Salt Lake Raiders (1950) Allan 'Rocky' Lane 

I love his horse whispering where in no way the bad guy could hear it.

I was born in 1951 and love Sky King and Highway Patrol also Roy Roger's Show.

@@shirleyallen9108 Me too.

He had a great horse

I dont deal very well with RU-vid bug if an answer is possible,id like tô know the name of the movie and how to see It in wich Rocky Lane go inside an old mine and lights up a mach with shot

His hat never falls off because, like any good Marine, it's screwed down tight! That's why they call 'em jarheads. What I never could figure out is why, when they're 100 miles from the nearest hardware store, whenever the shooting starts, they have to break every pane of glass they see!!😮

Ben Johnson later was an excellent rider… he trained other actors. He grew up on a working ranch.

Ken Maynard seldom did also, as big as it was.

Wow!! Ya think??

VERN...You make an old man's mind and heart feel awful good Sir. Many decades ago ( 9 kids & never much money in our family) I'd pick berries by the quart and sell them or get a good supply of giant night crawlers for the many resorts in northern midwest...for the tourists to go fishing...and off I'd go to watch the 2 main features, a cartoon, also a Captain Marvel 12 or 15 week serial or maybe Captain Cody or even Zombies of the Stratosphere...and a newsreel. I always had at least 25 cents; 12 cents for daytime saturday matinee and 13 cents for the ice cream store or popcorn stand right on the same block. Penny candy was still 2 "squirrels" or 2 "Mary Jane" peanut butter candies...jawbreakers and Holloway taffy suckers that lasted for a couple hours. We were allowed to watch the whole thing twice if you got there by noon-6p.m. and out before the lovers and married couples came at 7p.m. for Doris Day or ? Knowing what I know now, I'd love to go back to northern Wisconsin about 1950 and see that again. Rocky Lane was my favorite western cowboy, Randolph Scott too...Oh my!...thank goodness for memories, friend... wl

What happened to Clay McCord when Silver City became a ghost town?

Clay McCord said to a customer in his store “Have you ever thought that if no-one carried guns, there would be no killings? The best advice I can give you is, don’t put the gun back on.” If every week there really was a bank or stagecoach robbery, it would be no wonder that the people moved away and Silver City became a ghost town. North Fork would have been the same. Lucas MacCain shot 120 really bad guys in his five year reign of television. All that death from robbery and getting gun whipped and no-one suffered anything like the ptsd of modern western life where ‘One punch can kill’ is the order of the day.

Child of the Creator God 😆 that's funny

Isaiah Pope ..."they're" awesome

Maybe he went to learn English.

Los tred reyes los dos

Him too.

There was only one marshal in the salt lake area. He was also know as the most feared man in the west. No lawman ever came close to what old Porter Rockwell did! Most of the b-western movies were based on his deeds!

Same for this dude.

ALAN...You are kidding right? After Allan "Rocky" Lane did his last big screen movie in 1953, he did a lot of TV westerns, I saw him on Gunsmoke 3 times I remember and Roy Barcroft, Myron Healey, Lane Adams and a few others that became regulars mostly in Rocky Lane movies were many, many times on Gunsmoke too...Others fades in my mind right now, BUT he was from 1960-1966 the voice of Mr ED on TV and Rocky had one of the finest voices of any actor. Sadly Rocky died from cancer in 1973, only 64. He seemed a bit more mature in those old westerns. I made sure I had my 12 cents for the saturday matinee when he was going to be on. The rest of my quarter, 13 cents, got me a bag of candy or ice cream. What a time for a young kid with imagination and loving movies and reading good books.

It depends on the weight of the passengers. The heavier the passengers, the more horses. LOL

Steep terrain required more horse-power, some stages were bigger than others and therefore heavier so needed more horses. Some trips had to be faster than others and needed more horses so each individual had to use less energy and could go for longer. Also, some wrangler people hired by the film crews only had 4 horse teams and some companies had 6 horse teams. 6 horses are much harder to drive than 4 so the competence of the drivers back in the day, as well as the film crews, were a part of it also. I would like to know why the old timer thought a 'rig' would have rotted in 6 years, especially in a dry climate?

@@payntpot7623 Since you seem to know this stuff I have a question. Can a stagecoach with 2, 4,or 6 horses go faster than bad hombres on horses following behind them? That is if the bad guys don't kill the driver. Second question. How do runaway stagecoach horses determine when to slow down and stop?

This show is alslfunny all the time😀😀😀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why are you here then?
