Yep – Death Valley Days was one of the longest running series – and all of the shows were based on true stories – especially these early shows – check me out for the whole story of the twenty mule team!
Who was “The Old Ranger”? Does anyone know? Isn’t he the guy who hit George Bailey in “It’s a Wonderful Life”?
I can’t get through the opening without getting a big lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. What I wouldn’t give to have America back the way it was when I was small and this was on TV at the time.
Nowadays the only cultural heritage hollywood seems to care about (and by that, I mean obsess) is the hippie movement, 60′s, and woodstock. It’s like they think that was our finest hour.
What a wondrous time it was in America when our entertainment was based on an interesting story line and our magnificent heritage.
one of those kids was Gilbert from leave it to beaver
Considering its incredible run on RADIO and then TV, it was among the longest-running format shows in American broadcast history. Dennis
This episode was first syndicated in 1953; unfortunately, the “Borax” ads (usually featuring Rosemary DeCamp gently pitching the sponsor’s product) were omitted from this print. In 1956, “Pacific Coast Borax” became “U.S. Borax and Chemical Corporation”.
LOL , Miss Hannah Doty must be a cannibal at 4:22 she says ” I don’t usually sleep folks just eat em’.
Thanks. Death Valley Days was a great series.
