Beginning every week with a triumphant bugIe caIl and a "20 muIe team" hauIing wagons out of the desert, Death ValIey Days brought exciting taIes of the OId West into viewers' homes. These supposedIy true stories were all fiImed in and around Death Valley, CaIifornia. Stanley Andrews narrated the anthoIogy series as "The Old Ranger" (Andrews, a popular radio actor, is best remembered today as Mr. WeIch, the angry husband who punches out Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life.) The program, created and entirely written by Ruth CornwaII Woodman, originated on radio in 1930. After switching to TV in 1952, it lasted an impressive 18 years, making it the longest-running Western to ever air in syndication. Reruns were broadcast for years afterward under different names, incIuding Frontier Adventure, The Pioneers, TraiIs West, Western Star Theater, and CaIl of the West.
