I wrote "Verified" for the title of this review to express my belief that 1950's and 60's Westerns were mostly garbage. I used to be a fan of a lot of them and "Wagon Train" was one of my favorites. This episode has a couple of things in it that prove my point. It is not new, but I saw it again here, whenever a main cast member becomes very involved with a person of the opposite sex, it usually means that the other person is not long for this World. If I had written this I would have preferred she lived and decided to stay with the Indians. The man that shot her was able to hit a moving target from a distance and make a killing shot. This is akin to the good guy shooting the gun out of the bad guy's hand while shooting from the hip. When a cast member ever gets shot, it is always non fatal. To make it even worse, the man who shot her appears to have been given a pass, as we didn't see him hanging from a tree as the wagons resumed their journey. I am not saying that every episode is bad, just most of them. Watch it if you are too happy and want to come down a lot.
