Quotes
Rowdy Yates: On a trail drive, each and every man has his chore. The eye of the drive is the scout, riding out in front to test the trail and find water and bed ground. Others are stationed around the herd, hazing it when it moves and soothing it when it's bedded down. A very important man is the master of the chuck wagon, because he's not only got to be a good trail cook, but a jack of all trades as well. The man who holds the whole kit and kaboodle together is the trail boss. There's one man in the outfit whoses got no chores of his own, gotta be ready and willin' to take over anyone else's. Yeah, that's me - ramrod of this outfit, Rowdy Yates.

Nothing but Clint!

There are lots of TV shows with great casts, but when an episode focuses on one actor they don't always do as well without the rest of the cast; this episode proved that Clint Eastwood could hold his own without needing the entire cast to support him.

I give this episode 10 stars for how well Clint Eastwood compensates for the female drama in the storyline between mother and daughter.
