LOOK, IS THAT ANOTHER WILD WEST pixellated posse barrelling over the horizon of your telly? Why, yes, and no foolin’. This one, though, was pretty fine, with much sepia shoot-em-ups based on the doings of the Cavalry in the Wild West. Flying arrows, last-minute reliefs of wagon trains by the cavalry, treacherous Red Men, unscrupulous medicine showmen and grizzled sargeants a-plenty. Episodes always ended with a shot of an unmounted horse by a flagpole showing the Stars and Stripes.

Video for this series is quite rare.
In fact each episode ended with a trooper playing the last post by the flagpole. The unmounted horse with trooper was at the start of the show when a still picture became animated (quite an innovative effect back then).
Please see both clips on youtube.
