Transcript

I learned two things in Cheyenne. One that Hucky Dummy is baking powder bread with raisins. The other that loves labor is not always lost, even if you don't know how to use a gun. Frontier Gentlemen, here with an Englishman's account of life and death in the West. As a reporter for the London Times, he writes his colorful and unusual stories. But as a

man with a gun, he lives and becomes a part of the violent years in the new territories. Now, starring John Dana, this is the story of J.B. Kendall, frontier gentleman. I had spent a week in chug water with hyena Bob Saunders, who ran the Cheyenne and Blackhill stage station. Now, I was on my way back to Cheyenne to send off to the London Times one

or two of the more choice stories you had told me. There was only one other passenger in the stage with me, a man in his little twenties. He introduced himself as Tom Hart. He was well dressed, and at first glance I took him to be an Easterner.

No, I was born in Kansas, reared in Montana territory. Now I call Wyoming, my home. How about you? Born in England. I'm trying to make a living, writing articles on the West for the London times. Oh you've been in Cheyenne yet? Oh yes. How are things? Well it's hard to say. I haven't seen too much of it. Three years since I was there. I guess the town's changed now.

This road sure hasn't. Well Cheyenne's thriving I can tell you that. Yeah. That's I got a big cuddle interest. I gather you're coming back from the east. East fancy dude clothes huh? Yeah, back then in the east and other parts, men gets tired as drifts you know, comes time to go home, that's where I'm headed.
