  • Western Wednesday 176 The Lost Mine
    FRONTIER GENTLEMAN was a Western that viewed the Wild West through
    the eyes of a British correspondent from the London Times. That
    reporter was J.B. Kendle, also known as Britt Kendle, who, besides
    being a reporter, was a veteran of the British army. He was sent
    to America to write about the people who lived in the Wild West. He
    was quite adept with fist, gun and knife and was smart enough to
    know when to use them. Britt was played by John Dehner , who is
    probably better known as Paladin in the radio version of HAVE GUN,
    WILL TRAVEL.
