. It was also in that year that Boone was cast in what is his best-known role, the cultured gunfighter Paladin in the highly regarded western series Have Gun - Will Travel (1957). Although a gun for hire, Paladin was usually a moral one, did the job and lived at the Hotel Carlton in San Francisco. Immensely popular, the show made Boone a star. The series lasted six years, and in addition to starring in it, Boone also directed some episodes. He still kept busy on the big screen during the series' run, appearing as Sam Houston in the John Wayne epic The Alamo (1960), and as a weary cavalry captain fighting Indians in A Thunder of Drums (1961). After Have Gun - Will Travel (1957) ended in 1963, Boone hosted a dramatic anthology series, The Richard Boone Show (1963), but it was not successful.

I watched a couple of episodes of “Have Gun Will Travel” this morning. When I was a kid and the show first came on, I thought his name was Wire Paladin.

I have seen that only once. Too depressing. In “Big Jake,” they were all having fun.

Wikipedia says “Paladin” originated in Latin, “palatinus,” officer of the palace. It passed through Italian to French. If it’s used in Scotland, they probably got it from France, with whom they had a long alliance based on opposition to England.
