Northwest Passage - Volume 1

A rare television series set during the French and Indian War (1754-1759), Major Rogers Rangers vainly searches for the mythical river passage across the country, battling with Indians or Frenchmen luckless enough to cross their paths. Largely based on the 1940 movie, Keith Larsen replaces Spencer Tracy, Buddy Ebsen plays Walter Brennan's part, and Don Burnett steps in for Robert Young (who was busy on another soundstage in FATHER KNOWS BEST). A western set during a time when Ohio was pure wilderness, this offbeat show remains fondly remembered.
