A Place to HideEpisode Number: 413 Season Num: 13 First Aired: Sunday March 19, 1972 Prod Code: n/a |
The Cartwrights are once again brought in the middle of the Civil War. This time, the wife of former Civil War Col. Cody Ransom brings her young daughter to the Ponderosa, trying to pick up the pieces of their lives. However, Ben soon learns that Col. Ransom may be trying to search for his family. However, Union Maj. Donahue has been pursing Ransom and his men for many years after the war ended, and has refused to accept anybody's terms of surrender – especially since Donahue considers capturing Ransom a personal matter.

This was also the final episode filmed with Ray Teal (as Sheriff Roy Coffee), although he did appear in the 13th season finale, "One Ace Too Many," that aired two weeks later.
(edit)
Filmed in January 1972, this Civil War-fallout tale was the final episode filmed with Dan Blocker. Less than two months after this episode's original airing, Bobby Dan Davis Blocker - the "Gentle Giant" of the Ponderosa - passed away from a blood clot in his lung, following surgery.
