Black Saddle is a western TV series that ran from January 10, 1959 to May 6, 1960. It aired on NBC and starred
Peter Breck as Clay Culhane, a former gunfighter until he lost his brothers in a shootout. After his brothers were killed, Clay decided to hang up his guns and uphold the law by becoming a lawyer. Clay comes from Marathon Texas.
This short-lived western series was a departure from the usual B-western fare that had dominated the big screen for so many years. Peter Breck (later to be Nick on Big Valley) and Russell Johnson as
the Marshal (Later the Professor on Gilligan's Island) starred in this tale of an ex-gunman who began using the law to subdue the owl hoots who circumvented prairie law and Anna Lisa as the owner of the Travers Hotel in Latigo, NM
