Featured review
Mormon persecution
Eric Fleming plays the part of a Mormon horse trader whom the Cartwrights are
doing business with and he's a man with two wives Dina Merrill and Lois Nettleton. I think that fact alone arouses the envy that turns to hatred against
this family, they are the only ones in the area.
Lorne Greene and Dan Blocker go back to the Ponderosa, but Michael Landon stay behind to help herd the horses back home.
Landon, Fleming and the women run into all kinds of trouble with an envious and profligate neighbor who'd like one of the women for himself and a new preacher played by Booth Colman who is convinced he's doing battle with the Prince of Darkness himself in trying to convert Lois Nettleton from her evil ways.
Mormons were an incredibly persecuted minority in the 19th century. Polygamy had to be abolished before Utah could become a state which didn't happen until 1897.
Fleming, Merrill, and Nettleton are wonderful in their guest star roles.
