From 1959 until the final episode of "Rawhide" on January 4, 1966, CBS put trail boss, Gil Favor and his assistant foreman, Rowdy Yates on a never ending cattle drive through the wilderness.
Some think that "Rawhide" was very similar to another TV series, "Wagon Train", since the theme and the plot were almost identical. |
