I'm old enough to have seen all of those mentioned on the silver screen. Glad I'm still around to remember them.

Hopalong was never a big favorite of mine for some reason. Seemed to "citified" or something. My dad had the Mumford books and I read them all. Lots of difference between the way Hopalong was in the books and the Boyd version. I didn't see it mentioned but Louie L'amour also wrote some Hopalong Cassidy novels that followed Mumford's version.

"Rounders" in this part of the world are in no way connected with a railroad. More the fun loving, wild, don't really give a ----,uh, hoot what people think type. Max Evans wrote a novel titled "The Rounders" that's set in central New Mexico cattle country that will give a good idea of the meaning. It's tears running down your face funny and there was a movie made from it starring Glenn Ford and Henry Fonda that is excellent.

My dad carried me to many movies on Saturday mornings and I was fortunate enough to meet The Lone Ranger and Hopalong Cassidy. I still have my Lone Ranger silver bullet pencil sharpener with the red Merita Bread sticker on it. I need to look for it. This thread brings back good memories.

The Rounders was also a TV series with Chill Wills that ran for a couple of seasons in the '60s

To go farther afield. I believe at Gatsby's funeral in Fitzgerald's novel, his father showed the narrator, little Jimmie Gatz's" copy of Hopalong Cassidy with a list of personal goals in pencil inside the cover, just to show that he was always special, even before reinventing himself as "Gatsby."

Anyone remember Yancy Derringer? That was the "western" series that fired my imagination!

^^^ You mean the guy from New Orleans that carried a gun in his hat? Starred Jock Mahoney who also starred as Range Rider (with his sidekick, Dick West). Played Tarzan as well.

Guys...sorry, this just isn't a THR thread. Love the old shows dearly, but we gotta stick to GUNS.
