Every ep is full of this leftist revisionist thinking. An Indian fighter is derided as the scum ... Read More

"The Ponderosa" is a prequel to Bonanza that is authorized and supported by Bonanza's producer, David Dortort, and was produced by Beth Sullivan. The story takes place in about 1849-50 on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada mountains in Eagle Valley, Western Utah Territory, site of present-day Carson City, Nevada. Like its predecessor, the show is suitable for family viewing, packaging strong family values in stories that are adventurous, fun, or filled with action and conflict.
