Frontier Gentleman
Advice to the Lovelorn
par
Frontier Gentleman follows British journalist J. B. Kendall as he travels through the American West in the years after the Civil War. Kendall, portrayed by John Dehner, records the people and events he encounters in his journal, bringing an observant outsider’s perspective to frontier life.
Each installment is a self-contained dramatic story, framed by Kendall’s first-person narration. His travels lead him into encounters with settlers, soldiers, outlaws, and other figures of the West, where personal conflicts and changing communities reveal the challenges of life on the frontier.
The series combines Western adventure with reflective storytelling. Dehner’s measured narration gives the program a distinctive, literary feel, while its sound and performances evoke a landscape shaped by hardship, ambition, and uncertainty.
