Placing historical facts in a fictional framework, STORIES OF THE CENTURY was among the best Western television series of the 1950s, winning an Emmy in 1955 for its efforts. In each episode, railroad detective Matt Clark (veteran television actor Jim Davis) traveled to another part of the Wild West and encountered a different historical figure. Clark found himself face to face with outlaws like Jesse James and Billy the Kid, gunfighters like Doc Holliday, and Native American heroes such as Geronimo and Crazy Horse. STORIES OF THE CENTURY combined educational information about these luminaries while keeping the stories fresh and exciting through the character of Matt Clark. This set contains 36 episodes of the classic Western television show.
