The Guns of Will Sonnett

(1967-1969)

Western

Cast: Walter Brennan and Dack Rambo

The Guns of Will Sonnett is a Western television series set in the 1870's which ran on the ABC television network from 1967 to 1969.

This series starred veteran character actor Walter Brennan as Will Sonnett, and Dack Rambo as his grandson, Jeff, who were searching for the man in the middle, Will's son and Jeff's father, James.

Disgusted with his father's absence on army-scout business more often than not, James (also called Jim) had disappeared at the age of seventeen. A few years later, a baby boy was delivered to Will, with a letter identifying him as James' son. It went on to say that his mother had died in childbirth, and that not very many people get a second chance in life, but this was one for Will. The young boy was raised by his grandfather, who was grateful for the opportunity and did the best that he could.
