Frontier Gentleman
The Honkytonkers
von
Frontier Gentleman follows British journalist J. B. Kendall as he travels through the American West in the years after the Civil War. Played by John Dehner, Kendall observes frontier life with the curiosity of an outsider and the practiced eye of a reporter, encountering people whose ambitions, hardships, and conflicts reveal a changing West.
Each installment is presented as one of Kendall’s dispatches, framed by his first-person narration. The stories range across frontier communities and the people who inhabit them, bringing listeners into a world of cattle towns, isolated settlements, and uncertain justice. The series combines the perspective of a traveling correspondent with the immediacy of radio drama.
The result is a thoughtful Western with a measured, reflective tone. Dehner’s composed delivery gives Kendall a distinctive presence, while the dramatic scenes and sound-rich settings bring the landscape and its dangers to life. It offers a more observant take on the Western adventure, attentive not only to action but also to the people and choices that shape life on the frontier.
