"In the books there's a name for a
man like you. A Paladin. That's a
gentleman knight in shiny armor, and
all armed with a cause and
righteousness and a fine pointed
lance . . . and yet a mercenary. A man
who hires out for gold. What was
your price, my noble Paladin?"
From 1957 to 1964, HAVE GUN WILL
TRAVEL aired over the CBS Radio
and Television Network with huge
ratings. Considered by many as
one of the best television westerns
ever broadcast next to GUNSMOKE, HAVE GUN dramatized the exploits of a man name Paladin, whose gun was for hire - for a steep price.

BOOK REVIEWS
"Much, much more (all you could ever want to know) about Paladin, the TV series, the radio series, Richard Boone, John Dehner, Ben Wright, etc., etc., can be learned from the fine book by Martin Grams, Jr. and Les Rayburn, THE HAVE GUN-WILL TRAVEL COMPANION, published in 2000. It contains complete (!!!) episodic logs of both the radio and TV series, with plots, players and character names. It's a gem!"
