Wagon Train is an American Western series that aired 8 seasons. It is the fictional adventure story of a large westbound wagon train through the American Old West. The series was inspired by the 1950 film Wagon Master and by the 1930 early widescreen film The Big Trail. The show initially starred supporting film actor Ward Bond as the wagon master (replaced after his abrupt death in 1960 by John McIntire) and Robert Horton as the scout.
