This is an exceptional episode of Wagon Train. Mr. Edgar Buchanan gives what is nothing less than the most amazing dramatic performance of his career and it is a performance you will never forget. It is indeed the performance of a lifetime. This is an actor who puts everything into this role and it's absolutely shattering. The always superb Whit Bissell, underrated and often ignored, is also quite memorable in a role that fits him like a glove. Overall, this is an excellent episode that should serve as testimony to the talent and gravitas as an actor of Mr. Edgar Buchanan.
