While watching the Wagon Train TV show I could not help but notice that the scout for the wagons,Flint,wears a buckskin outfit similar to Joe Riley's from the second season of Laredo.Even down to the details that both characters wear a pants belt with Indian designs,& have the sheathes for their knife attached to their pants.
shareWilliam Smith told this story at the Lone Pine Film Festival:
He got a look at the outfits they were going to wear before it was decided who would wear what. He wanted those boots so rushed down to wardrobe to beat Peter Brown who he (WS) knew would also want them.
Just started watching Wagon Train which I used to watch with my dad back when it was first televised. Flint was a big favorite back then (also an LP guest). I either forgot or didn't realize his knife sheath was built into his pants. How did he manage not to slice his leg open!
