The Chinese cook was the only Period Correct thing about the show.

[litl rooster]

 The house is pretty right also, okay minus the electric lights running water and Stanely windows and doors.If U based what the Cartwrights did as cowboy the west would truely be hurting.

Nah! Hoss's cap & ball Remington was PC too.

Has any one seen or heard from Cherokee Jem, I hope he hasn't shot his dern fool eye out, walking around blind in the woods? or worst done run off to Vegas with his sweetie.

He hasn't signed in since July 13, Litl Rooster. Maybe he's off on vacation someplace. I hope all is well with him.

Sorry ST, they talk about the coming war in the early shows and the so called 1858 Remmy is in reality an 1863 model.   Guess that's splitting hairs but.

Wait a minute. The current replicas are of the 1863 Remington, that's correct. But the Remington Beals Army Revolver is an 1860 model and it's not really that different from the 1861 and 1863 models. Only the loading lever arrangement is really different, in a glance you even won't tell an 1861 from an 1863.

So which model did Hoss have.  I can't watch the show any more, I found out that they don't own all that land legally.   Just a bunch of high profile land theives, rember this is before The Homestead Act, and a Pre-emption would have allowed 3 quarter sections, Little Joe was to young.  And of course the house would have had to been at the corners of the property lines.

By the way, I got rumors there is a US Marshall down in Dodge City that has been stepin' out of bounds on his duties.

Del your right about the quarter sections....However He could have bought others once they proved up (5years) I think. Sometimes brothers cousins and other family members would quarter up next to each other. Now this is Hollywood's west so, not known for accuracy's. I took the tour of the Ponderosa set when I was stationed in Northern Cal.

[Delmonico]

Buying a Spanish land grant is also possible but if you remember the seldom played word in the theme song it states they filed a claim.  So that would be 1/4 section plus all the lad yer guns and hired hands could control.

[Scattered Thumbs]

So which model did Hoss have. 

Now you got me.  I watched it for the first time when I was 6.

Watched it again some 5 years ago when there was a rerun, but didn't tape it.

I think Little Joe had a 1951 Navy Colt at the beginning. That would be PC too.

[Silver Creek Slim]

In one episode I saw recently, Hoss had a 1875 Remington.
