Shane is an American Western television series which aired on ABC in 1966. It was based on the 1949 book of the same name by Jack Schaefer and the 1953 classic film starring Alan Ladd.
- Shane began its life on the page. In 1946, 39-year-old journalist Jack Schaefer wrote a three-part Western story for Argosy Magazine. Rider From Nowhere told the story of pioneers trying to make a home in the Wyoming Territory with land acquired via the Homestead Act of 1882.
- It’s based on a true story. If you have any interest in American history and Western folklore, you’ve probably heard of the Johnson County War. This violent conflict pitted ragtag homesteaders against established ranchers and cattle companies who sought to acquire public domain land in the Wyoming Territory during the 1890s.
- The 1953 film won an Oscar. Alan Ladd, then best known for film noir, was cast as the title character in George Stevens’ 1953 movie version for Paramount.
- The TV show is both a sequel and a reboot. The series does not retell the movie story; rather, it picks up where the film left off, but with key changes.
