Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Selleck produced this himself after CBS passed, funding it through his own company because he loved Louis L'Amour's novel that much.
This was part of a brief early-2000s wave of TV westerns trying to recapture Unforgiven's prestige—mostly it just captured Tom Selleck's enduring star power.
