The High Chaparral
(1967 - 1971)




The High Chaparral is a Western series which aired on NBC from 1967 to 1971. The show revolved around Big John Cannon (Leif Erickson), a rancher who lived in the Arizona Territory in the 1870s. He ran the ranch with his brother Buck (Cameron Mitchell) and son Billy "Blue Boy" (Mark Slade). Blue Boy's mother was killed in the first episode by an Indian arrow through the window, and John Cannon courted and later married Victoria (Linda Cristal), the daughter of the powerful Don Sebastián Montoya. His marriage to Victoria Montoya brought her brother Manolito (Henry Darrow) to live with the family. The High Chaparral aired the first season on Sunday nights at 9:00 Central Time, then moved to Friday nights at 6:30 for the remainder of its run.
