"Bonanza"


Gillie Writes:
I think Ben Cartwright was married and widowed 3 times producing 3 son's by different women one of which was Native American. My family disagrees. 
HELP!!

Morty Writes:
It was Hop Sing, no, no, just kidding. Wow, this is the toughest question I've been asked in a while. I wasn't a big fan of "Bonanza" but I watched it every Sunday night with my Dad. I clearly remember the boys getting into a fight over a remark made by someone in town over one of their Indian heritage. I wasn't sure, so I checked with Deirdre Culpepper ov'r at the ranch located at: www.bonanza1.com. You'll find the whole background of the four principle characters on this page.

It's worth reading, but to sum it up, Adam's mother was from New England, daughter of a down East sea captain, died in childbirth; Hoss' mom was a Swedish immigrant and killed in an Indian attack; Little Joe's mother was from New Orleans, a fiery Creole beauty whose father had been one of Jean Lafitte's henchmen and lost her life at the hands of a jealous former lover.
