoyed. J.D’s character never changed. I’lll miss him now that he is gone. But we still have his essence on the screen.

Never saw it back in the day. Watched a few episodes lately. Thought it was more of a western soap opera . I guessed it was more aimed at the ladies.

[Enterprise]

"The Shiloh ranch was named after the two-day American Civil War Battle of Shiloh, Tenn."

The woke crowd would demand that the show be cancelled because of a reference to a civil war battle in the South.
