Bonanza - Episode 11 - The Truckee Strip - Caught in the middle of a longtime family feud over a disputed piece of land, star-crossed lovers Joe Cartwright and Amy Bishop try to convince their stubborn fathers to resolve their differences as tension escalates into violence. Written by shepherd1138 The truckee Strip Director: Christian Nyby Writer: Herman Groves Stars: Lorne Greene, Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker Genre: Western Country: USA Language: English Release Date: 21 November 1959 USA Filming Locations: Big Bear Lake, Big Bear Valley, San Bernardino National Forest, California, USA Storyline: Several men cut down a tree on a piece of land known as the Truckee Strip. One of the Cartwright ranchhands, Trump (Charles Horvath), sees the work and hurries back to tell Ben. Two men approach the fallen tree. Jason Carter (S. John Launer) wonders why only one tree. Jessup (James Coburn) assures him that one is enough. Ben Cartwright and Luther Bishop will cause more thunder over this one tree than Carter's ever heard on that mountain. Reviews: "In this episode, Luther Bishop has a bad foreman that he doesn't know about. This foreman is trying to start something between Bishop and Ben Cartwright, and he almost succeeds! Mr. Bishop has a daughter. When Joe meets her, he of course falls in love with her. They don't really understand all the fighting their fathers are doing over the land and wish it would stop. Unfortunately, things get worse when Jessup learns they are seeing each other. This is an ending that sticks with me. In fact, today I had to leave the room so I wouldn't have to see the look on Joe's face when he discovers what had happened during the fight. Though they were planning to marry (with Ben's blessing), the marriage of course would never happen." Written by mitchrmp on IMDb.com "If you ever have watched many of the Bonanza episodes you will know that falling in love with a Cartwright always ends up poor for the guest star. And in this episode we have the beginning of the curse when little Joe falls in love with a neighboring girl named Amy Bishop. But there is a wrench thrown into the mix because the Cartwrights and the Bishops are in dispute over a tract of land called the Truckee Strip. Even though the feud between the families is history, it begins anew when a rich man thinks of a way to try to get the timber that is on the Bishop's property. He gets his roughs, led by James Coburn who just happens to be working at the Bishop's farm, to renew the feud and hopefully get Mr Bishop to sell the property so that he can get the lumber that he so much is seeking. The feud is interesting but the main part of the story is the feeling that Joe and Amy have for each other. In fact Joe believes that this is the woman that he wants to marry and even goes as far as to seek approval of his father and Amy's father. But things will not go as planned when a fight gets out of control which will break the heart of many. Having seen many shows in the series this was a routine script with predictable results. However if we were to revert back to 1959 and watch the first-run of this episode, I feel sure this would have been tugging at heartstrings and an enjoyable show. So I am giving this offering a good rating all in the name of not knowing the predictable results awaiting."
