Page "Wagon Train" Paragraph 15

In " The Sacramento Story ", which was the last episode in the first season, the wagon train finally arrives in California after a three-month journey.

Some stars from earlier episodes appear.

At the end of the show, Flint McCullough has his $ 400 pay for the journey, says his goodbyes and rides off.

Adams knows he'll spend the money on girls, do a number of jobs when it is gone, and then find another wagon train for which to scout.

With all the other wagons gone, there is just Adams, Hawks and Wooster.

They plan to take a ship back around the tip of South America and back to Boston.

Instead, in the first episode of the second season, the trio is shanghaied ( kidnapped and forced to join the crew of a ship ) in San Francisco but jump ship in New Orleans and end up back in St. Joseph, Missouri, with McCullough ready to take another train west.

In later seasons the series was more episodic and paid less attention to the progress of the train along its route over the course of the season.
