- Bonanza - Episode 02 - Death on Sun Mountain - The Cartwrights go up against two San Francisco men who plan to get rich by killing off the antelope herds--which the Indians rely on for their food--and selling the meat to Virginia City's swarms of silver miners.
Death on Sun Mountain
Director: Paul Landres
Writers: Gene L. Coon, David Dortort
Stars: Lorne Greene, Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker
Genre: Western
Country: USA
Language: English
Release Date: 19 September 1959 USA
Filming Locations: Paramount Studios - 5555 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA
Storyline:
Burdette and Thorne are selling native antelope meat to the "diggers of Sun Mountain" (the miners) at outrageous prices. The lack of their native food causes the Paiutes to steal Ponderosa beef. The Cartwrights decide to sell their beef directly to the miners, hoping to ease the tensions with the Paiutes and keep their herd from being rustled. This interferes with Burdette's business plan and he tells Thorne to stop the beef from arriving in Virginia City. Thorne and his men accomplish this by dressing up as Indians and killing all but one miner. Harris is left alive to tell everyone it was the Paiutes that ambushed them.
Reviews:
"Any kind of a mining boom will always bring out those like Barry Sullivan and Leo Gordon who will find a way to exploit the situation. In Sullivan's case it's food and he has Gordon and a crew of hunters killing off the wild antelope on which the Paiute Indians subsist.
Which brings Ben Cartwright into the situation. Lorne Greene on behalf of the Paiute chief Winnemucca confronts Sullivan and says he'll undercut Sullivan by selling beef cattle to the miners at reasonable prices. Something goes against the Cartwright grain concerning exploiting starvation for indecent profit.
Sullivan in the end has something of a conscience, Leo Gordon does not and that sets up the final confrontation between miners, exploiters, Cartwrights and Paiutes.
Also note a good performance from Jeanne Bates as an understanding saloon girl.
Good second episode of the series." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com
"I think it's in this episode (it's in one of the early episodes but not the pilot), but count how many times someone mentions the Comstock Lode silver strike and the reply is always, "It's not just a silver strike, it's a BONANZA." Apparently, this was an attempt to explain the series title to the audience but it was done a couple times too many within a single hour. Just one of the many things we all love about the series. Also, as in most early first season episodes, notice the adversarial relationship between the Cartwrights and the townfolk. This would, of course, change in later episodes. Basically, the town is against them and their values early on but the Cartwrights later become Virginia City's leading citizens. It's only the jealous criminals who are against them in subsequent seasons.
Overall, a good episode and worth watching for the early series and character development." Written by paulw-18 on IMDb.com

My brother and I smoke weed to Bonanza every fucking day
It's our favorite show growing up but more my favorite, as in I'm western nerd 🤓
@@Pizzacat345lol I just smoke and ate a few chip ahoy edibles 🤫😲😮💨🫶🏻✌️🙏🤝
I've been watching...👍🙂
They are showing this episode on MeTV this afternoon.
I love Bonanza. My dad looked a lot like Lorne Green.
This was a show on TV my whole family enjoyed.
Thank you for sharing it.
Hooked. It helps me fall asleep too. One of the best feel good shows.
...We can all find our Bonanza by looking up to the sky. Thank you Bonanza.
Just endless space bro

What I love about Bonanza is the rightness always claims the means and the life. Common sense always wins the moment, regardless of the odds.
Wish i had a Ponderosa to run
@@patkeeler6645 Lorne Green built a replica of the Ponderosa and lived in it with his wife. Just search for Ponderosa Replica on CZcams if you are interested.
and stuff !
Now I can see what I missed as a young lad.
Thanks making it possible to have pure good entertainment during these Depressing times. As a kid it was a big deal to get to watch Bonanza come Sunday night. The days you weren't allowed to sit and watch TV all day, and only allowed to touch it to clean it, or you were the remote control with permission. Great scenery, great actors, great storylines. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Maybe get mad and fight, then it's over, not hold grudges and hate to kill. The bad guys never win. We need more like this. Youngons forget or don't know, Work , do a good job and do it right, feel good about yourself. Kindness is still alive. Times were hard, but honest and good. Lessons to be learned. Sleep well at night. I'm binge watching today. Earned that right at my age.Well, some do kill that are Bad people. Greed doesn't pay. Truth comes out and peace can be found.
depressing
Ed Sullivan 8 p.m.; Bonanza 9 p.m. Paramount Studio Pictures, Set 17 + exterior shots of riding beautiful horses
I've only just started watching Bonanza in 2021. I'm hooked. Love how the Cartwrights live by thier values, are kind and are real men . Love that there's no PC BS in the show. Wish I were living back in the 60s, when this was written. I was born just after the show ended (1970s) and I'd gladly go back to the time when there was no technology.
Y..i want more
F U
That slap at about 23:00 had me laughing so hard!!! I just discovered bonanza, binge watching.. love!!
It's addictive but I love the character of Ben Cartwright. His kindhearted compassionate nature is well needed in 2023
It was closer to 23:49
I agree with your comments especially as it relates to conflict and how they seem to resolve most of them without killing one another! Kindness and love for one's neighbors wad a way of life!

One of the first special 10 Episodes of Bonanza in the 1959-60 season that did loosely follow the history of the great silver strike in 1858-59 that became the Comstock Lode, and the founding of Virginia City. Being a history buff, those first 10 Bonanza Episodes are my all-time favorite episodes of the show. After that, Bonanza stories became more standard Hollywood / TV western.
There are two great books that inspired the show, THE BIG BONANZA (1876) Dan DeQuille and ROUGHING IT (1872) Mark Twain. Both authors had lived in Virginia City during the original glory days of the silver strike, both as newspaper men writing for "The Territorial Enterprise" and living in the genuine 'Wild West' era. The Bonanza Season 1 Episode 5, "Enter Mark Twain" shows the arrival of Twain in 1860 roughly, when Twain actually did not arrive in Nevada Territory until July 1861.
Interesting , thank you 👏👏👏👏
one show that will never die
😁
I hope not.
One of the best western series ever made ⭐️
Wow, what an amazing episode.... Love Ben and the boys so much....💓💓💓💓
Thx for commenting! This is also a great movie: czcams.com/video/gK8x3S46lLk/video.html
I watch Bonanza almost every day but never understood how it arrived at that name however it's a great show. BUT, l'm a black man and never only saw ONE black man on the show. WHY ? The old west had black people !
Me to
@@michaelcesco2970 Now i,m just a white guy and I don,t care, aren,t we all God,s creation?
@@michaelcesco2970 They had a black family on this show. Ossie Davis played a widowed father. Bonanza is the word miners used to describe a large sum of silver
Joe was always fool hardy ready to shoot his mouth! Many years made him really mature! Adam was the wise & brainy child of Ben Cartwright! I still miss Adam!
Adam was 12 years older than Joe . Joe was 17 in the first seasons. At 29, he would, of course, have been more mature than a 17-year-old boy.
I remember when this happened. My grandparents really like the antelope meat.
I was watching this show since I was a kid I like Western series
Thank you to the uploader of all these videos! I hope they remain on here because there’s no where else to stream this wonderful piece of tv history!
This was the episode that established the Cartwrights that viewers came to know. In the pilot, they acted like jerks much of the time.
Pilots never reflect the series as a whole. I'm so glad that Bonanza got better after the first episode.
In an interview with Lorne Greene he said he complained to the writers that he didn't like how agressive the Cartwrights were with anyone who happened upon their land and suggested a better way to interact with trespassers.
Glad the writers listened to his concerns.
i wouldn't say jerks just a bit rugged and protective
I'm glad Lorne got it changed and the writers saw sense,
The pilot was extremely different!
Yes, the oddballs ranchers were disliked and distrusted by the VC townsfolk. Almost anywhere the Cartwrights went, the community was suspicious and didn't embrace or trust them.
Bucket of Blood, what a name for a Saloon. There was a bar here in Colorado that was called something else but beings their was so many fights, people called it bucket of blood
Bucket of Blood Saloon is in the real Virginia City still. They have all sorts of nick nacks you can buy
I liked it better when the cast had a more diverse wardrobe in each episode.
Glad you enjoyed it! You may also enjoy this film: czcams.com/video/OkuTuuSq2UU/video.html
What a beautiful ending to a beautiful movie with lots of beautiful people.
9:15 "lady, you just mind your own business!" Well, she was.
Winnamucca in Paiute Indian language means "one mocassin". Winnamucca city exists still.
Love this show ❤💕Thanks for posting 📫❤🙏God bless 🙌🙏❤😊
This episode of Bonanza tell's a great story Always be honest
Clean western show.
I just finished season 14 , didn't realize how much I missed Adam's smarts!😢
Eric, Hoss's horse is a sweetie, looks like a champion, old chub
Director of the series was surely smart,knew what to put forward and what to conceal.
Very nice movie.i like it.thank you for another episode of Bonanza movie.God Bless you all
I got into Bonanza in my 40's and never looked back, partner!
Good stuff, thanks.
Just don’t make shows as good as this anymore
Thats a fact!
YOU are a cliche', Jedi.
Intricate storylines...tech was few back then
@@patkeeler6645 - few??
Regarding horses big enough for Hoss, it wasn't hard to find one to ride WALKING, but finding one to ride RUNNING had to be a very STRONG creature ! All that weight on the back running up and down hills can easily break legs.
Did anyone mention yet that was a great episode to a great show?!
45:29 Hahaha, the rock bouncing around. Director "stuff it, it's good enough"
Show more of bonanza. Up to the last episodes
Great example of the good of capitalism and the evil of those who hate it.
They actually said the word bonanza in this episode about 6 times. Lol
I guess cause they wanted to establish the name of the show and it’s meaning for everyone in the series. My thought.
My dad actually thought Bonanza was the fathers (Ben),name
I can see why Doc liked the old west.
Barry Sullivan The Tall Man TV Series ..Nice One
I'm watching it everyday all day western each have deep meanings
The horse that Adam is writing looks like the one that little Joe rides most of the time 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
Back in the day I remember my parents were debating whether or not to get one of them newfangled colour TVs because they were so much more expensive and the picture quality wasn't as sharp. Later on, I developed my own secret technique for making my TV come on in colour. It involved staring at a spot in the centre and "wishing" in the colour, which would gradually start from the centre and slowly move to the edges. After about 5 minutes the whole picture was colour. I even taught my secret technique to my friends, but only a couple of them could do it. Of course, it only worked after you drank 12 beers.
Lov bonanza back in the 50,s still do now r d
Bek Nelson (Glory) was a very pretty lady. She died at age 87.
These are great,old classic westerns
Fun fact: one of the writers of this episode also wrote a number of Star Trek episodes.
I noticed that.
This show which was called entertainment. It's also illustrating today's times, which I mean is the American greed .
The thing that I have always wondered since I first started watching Bonanza in the '60s. Where did they find horses big enough for Dan Blocker?
I don't remember the specific reference I looked up, but the horses were rented out to tv and movies and they specifically gave Dan Blocker a horse that was large enough to carry him.
@@user-pd7il3xz5j Yer, a Clydesdale.
@@mreighties2860 Thank you!🐎
And Hoss still makes the horse look small.
I'm 5'10 and 300 lbs. Where most average horses are 13- 14 hands . I've owned a few horses 15 - 16 hands tall . Weighing out around 1000 lbs. Certainly large enough to carry a follow Texan like Dan Blocker . In fact one of my best horses was a Tennessee walker that was over 16 hands . With a gorgeous gate and smooth riding . So to answer your question they're out there .
One of my favorite episodes is the one where Hoss had to fight the champion pro boxer. He couldn't compete of course and was getting whipped good. Adam said " Don't fight him, wrestler him " ! That did it ! Hoss put a bear - hug on him and it was all over ! That mountain of a man could squeeze the air out of anybody !
Wow!! Second epis. of Bonanza they made.
The last 5 minutes; they really wanted you to know the name of this show! lol
This is such a great family program. Some of the acting is almost comical but im sure it was considered adequate during the time . The word "Bonanza" was only used 6 times. 😂
Best western tw series ever!!

It’s interesting to see how young the actors are when this series started until it ended. Quite a dramatic difference 😊
8 times said the word bonanza. Classic!
Bonanza to najlepszy serial,mojej młodości, tylko nie wszystkie odcinki przetłumaczone na polski,nikt nie chce dipy ruszyć zeby przetlumaczyć resztę odcinków, A szkoda 🤣☝️👊🐎👍
Well just be happy Poland has borders. In America we have none and third world criminals are destroying our way of life.
Good job Bonanza for writing a strong smart female character in the 1960s. 👍
Mmm, wouldn't really consider her a Ma Victoria Barkley from The Big Valley..
But she may be a lil tougher than Audra.
:)
When the first walk into that bar the passed by a table with a man sitting with his head lying on the table and it was so clearly there for just the effect it was ridiculous. 😅😅😅
Thank you so much ❤
🤠🐎What an ending...I have never heard the series' name used so much.
BONANZA & LITTLE HOUSE ON A PRARIE IS MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE TV SHOWS ....
Great Show! They Shoot Cattle Thieves!
Another outstanding upload Grjngo.
I remember when Candy was, for some reason, just gone, as a kid it really upset me, lol, it upset me again
I didn't like Candy. He was too much of a wimp. He wasn't masculine like Adam was.
When l first saw Candy, l thought that sounded like a girl's name. ( lt is) . Why didn't the producers call him something else to make it more masculine ? And why did he wear the same red shirt / black vest all the time, ( on every episode I saw) . His name was pronounced Canary, but I thought it was CA - NA- RY , like a bird .
@lynettepalecek3141 The actor appeared on Gunsmoke
Love this when I was growing up, but they sure couldn’t act very well
its not too bad it is watchable thats for sure but i get what you saying
For sure...great writing

By looking at the map I'm guessing the Ponderosa was close to 150,000 acres.
Good lesson in d movie👍 👌✌🥰😍😘
Great episode. Would have been cool if they brought a couple cows over to the starving family at the end.
Or they could all have gone vegetarian?Laughs.
@@susanmccormick6022 you can grow 20 times the amount of food on the land that it takes to raise a cow...why do you think even today...people are fighting the destruction of vast rain forests and waste of land to make sure mcdonalds never runs out of hamburgers?
maybe someone you know is suffering to feed their family....that should really make you laugh
@@jadezee6316 Can't u recognize a bit of sarc?I am a vegetarian & fully aware of what you're saying.For the love of the Four,lighten up.

02:17 "To be more specific, a week ago last Tuesday at noon and..."
Why would Joe think he wouldn't be noticed? Riding in on a black and white Pinto...smh.
Thanks!
Nice ending
Watched Long Time 🧭
Vary Vary good show
What happened between Episode 1 & 2? In episode 1 they were afraid to go into Virginia City alone. Now are happy there and think that they can bully the miners. A much better story than Episode 1! And better characters, more like the Cartwrights we know. I'm curious about the story of the change but didn't quickly find it.
