Hope Springs ABC 1958

 

Created by Frank & Doris Hursley. Produced by Edwin Duerr.

 

Hope Springs, a town in the west in the late 1860's - ' a new daytime serial story of the frontier west, from the viewpoint of the womwn who helped build it.'

Sheriff Gar Ferguson whose past is the subject of conjecture. Other characters - newspaper editor, his crippled wife, a doctor, a neurotic girl and lovesick boy.

 

Westerns were all the rage in primetime at this time and CBS had The Sheriff's Wife under development at the same time.
