Duel at Shiloh

Episode Number: 15    Season Num: 1    First Aired: January 2, 1963    Prod Code: n/a
This episode explains how Steve Hill came to work at Shiloh Ranch. Running away from home to become a cowhand he meets grizzled cowboy Johnny Wade (Brian Keith) who takes him under his wing and gets him a job working at a new ranch owned by Georgia Price (Geraldine Brooks). Georgia's plan is to make a huge profit quickly at the expense of destroying the common range by overgrazing. She uses her feminine wiles to get Johnny to head up her plan and their actions bring them into conflict with Judge Garth and eventually, with Steve Hill. Steve leaves to work at Shiloh and is forced into a showdown with his former friend and mentor Johnny.

Notes

add »
The writing credits for this episode are more complex than normal and read: Teleplay: Don Ingalls. Based on a screenplay by Borden Chase and D. D. Beauchamp and the novel "Man Without a Star" by Dee Linford. (edit)
This is the first series entry in which the actual title of the episode is given and, as would be the case in all subsequent episodes, it appears near the beginning of the episode itself along with the major behind the scenes contributors such as the Executive Producer and Writer. (edit)
Trampas is absent from this episode, which makes sense as in the flashback episode in which his coming to Shiloh is revealed (Season 2, Episode 1, "Ride a Dark Trail') Steve Hill is already a hand at the ranch. Frank Sully who would later regularly appear as the saloon bartender Danny in several episodes, appears as the hotel clerk here. (edit)
