Hostages at Shiloh

[bkoganbing · 7/10 · 25 February 2020]

With all the hands away on roundup the Granger family finds itself between a rock and a hard place when Sara Lane brings in a wounded Peter Deuel for some medicinal tending. Deuel is a notorious outlaw from Nebraska and he's soon joined by Anthony Zerbe one of his gang.

In the meantime a bounty hunter who is played by John Larch who has no problem with backshooting his prey has the Shiloh ranch house surrounded with Lane, John McIntire, and Jeanette Nolan inside. Some scurvy characters all around.

Even though you know this won't end well this is still a fine episode. Sara Lane gets to shine here.

Exciting episode!

Not a review but watching this episode is an absolute must for Pete Duel fans! Don't miss this opportunity to see his brilliant acting,🎭 not so very long before his unfortunate end. May he RIP. 😇

Very Good Episode

This is a very good episode. Elizabeth finds outlaw Jim Dewey wounded, gets her uncle and they take him back to Shiloh where they nurse him back to health. John Larch is perfect in the roll of bounty hunter Ben Hicks who would rather kill his prey than take him back alive. Since Clay thwarts his efforts, he hires n'er do well drifters to help him. Handsome Pete Duel is wonderful as the outlaw Jim Dewey, who teenage Elizabeth falls for and believes all of his lies as well as everthing written about him in dime novels. After all, what teenage girl wouldn't fall for such a hansome, charming man? I know I did when I saw him in Alias Smith and Jones and his death was a tragedy. RIP Pete.
