Hoss was also a liberal.
Funny thing though, in 1964 Hoss made a folk song album with John Mitchum (Robert Mitchum’s brother), and John Mitchum campaigned for Goldwater.
I saw John Mitchum at a campaign stop that year.
John Mitchum lived on the edge of my little NorCal
hometown for a time up the hill from a friend of mine.
As to Dan Blocker, he visited my area a few times with
James Drury who had an interest in a local Appaloosa
horse ranch but I never knew about his politics one
way or another.
