(IMO) - "Cowboy G-Men" (from 1952) is a vintage TV Western that had both its fair share of good moments, as well as its not-so-good moments, too.This show chronicles the adventures of Pat Gallagher and Stoney Crockett who are trusted government agents with a mission to bring peace and justice to the West.
A previous reviewer pointed out that G-Men was not a term used in the old West during the time period in which the program was set. No kidding.
COWBOY G-MEN presages THE WILD, WILD WEST by over a decade. This little-known 1952-53 series shares with its cult favorite successor the inventive concept of two government men in the Old West investigating those crimes too big for mere marshals and sheriffs.
Someone was not too up on his American history in the creation of this show which had G-Men, the slang term for FBI agents out there in boots and chaps in the old west. The Federal Bureau Of Investigation was not founded until the Theodore Roosevelt Administration under Attorney General Charles J.
