- TriviaJohn Russell was only forty-seven and looked even younger than that, when he was cast in this series. He believed that in order for a man like Dan Troop to have gained the kind of experience and maturity he possessed, he would have had to have been in at least his mid fifty, so Russell had the Make-up Department streak gray through his hair, and he lowered his voice when he spoke, in order to appear several years older.
- GoofsFrequent references to Fort Laramie indicate the fort is close to the town of Laramie. Actually, Fort Laramie is over 100 miles from Laramie.

Featured review
Wise Marshall, Young Protégé
John Russel was excellently cast in this Western about protecting Laramie from the badder elements of society.
Russell, a former Marine, was straight and tall and worked wonderfully as the wise lawman who used his six-gun with deadly accuracy and regularity. Peter Brown as Deputy Johnny McKay was also fast in the leather slappin' dept.
Brown brought the young ladies in to view the weekly adventures while Russell, I'm sure, caught the attention of both women viewers and men.
This was a smart Western with a great theme song composed of male voices singing the praises of the "Lawman." Russell's steely eyes made the part of tough-guy Marshall believable. The epitome of what you would expect a real Marshall in the old west to be. Brown's good looks and athletic prowess made for some great action during the series.
I was sad to see Russell cast as a villain in the 1985 Clint Eastwood film, Pale Rider. Russell will forever remain one of the ultimate lawmen in the Old West in my mind as a result of this wonderful old Western series.
