Capt. James H. Callahan Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I must admit, Wagon Train was never one of my favorites, but I've watched it more lately (slim pickins on the bird). So Wagon Train fans, who was the better boss, Ward Bond or John McIntire? I'm not much help, I'd call it a push. Two giants. Back when we had the SASS conventions I met a lot of California pards who knew a lot about the old Western actors, heard a lot of great stories. One was that Ward Bond was the toughest of the lot in real life. Cast your vote here. Sus amigo, JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Eye Jake Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 That's a tough one, but I'd say John McIntire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 John McIntire fit right in but I've got to go with Ward Bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I'll go with Bond. After all, he and the John Wayne were good buddies, even after the Duke shot 'im in the butt with a borrowed shotgun. (Bond even left the shotgun to Wayne in his will ).

Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I prefer Bond as well but McIntire was good also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Wyatt Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I liked Ward Bond in many of the movies that he played in, but I didn't really care for him in Wagon Train. Going to have to go with John McIntire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I don’t think I have ever watched Wagon Train or if I did I don’t recall it. Regarding Ward Bond and John McIntyre, I have always thought of Ward Bond as the type of guy that would be a great guy to have around. John McIntyre always reminded me of that guy that just can’t seem to get it done. The guy that can be Deputy Mayor but not Mayor. Or that guy that’s a bad guy but a wimpy bad guy or a sneaky back shooter. I will go with Ward Bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
