Hondo: The Complete Series, Hondo: The Complete Series, DVD

Based on the character created by Louis L'Amour and the John Wayne film of the same name, Hondo depicts the adventures of former cavalry scout Hondo Lane and his dog, Sam, as he tries to broker a peace between the white settlers and the Native Americans fighting to keep their land way of life. Ex-scout, ex-Confederate officer, and widower of massacred Apache bride, Hondo has the right mix of perspectives needed to troubleshoot the dangers found in the lawless and powder-keg atmosphere that envelopes the Arizona Territory of the 1870s. Aiding Hondo is frontier widow Angie Dow, her son Johnny, grizzled sidekick Buffalo Baker, Apache Chief Vittoro, Colonel Crook and Captain Richards.
