Hondo

Hondo is a Western television series starring Ralph Taeger, that aired in the United States during the 1967 fall season.

Hondo was based on the film of the same name starring John Wayne, which was in turn based on an early Louis L'Amour novel. It concerned a former Confederate cavalry officer who had moved west following the Civil War and taken an Indian bride, only to see her killed as part of an Indian massacre conducted by troops of the United States Army. Now he and his dog Sam travelled alone, trying to prevent further trouble between the Army and the remaining Indians, but also fighting to counter land grabbers and other outlaws.
