Of The High Chaparral and the Civil War By Jane Rodgers

Leif Erickson, Linda Cristal, Mark Slade, Henry Darrow & Cameron Mitchell

“Gettysburg was the price the South paid for Robert E. Lee.”Historian Shelby Foote

The High Chaparral is rife with allusions to the Civil War.  Even the most casual viewer quickly learns John fought for the Union while Buck signed on with the Confederacy. Arizona provides a new post-Civil War start for the brothers Cannon and family.

In the fourth season’s episode “The Badge,” John and Buck recall Gettysburg. “You were at Gettysburg?” Buck asks John. “You too?” the elder Cannon replies. “Ain’t that something? You and me takin’ pot shots at Gettysburg without knowin’ it,” says Buck, who in this prequel episode set in 1866 is clearly more interested in avoiding a murder charge than in reminiscing about the good old days in Pennsylvania. “The Badge” is not the first High Chaparral episode to include references to Gettysburg.

Buck tells Jake Lanier, his former captain who has commandeered the Hacienda Montoya in “The Filibusteros,” that experiences at Gettysburg and elsewhere in the war have made him think little worth dying for any more. Lanier recalls seeing Buck “high tailing it across that field in Pennsylvania with five of my best men, blowing up that ammunition pile.”

Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, in which Buck often proclaims having served as part of the Fifth Virginia infantry, only crossed into northern territory twice during the war: once at Antietam in Maryland, and the other, into Gettysburg.  After turning down Lincoln’s offer of the Union command in the early days of the Civil War, Robert E. Lee had resigned his commission in the United States Army, pledging in a letter to his old commander, General Winfield Scott, “Save in defense of my native state shall I never again draw my sword.” Lee’s words prove prophetic. Each time Lee took the offensive in the Civil War, venturing north of Virginia, he failed. As long as Lee kept the war on a defensive footing, he generally won.

If Buck Cannon did serve at Gettysburg, he was as lucky to make it out alive as Lee’s army was to escape across the Potomac after the third day of the carnage. Actually, if Buck were at Gettysburg, it’s likely he was more than lucky. It’s likely he was nearly superhuman, the 19^th century equivalent of Superman or the Flash, because it seems Buck also served at Vicksburg. In “The Buffalo Soldiers,” Buck remembers serving in Mississippi when talking to the soldier who is fixing Mano’s boot. “Hey, Corporal, small world. I was at Vicksburg fighting for the Rebels,” Buck announces. “I was on the other side of the creek, Mister, firing right back at you,” rejoins the corporal.

The battle of Gettysburg occurred from July 1-3, 1863. It involved Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, to which the Fifth Virginia, Buck’s regiment, was attached. The 47 day siege of Vicksburg ended on July 4, 1863, when CSA Lieutenant General Pemberton and his half-starved men surrendered the city to Grant’s forces. Could even Buck Cannon be in two places at once? Had he been present at the siege of Vicksburg, he would have been trapped inside the city. And Buck would not have been with his oft touted Fifth Virginia regiment. Pemberton’s unit was under the overall command of General Joseph E. Johnson in what was considered the western theater of the war.

How could even Buck have been in two places at once? True, throughout the course of the series, he manages to sport enough hair colors to make a stylist do a double take, sometimes in the same season. Maybe Buck’s mysterious military service is as magical as Victoria’s magic closet which seamlessly offers clothes of every size to whatever underdressed female happens along. Fashion is uppermost on the High Chaparral.

Here’s my theory, because we know Buck would not lie. Nor could avid historian David Dortort have allowed such mistakes, although he may have misjudged the Civil War savvy of his audience. Buck must have been dispatched from the Fifth Virginia as a messenger to Pemberton in Mississippi, tasked with acquiring intelligence and returning to report to Lee. I refuse to think that Jake Lanier had the authority to send Buck on such a mission, but no one could say no to Bobby Lee, least of all good old Virginia boy Buck. Buck was not in the prolonged siege of Vicksburg, but rather participated in the battle preceding the siege: the initial assault upon Vicksburg which occurred on May 19 and 22. Pemberton inflicted massive casualties upon Grant as the assault was fought to a bloody draw. Grant realized he could only win by waiting out the Confederates who had retreated within the city walls. Grant, at his best when fighting, eventually turned to drinking during the waiting game. Somehow, in the early days of the siege, Buck must have escaped through enemy lines in the confusion. Perhaps he shed his Confederate grays for black leather…and changed his height by donning those moccasin boots he favored in season one. Buck Cannon can do anything.

Regardless, he must have hoofed it up to Pennsylvania just in time for the three days of hell called Gettysburg.  Knowing Buck, he likely ran across that “field in Pennsylvania” with the division of dandified General George Pickett, whose casualties were massive in the third day’s bloodbath, Pickett’s Charge—a futile infantry attack across an open field into the jaws of death, or in this case, massive Yankee artillery. Possibly Jake Lanier lurked safely behind some tree during the slaughter. Pickett never forgave Lee for sacrificing his men needlessly. Jake Lanier never forgot Buck.

We know that John Cannon recovered from Gettysburg in time to be present at Petersburg where he cut off the arm of Finley Carr in one of the final engagements of the Civil War.  Somewhere along the way, John, rigid and rule abiding, also found time to capture and turn in his old pal from back home, Jim Forrest, to a Union POW camp, thus adding Forrest to the long list of ex-Confederates who wished to see John Cannon dead. Thankfully, none succeed and the Cannons live on at the High Chaparral, having survived the war, Cochise, and numerous former Confederates with grudges aplenty. Perhaps a fifth season would have brought still another Rebel blast from the past…Blue, returning from his mysterious absence, toting a mysterious stranger: his fiancée—a young lady who is the daughter of another crazed ex-Confederate seeking retribution. Alas, we shall never know.

Part II-A Gem of the Old West

There may be a few steam locomotives around that are famous in Hollywood productions; however the most famous engine of Hollywood film and television is that of Sierra #3, which is located at the Railtown 1897 State Historic Park in Jamestown, California. In the last 94 years, she has appeared in more movies, documentaries, and TV shows than any other locomotive. In fact two of our most revered and talented actors, Don Collier and Bob Hoy, also appeared with her in a Little House segment called “The Runaway Caboose” with Don as the Engineer and Bob as the Fireman.

above-Don Collier as “Schultz’ (Left) and Bobby Hoy (Middle) as the fireman, Conductor unknown. 

The Sierra #3 was built in 1891 by the Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works of Paterson, New Jersey for the Prescott and Arizona Central Railway. Two short years later, the owner went bankrupt and moved to Tuolumne and Calaveras counties in California bringing with him much of his railroad equipment including the Sierra #3. After reorganizing, he started the Sierra Railway Company for the timber and mining operations in the area. During those years, her first opportunity to debut in a movie was in 1920 with the silent film called The Terror with Tom Mix. Things dramatically slowed for the company, and as a result of the Great Depression, the Sierra Railway went into bankruptcy. Following the Depression in 1937, the railroad was reorganized as the Sierra Railroad Company; however, Sierra #3 continued to sit dormant on a sidetrack in Jamestown for 14 years. That was, until 1946 when a Hollywood producer, David O. Selznick, wanted to destroy her in a scene of the movie called Duel in the Sun.  The railways master mechanic at the time persuaded the owners that the engine only needed minor repairs to maintain her after sitting so long, and not to allow her this fate. Fortunately, due to these minor repairs, she was spared a destructive ending, and in May of 1948 she began what was to become her future of passenger excursions.

Over the next five decades, she has appeared in many movies such as High Noon, Unforgiven, The Virginian, The Great Race, The Perils of Pauline, The Apple Dumping Gang Rides Again, Pale Rider, and Back to the Future III.  In the Back to the Future III segment, there is a scene where the engine goes over a cliff, but with the use of a miniature scale train made to resemble the famed engine, she is spared destruction yet once again.

Back to the Future III miniature scale  

The Sierra #3 has also been seen in such television shows as The Lone Ranger, Rawhide, Lassie, Tales of Wells Fargo, Casey Jones, Overland Trail, Death Valley Days, The Raiders, Petticoat Junction, The Wild, Wild West, The Big Valley, The Legend of Jesse James, Cimarron Strip, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie, Father Murphy, The A-Team, and Bonanza: The Next Generation. Today, she remains a major attraction at the Railtown 1897 State Historic Park in Jamestown and is glorious as ever after an extensive overhaul which concluded in 2010 so that she may be enjoyed for generations to come. “All Aboard!”

A Gem of the Old West

Ever wonder why a train didn’t roll through Tucson in any of the 1870’s-era The High Chaparral episodes? In reality, trains were not introduced in Tucson until the 1880’s and so travel there was by the Stagecoach lines. Yet, on any trip to the Old Tucson studios west of Tucson, you may come across an iron horse called The Reno with an attached tender. Some people may not realize the wonderful history that this old engine has to offer. It was built in 1872 by the Baldwin Company, shortly after the Transcontinental Railroad was completed which linked both the East and the West coasts. The Reno, No. 11, is a 65,000 pound relic that was built to link Virginia City to Reno, Nevada, where in 1872 was used to serve the Comstock Lode mining and railroading business. Owned by the Virginia & Truckee Railroad, the engine was considered their gem of the line and allowed passengers to venture north so that it would be possible to travel west to San Francisco or places out East. According to the Gold Hill Daily News on September 2, 1972 the following was written:
“The train stopped at Virginia only about half an hour, and returned to Reno, the passengers remaining at Virginia. The locomotive Reno is the largest and best on the road – equal to the best on the Central Pacific. It is finished in very tasteful and handsome style, the cylinders being trimmed off with brass and all the other work elaborately and elegantly finished, On the occasion the Reno was beautifully decorated with flowers, wreaths, ribbons, flags, etc., and looked splendidly, attracting a large crowd at the depot.”

The Reno in 1878

She ran on those tracks up until 1932 and had carried not only freight and passengers but was also used specifically to carry two US presidents, Ulysses S. Grant, and Theodore Roosevelt when they had ventured out West. After the Depression, she was sold in the 1930s to Paramount Pictures in Hollywood and was used in several movies such as Union Pacific, Annie Get Your Gun and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, along with many other B films. Then in 1970 she was brought to Old Tucson Studios as an attraction and was used in several production films. During the following years, she appeared on many television shows such as Little House on the Prairie, The Wild Wild West; and the movies Support Your Local Gunfighter, Joe Kidd, The Young Pioneers, The Villain, El Diablo, and Gunsmoke III among others. As fate would have it, a devastating fire at the studios in 1995 destroyed all of the wood on the engine and its tender, leaving a charred hulk of iron behind. Two short years later, she has revived once again, like a Phoenix that rose from the ashes, as Hollywood saved her and restored her just enough to appear in the film Wild Wild West.  Since then she has been dormant in the same location at Old Tucson. Hopefully, someday someone will restore her to the original beauty that she once was-the gem of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad line.  Well, as luck would have it,  Tom Gray, owner of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, responded and secured the famed #11 engine from Old Tucson Studios in 2021 with plans for a full restoration. That restoration process is now in progress in Carson City, Nevada.  One thing is for certain, though, she is back home where she started all those years ago!

A Trip To The Store

Life was difficult on the frontier for the Cannon’s and many others venturing out west. When these men and women arrived to settle in an unfamiliar territory, disappointment may have often been the norm. Whether there was a building or not to claim, it was necessary to have a structure to settle in. With the ongoing need for provisions, the nearest outpost or town would be a good place to start. Chances are these young towns were very crude and raw in form, not like those back East that were organized, civilized and established. These tough resilient people learned how to survive given the challenges that they were dealt. The towns were mostly full of men, but some only had a few women, and many of them were ‘working’ women, such as the ones in brothel houses or business owners.

 
Tucson was about 35 miles from the Cannon ranch and in 1873 the trip might have taken several hours one way to travel by horseback, covered wagon or buckboard. There were no real paved roads, just dirt paths, if anything to follow. Consider feeling all of those bumps and jolts as the wagon would pass over them, especially when trying to outrun the outlaws, banditos or Indians. If that wasn’t enough, the dry wind coupled with the dust or even a Haboob, the various plants and wild life that were dangerous in their own right could jeopardize even the most pleasant of rides. Plenty of water needed to be taken along, and wearing protective clothing was a must as well. Hopefully there would be a watering hole nearby to access during that trip to town.

 
Often the store, or mercantile would be the most frequented by the men and women as it was the best place to socialize and shop at the same time. Inventories there would be extremely limited to the most essential of a pioneers needs with a small amount of frivolous items as well. Shelves of fabrics, ready-made garments, graniteware, stoneware, wagon or farm necessities, wooden crates full of everything from nails, to a possible cherished piece of china might be just a sampling of the items available. Freighting wagons would deliver their shipments during the year to these stores, but those trips were not always frequent due to the weather, availability of the goods, the cost, and the ability to safely deliver the merchandise.

 
Wasn’t it amazing that given all of the possible obstacles a trip to town could have, Victoria seemed to have a beautiful parasol to shield her from the scorching sun and the dusty trail, but she always looked beautiful whenever she arrived!

Producer David Dortort talks about The High Chaparral

Here is a newspaper article that appeared in November of 1967, in which High Chaparral creator and producer David Dortort explains his vision for the show.

 Chaparral Inherits Western Audience

To those who ride the range faithfully each Sunday evening, “High Chaparral” is no stranger, padnuh. It follows hard on the heels of “Bonanza.” With no more than a saddle-break for a trip to the refrigerator, a feller can bid goodnight to the Cartwrights and say “howdy” to the Cannon family, 9-10 p.m., But for you non-cayuse types out there in living room land, a visit to Arizona Territory in the 1870s could be an eyeopener, westernwise. David Dortort, “Chaparral’s” creator-producer and the Dortort of “Bonanza” renown, planned the show that way. Dortort sees the hour-long color series as more than a cowboys-‘n’-Indians stereotype. The program is keyed to the efforts of the Cannon family to establish a cattle ranch in spite of the militant opposition from the Apache, the bandidos and the austerities of the desert. And herein lies the “We try to correct the stereotype of the stupid Mexican and the savage Indian, by giving insight into their cultures,” says Dortort. ”Too often, the Mexican in a Western is presented as a sullen character usefuf as background color, or as a foil to manufacture some questionable humor What of  his emotions, his commitment to the land, his dreams? “And the Apache. Certainly he fought like a demon. With reason. He was fighting for his homeland. To give the complete picture, we must recall his courage, the sense of honor as he interpreted it, and his reaction to the outrages perpetrated against his people, and the ‘why’ of his anger and his response.” Filmed on location near Tucson, Ariz. many local Puna, Papago and Apache Indians appear in the series. Initial days of location filming turned up one surprise — Nino Cochise, grandson of the famed Apache leader. Nino not only appeared in several episodes, but acts as technical advisor. Leif Erickson, Linda Cristal, Mark Slade, Henry Darrow & Cameron Mitchell Leif Erickson stars as Big John Cannon, a grizzled patriot seeking his destiny in the Arizona Territory. Cameron Mitchell, veteran of countless Westerns, is his firebrand brother, Buck. Mark Slade plays John’s son. Billy Blue. Linda Cristal appears as John’s second wife, Victoria, and Henry Darrow as her brother, Manolito.  The ” B u n k h o u s e Gang” rounds out the record-size permanent cast of 11. Don Collier, former star of his own s e r i e s , “The Outlaws,” appears as Sam Butler. Rodolfo Acosta as Vaqaero, Ted Markland as Reno, Roberto Contreras as Pedro. Robert Hoy as Joe and Jerry Summers as Ira. Now — what about the people who populate the video tale?

Leif Erickson, Linda Cristal, Mark Slade, Henry Darrow & Cameron Mitchell

Erickson. starting as a soloist with Ted Fio-Rito’s band, has moved through top-starring roles on Broadway, in motion pictures and on television. His first film was “Wanderers of the Wasteland.'” He was featured in “Conquest” with Greta Garbo. Other films included “The Snake Pit'”, On the Waterfront.” and “Tea and Sympathy.” He starred two years on Broadway in “Tea and Sympathy” opposite Deborah Kerr and toured with “Sunrise at Campobello” as Franklin D. Roosevelt. He guest-starred on various shows, including “Bonanza” Cameron Mitchell is the complete opposite of his television brother John. As Buck, he backs his brother to the hilt, but would just as soon be in town having fun. Mitchell gave up a promising career in European features to return to the United States for his first love, Westerns. Bom of strict Scotch-German parents. Mitchell is the first man in the family not to follow the ministry. He worked as an NBC page before obtaining his first part in the 1939-40 season of “Taming of the Shrew.” Features included “They Were Expendable” with John Wayne, followed by “Cass Timberlane.” “High Barbaree” and others. Mitchell returned to Broadway to star as Willy Loman’s younger son. Happy, in the Pulitzer-Prize winner, “Death of a Salesman” and in 1952 appeared in the motion picture Next to acting. Mitchell loves baseball. While filming “The High Chaparral” at Tucson,  he agreed to pitch for the local press team against the Cleveland Indians. The results were surprising. He reminded the Indians he still has an unsigned contract from the Detroit Tigers in his desk drawer. (They wanted him as a pitcher when he finished high school.) Linda Cristal, often referred to as the “Pearl of the Argentine.” b r i n g s Latin warmth and beauty to the series. Born in Buenos Aires, she started for Spain at 16 to become a nun following the death of her parents. The ship developed mechanical trouble and stopped in Mexico for repairs. Mexican producer-director Miguelito Aleman. son of the then president. Miguel Aleman. spotted the avenhaired, brown-eyed beauty and cast her in her first film, “When the Fog Lifts.” She went on to star in nine Aleman films. Linda came to the United States and co-starred in such film successes as “Comanche” and “The Alamo.” She is fluent in English, Italian,French and Spanish. When -The Wackiest Ship in the Arms'” went off the air. Mark Slade felt his career was finished and headed for Europe. “When I returned my agent said he had an interview with David Dortort for a new Western.” said Slade. “I wanted to go fishing and wasn’t interested. “The agent insisted I keep the date. I waited 45 minutes in the office. I was going to stay only five more minutes and then go fishing, when I was called in. At first Dortort though I was a real wise guy, until I read for the part. I was told not to go anywhere that day. not even fishing. My agent called that night and I was on my way to Arizona and filming the next day, in the role of Billy Blue. “It’s every young actor’s dream to be in a Western. Since coming here in 1960 I only did one Western episode. I had two lines to say. I never thought I would be given a Western series .. . it’s great ” Henry Darrow. who costars as Manolito. was born Henry Thomas Delgado. “I kept being typecast as a Latin.” said Darrow. “I’d been advised to change my name for years but I refused to believe that it would make a difference.” Darrow’s manager finally insisted. The name change proved an acting breakthrough for Darrow, who gets a chance to play everything f r o m Western heavies to Hungarians. Oddly enough. Darrow didn’t start out to be an actor. Born in New York City, at age 13 he and his parents moved back to their native Puerto Rico. “Everyone always said I would be an actor. However, my ‘bag* was political science, which I studied at the University of Puerto Rico. I was going to be an interpreter.” A friend told him of a contest that offered a dramatic scholarship. “I gave it a go.” said Darrow. “I won and chose the Pasadena Playhouse.” He graduated with a B.A. in Theater Arts. From 1956-65 he played in 12 feature films and 75 television shows including such series as “Gunsmoke”, “The Iron Horse”,  “Wild. Wild. West,” “Bonanza,” “Daniel Boone,” and “T H E. Cat.” Darrow doesn’t seem to mind being typecast again, because he finds the role of Manolito Montoya intriguing “Manolito has a dual nature,” said Darrow. “When he is well-dressed, he is one person. When he wears his beard he is another — he gets the itch to shove on. He becomes a rogue.”

After the Civil War

After the Civil War, what drove men and women westward? To seek out their fortunes in the gold and silver mines, or to become farmers, ranchers, and business owners? For the Southerners, after a devastating defeat, their plantations and farms ravaged by the war, they turned to the west to start new lives along the frontier. For the victorious North, they looked to expand their fortunes. The California gold rush had come and gone, so many of them looked to the desert southwest for their fortunes. There had been stories, gleaned from the Indians, about gold and silver in the Arizona desert.

Many of the Civil War vets, both Union and Confederate survivors, upon hearing these stories, decided to forgo California for the hot, dusty, barren lands of Arizona. Determined to hit it rich, one way or another, they headed west with their families. Still others headed west for the dry climate to battle an assortment of health issues, such as the dreaded “Lunger disease”, known as Tuberculosis. Among the pioneers were shopkeepers, saloon owners, as well as ranchers and cattlemen. Heading into the vast wilderness, Apache warriors around them on all sides, North and South came together to become neighbors to combat the Indian hordes. Still not totally friends with each other, they had to band together to survive.

Whether fighting the Indians, or the elements, or even each other, the ones that settled in Arizona were a tough group. And being veterans of the great war, they were indeed tough. And the women that came west with them were every bit as tough….they had to be to survive. They took care of the plantations, farms, ranches, and even businesses while their husbands were off fighting the war.. They stood side by side with the men when they moved westward. Some found gold or silver, others found their fortunes in and around the towns that sprung up everywhere. But what mattered to them all, was a new life, a new beginning, in the vast Arizona territory.

Journey To The Promised Land

Ever wonder what route that John and Annalee Cannon would have traveled to get to their destination at the High Chaparral in 1870?  With the migration to go west after the Civil War, people had to choose the best trail to get to their destination, and the best time of the year to travel on it.

The Southern routes could be more accessible for a longer time in the winter months to avoid snow and inclimate weather. For example, they could have chosen leaving Fort Smith Arkansas, traveling through Oklahoma territory across the top of Texas near the Canadian River, over to Santa Fe New Mexico, down through Albuquerque to the Apache Pass, then on into Tucson.

The wagons used had to be of the utmost construction, usually named Conestoga or covered wagons, but were also known as Prairie Schooners. Aptly named for the white canvas covers of the wagons crossing the prairies that would remind writers of the sails of a ship at sea. Normally they would be pulled by 2 or more pairs of oxen. Is it any wonder that today we can still see the ruts left behind that were created by these huge heavy vehicles? Often, when the terrain would allow, the wagons would fan out and travel abreast to minimize the dust from each wagon.  Then at night they would form a circle or square for shelter from the wind, weather, or just to corral the animals in the center. This was done to prevent them from running away or being stolen by Native Americans. Although horses were something that Indians might attempt to raid, it is said that they rarely attacked a train.

After the Union-Central Pacific railway line in May of 1869 was completed, the wagon trains and caravans decreased in size; however freighting and stagecoach lines became more common. By the 1880’s the decimation of the buffalo herds, the military defeat and relocation of the Rocky Mountain and Great Plains Indians, along with additional construction of railways, decreased the size of these wagon trains.
