Frontier Gentleman
Mighty Mouse
by
Frontier Gentleman follows British journalist J. B. Kendall as he travels through the American West in the years after the Civil War. His work for the London Times brings him into contact with settlers, soldiers, outlaws, and other people whose lives are shaped by the frontier.
Each episode is presented as one of Kendall’s dispatches, with his first-person narration guiding listeners through a self-contained Western story. The series combines adventure and historical drama with the perspective of an observant outsider, making the changing landscape and its communities central to the experience.
John Dehner’s measured performance gives Kendall a thoughtful, composed presence, while the sound and music evoke the open country and the dangers of travel. The result is a literate, atmospheric Western that balances action with reflection on the people and conflicts of the frontier.
