John Anderson

Warning: Spoilers
John Anderson was great in this episode. He's one of my favorite character actors. He plays the bad guy so well! Actually, Anderson played a very similar role in the first season of The Rifleman. He may have actually done both roles around the same time.

I love when the put Civil War twists into these shows. From the way the television shows talk, Andersonville was the worst prison camp.

And again, I must declare that Tess is so cute! It was nice seeing this tender side of Sam. After all she'd been through, Tess needed someone to love her and care for her. But it seems her attitude took a 180 - from rough to sweet and caring...it was a bit too fast in my opinion...

Anyways, another good episode. You can't go wrong with John Anderson.

Marshal Andy Morrison was a prisoner in Andersonville during the civil war. One of the prison guards was brutal to him. It left him with scars on his back from the whipping.

That guard was Clyde Santee (John Anderson) and he has come to town. He is looking for an escaped prisoner. No one escapes from Santee's prison and remains at large.

His presence brings bad memories for Marshal Morrison, he hates Santee. When Sam Buckhart tells the Marshal that the escaped prisoner is called Joe Baker. The Marshal is in a quandary.

Both men were in the same camp, both loathed Santee and vowed to get even with him one day.

It is interesting how Hooverville prison rears its head in many westerns. Santee is a dubious unlikeable guy with a conscience. It is a very wild melodramatic story.
