Wagon Train is an American Western television series that aired for eight seasons. The series initially starred Ward Bond as the wagon master and Robert Horton as the scout. The series was inspired by the 1950 film Wagon Master directed by John Ford and starring Ben Johnson, Harry Carey Jr. and Ward Bond. It also harkens back to the early widescreen wagon train epic The Big Trail starring John Wayne and featuring Bond in his first major screen appearance playing a supporting role. Wagon Train debuted on the NBC television network and later moved to ABC. The series is the fictional adventure story of a large westbound wagon train through the American frontier from Missouri to California. The show featured a cast including Frank McGrath, Terry Wilson, and John McIntire, who replaced Ward Bond as the wagon master after his death. Robert Fuller later replaced Robert Horton as the scout.
