Reviews:
"Herschel Bernardi guest stars in this Bonanza episode as an itinerant peddler who comes to Virginia City and learns that his brother had been accidentally killed by Hoss Cartwright.

With an insidious campaign Bernardi turns public opinion against Hoss. He also pushes Dan Blocker's buttons quite a bit hoping to provoke an incident.

Bernardi also tries to move in on Catherine McLeod, a widow who was the only eyewitness to what happened. Bernardi is truly one smarmy character.

And Dan Blocker is not someone you want to get mad at you.

This episode belongs to Blocker and Bernardi." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

"To me, this was insulting. Yes, an interesting premise, and some haunting, ominous undertones. I have been watching Bonanza for 50 or more years. I like many of the episodes. This one let me down.

I had to wonder, how did supposedly smart people act so much like dunces. How did the writers goof around with this so much. Sure, it was a TV show. I don't expect perfection. I do expect a fair degree of competence.

I think is an example of a good 30 minute show presented as a 60 minute mistake. A half hour might have been cramped, but the longer period yielded to much idle brain time for the writers. Again, some good acting and situations. Still, aggravating and disappointing." Written by gagaboobala on IMDb.com
