We looked forward to this show when it was originally broadcast. Well written, tremendous cast led by Horsley and Carter, and the cinematography was outstanding. The mixture of history, literature, humor, and memorable characters were much better than many series on TV today. We've mentioned the show to quite a few people, who never saw it, which perhaps explains why it was canceled. I remember that it was on at different times, probably syndicated, which made it hard to find. I particularly remember recommending it because it was good family fare. We were very disappointed when it was canceled. We'll keep looking for it as a DVD release.

My wife purchased this series on DVD recently for our bed-time 'belly-telly' viewing. We've enjoyed it immensely - only to discover there was only 1 season's worth. What a great disappointment. It was one of the best-done series ever. Great cast, good stories, well told! Lee Horsley and Lynda Carter had good chemistry - as well as the rest of the acting crew. Rodney Grant as Chingachgook was a delightful surprise, as well as Garwin Sanford (stiff upper-lip Capt. Taylor Shields). Maybe the viewing-time was off-center, or the timing of such a series was competing against, yet another, TV falderal. Still, it was a really wonderful series. Sandie and I would give a load of beaver skins to see that series revived! ~Bob & Sandie Shank, Tucson AZ

I had the pleasure of watching this show about five years ago.I remember it starred one of my favorite Native American actors,Rodney A. Grant.He was very good here,although not always privileged by the writers.Lee Horsley was totally unfamiliar to me before this and i was quite satisfied by his work.Stories were good and exciting and the actors didnt fail in their task,i.e. recreating the old time people and all their good and bad sides.Same can be said about the creators of the show.They managed to create a good 18th century America and nice tales.

I watched the show regularly when it was initially syndicated. It wasn't sold very well and the expectations for it apparently weren't high as in this area it was on Saturday afternoons when there wasn't a college game to televise. Maybe they thought the show would be targeted for young children but it really wasn't. The leads were very good and Lynda Carter proved to be beautiful to look at even all covered up 1700s style clothing. If you like this time period and have a chance to catch one of these episodes you should check it out. Each episode was a stand alone but like anything else if you could see it play out over a few episodes you get a better feel for the characters. I was very disappointed when it was canceled, I thought with this entertaining of a show it would find an audience but it probably was buried and not promoted in other markets as well as the local one here. Too bad.

Outstanding show,Stephen J Cannell producer,excellent story telling,good moral principles.Also had a great cast Lee Horsley,Linda Carter,Rodney A Grant, Garwin Stanford .This show must of had virtually no promotion.Just a shame there where not more seasons.
