But I’m wondering if the episode some people on this thread are referring to, is the one where the pioneer is lost in the desert on a wagon train. The wagon train stops, and they are trying to find food. One man takes his gun and goes over a nearby hill (or ridge) to go hunting. But He goes over the hill and to his shock, finds himself in a very strange place, and a bewildering situation. He is in the future, and doesn’t know it! (possibly late 50s-early 60s).

He is astounded and a bit frightened as he sees a huge truck barreling up a big, long, modern highway close by him. He meets these very-modern people in a diner, and doesn’t understand why they dress very different than he does. There is a doctor there, and he (the pioneer) tries to tell these modern people who he is and why he’s there!

They think he’s sick or something, but the doctor talks to him and somehow when listening to the man, (after telling him his name and that his son was sick) the doctor is astonished that he knew of a famous doctor featured in a medical book who had the same name as the pioneer’s son!

The doctor starts to act like he believes the man, or thinks it’s possible that something strange happened to him when he came over the hill. He gives the man some medication for his son and lets him go. He seems to think the man’s kid became the famous doctor. Some of the people try to follow the man to see where he was going to. However, he disappears and all they find is a mysterious rifle on the ground!

The man goes back to his own time, and rejoins his pioneer group in the wagon train and tells them what happened to him. He gives the boy the medicine, and (presumably) he recovers as they go on their way! I don’t know if this is the episode some on the thread were talking about. But article made me think of it!
