I remember this series quite well. Even though I was only about 10 when it came out, I remember thinking that this was different from all the other westerns I used to watch. It was definitely more for adults than, say, "Wild Bill Hickok" or "Hopalong Cassidy", and even us kids could appreciate it (my friends and I watched it religiously). It was a tough, gritty show, not--as many westerns often do--romanticizing the role of the cavalry trooper in western history, but showing it as a dirty, uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous job, but one that had to be done. John Pickard, the lead, had been a reliable character actor in westerns for many years--not quite up to the level of Jim Davis, for example, but close--and he fit the part of the tough cavalry sergeant well. A very good show that unfortunately didn't last as long as it deserved.
