“This is the story of three men who came to be known as the Rough Riders. Many years later and half a continent away, that name was to win undying glory on the slopes of San Juan Hill. But our story is the beginning of the legend. Three men who came to be known in awe and admiration as the Rough Riders.”
Union officers Captain James (“Jim”) Flagg (Kent Taylor) and Sergeant Buck Sinclair (Peter Whitney) team up with Confederate Lieutenant Colin Kirby (Jan Merlin) after the surrender at Appomattox in April 1865 to journey west and begin new lives.
Jim is from a military family, while Colin is the son of a plantation owner. Buck is an expert tracker who can track through any terrain.
Episodes of the ABC series focus on the exploits of the three men as they travel between the Great Smokies and the High Sierras, fighting desperadoes, righting wrongs and helping good people plagued by bandits along the way.
The series was filmed on location in Tennessee, Dakota and Louisiana.
