A less-likely western legend you'll never find than the tall, aristocratic Englishman traveling the rugged frontier on assignment for a London newspaper. John Dehner stars as J. B. Kendall, telling the engrossing everyday stories of a nation in its rowdy adolescence. Preachers and prospectors, librarians and legends, veterans and villains all fall under the gaze of this wry, understated observer -- a man who usually couldn't resist putting aside his journalistic objectivity just long enough to get involved.
