I found this in a listing of upcoming CBS programs, but I have no idea what a "Big Horn crew member" is. Is anyone familiar with this program? Could they mean the 7th? Friday, Nov. 4 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) THRESHOLD -- Molly (Carla Gugino) and Cavennaugh (Brian Van Holt) encounter some bizarre happenings and shocking discoveries when they head to the hometown of a missing Big Horn crew member. Here's the link: www.thefutoncritic.com/cgi/pr.cgi?id=20051027cbs01 |

I don't know the show myself, but as far as I can see it's some sort of 'X-Files'-ish thing -- alien invasions and the like. I've a nasty feeling that Big Horn is a ship of some kind (disappointingly!). A few clues here: familyscreenscene.allinfoabout.com/scifi/threshold.html |

If it is some alien/other-worldly show, it's got a long way to go to best the TWILIGHT ZONE episode about National Guardsmen going back in time to fight at the LBH!

Crzhrs, I'd so love to see that ... Is it on DVD or anything, do you know?

Crzhrs, I'd so love to see that ... Is it on DVD or anything, do you know? Yes, dear Elizabeth, you can order this on DVD. Look for this classic episode on the DVD "The Twilight Zone Vol 19" where you can order it on Amazon -- www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/6305760470/qid%3D1130561586/sr%3D11-1/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F1/103-4719229-0323824 -- dirt cheap ($4.97 American dollars). Purchases help the Friends help the battlefield. “The 7th Is Made Up Of Phantoms” first aired on December 6, 1963 starring Warren Oates and a future television series “Mission Impossible” regular Greg Morris. Writer of the episode was the creator of the series, Rod Serling, who loved history but got most of it wrong in this episode – what do you expect for a 24 minute run time? It ends with the classic line, “Too bad they couldn’t of brought the tank – it would’ve helped.” I won’t explain what that means because I don’t want to spoil anything for you. Side Note: Image Entertainment has been releasing the entire five seasons on DVD, one season at a time for a year now. The final season will be available December 27, 2005 including this episode. Those DVDs are outstanding, but somewhat pricey, however worth every penny. |

Duly ordered. Ships on Tuesday. Whoopee!
Thanks so much for the info. I never knew which volume it was in before, and certainly didn't fancy buying the lot.

You're welcome Elizabeth. Now, I'll be anxious to read your opinion of Rod Serling's version of the Indian Village!!

I can imagine ... Speaking of exciting viewing, I've just come across the most amazing thing on IMDb: a 1914 documentary movie, 'The Indian Wars', listing among its cast William F. Cody ... Nelson Miles ... Charles King ... Jesse M. Lee (of Reno COI fame) ... to say nothing of Short Bull and Dewey Beard!!! According to the IMDb entry, it's on DVD -- though Amazon have it as "not available". Pure gold, I should think, for anyone who can lay hands on it. Here's the link: us.imdb.com/title/tt0004155/combined |

This was Cody's project, also known as Indian War Pictures (amongst other titles), it featured Summit Springs and Warbonnet Creek, which had long featured in his shows, but he added Wounded Knee. Apparently, the events were re-enacted on the original sites with particpants from some of the events - especially the more recent Wounded Knee. Check out Joy S Kasson's essay, "Lifelike, Vivid and Thrilling Pictures: Buffalo Bill's Wild west and Early Cinema," in Westerns: Films Through History, edited by Janet Walker (Routledge, 2001). I seem to remember reading about it when I was at uni ages ago in Jon Tuska's The Filming of the West. I've either seen clips of it or have convinced myself I have because I've seen the same stills over and over again.

Elisabeth, you ARE a wonder. Please let me know if you find the film for sale somewhere.
I'm committing the board sin of going way off topic, but my original topic was pretty lame so . . . .
Chuck and I have been trying to build a complete Charles King collection, but we have not been able to locate a complete list of his writings. The ones I've found online are not complete because we have books not listed. Can someone help us locate a complete list, please?
