Notes:
Producer David O'Connell is most often seen as 'Editorial Dept. Head'
on the series. IMDB states the actor Dennis Hopper was an
uncredited producer on this feature. [bg]

Jack Marshall is credited with the score, but cues by other composers
feature too, notably Leo Shuken and Jack Hayes "working on the ranch"
theme from 5.01 "Legacy of Hate" Ralph Ferraro's "rding into Shiloh"
theme from 6.07 "Ah Sing vs Wyoming" and the theme from Laredo by
Russ Garcia (?) Most cues from later seasons and other composers
seem to be used to replace Lennie Hayton's cues from "Ride A Dark Trail". [bg]
