The actor that portrayed the Pete Nolan character has passed on. Pete Nolan, the trail scout? You do remember Wishbone and Mushy. Gil Favor? Okay, Rowdy Yates, then? (well, never mind. browse to the next post). His actual name was Sheb Wooley. He was also a song writer — “Purple People Eater” (1958) and also the theme for the “Hee Haw” TV series. I did not know this.
