Henry Fonda's first television series was this western, set in the Arizona territory in 1880 (as Fonda's character often said during an opening narration on many episodes.) Fonda's sequences were shot all at once each season so that he would be free the rest of the year to pursue film and theater work.

The following two episodes have fallen into the public domain: The Deputy: The Hard Decision (1961) and The Deputy: The Return of Widow Brown (1961).

In one episode Frank Cady plays a shop keeper not unlike his more famous role of Sam Drucker.
