Frontier Gentleman

by

Frontier Gentleman follows British journalist J. B. Kendall as he travels through the American West in the 1870s, recording the people and events he encounters. John Dehner stars as Kendall, whose outsider’s perspective brings a reporter’s curiosity to stories of frontier life.

Each episode is presented as a dispatch from Kendall’s travels, combining his first-person narration with dramatic scenes and a cast of supporting performers. The stories range across the varied lives and conflicts of the West, from encounters with settlers and lawmen to the challenges of travel and survival.

The series blends adventure with a reflective, sometimes wry tone. Dehner’s measured delivery gives the program the feel of a personal journal, while its sound and performances evoke a landscape in which danger, hardship, and unexpected kindness can all shape a journey.
