  Wagon Train revolved around the characters traveling to California by a wagon train caravan from St. Joseph, Missouri. In its first three seasons and part of the fourth, the regular cast consisted of Ward Bond as Major Seth Adams, the trailmaster, Robert Horton as Flint McCullough, the scout, Terry Wilson as Bill Hawks, the ramrod, and Frank McGrath as Charlie Wooster, the cook. During the fourth season Scott Miller was introduced as an assistant scout Duke Shannon. Ward Bond died of a heart attack on November 5, 1960. The last five episodes in which he appeared were broadcast posthumously, after which John McIntire was introduced as Bond's replacement, scoutmaster Christopher Hale. At the end of the fifth season Robert Horton left the series to pursue a career in musical theatre. He was replaced in the seventh season by Robert Fuller as the new scout, Cooper Smith. The final episode of the sixth season introduced Michael Burns as teenager Barnaby West, who became a recurring character in the seventh season. Scott Miller left the series after the seventh season, leaving McIntire, Fuller, Wilson, McGrath, and Burns to carry the show through its final year.
