| “HIS FATHER’S SON” 
Mr. and Mrs. Edwards adopt John Sanderson. John is a lot more interested in books than farming or hunting. Mr. Edwards tries to make him different and buys him a gun for his birthday. John, not wanting to hurt Mr. Edwards' feelings, gives him a letter explaining why he didn't want to hunt. Mr. Edwards says nothing about what is written and John thinks it is because he is not loved. They go hunting and encounter a bear. Isaiah is hurt when John freezes up and is unable to shoot the bear. He goes and gets help for Mr. Edwards. Later, John finds out that Isaiah can't read and thus was unable to read his letter about his feelings on hunting.
 This is a sad episode. There are a lot of emotions in this one. Mr. Edwards wanting to bond with John gets him a rifle thinking that will make him share an experience he likes…
Then poor Mr. Edwards can’t read the letter making John think what he wrote was not an ounce of importance… then when the bear attacked Mr. Edwards John froze… I don’t know what I would do in that situation… it is easy to SAY that you will react in a certain manner but once you find yourself in something like that… your nerves can do tricks on you… poor John

| Not my Fav. My brothers are always scared when the bears attack Edwards. They make me fast-foward through it, even after I told them it was just ML dressed up! I did feel sorry for John, though.

| Rhonda wrote: | Some trivia for you on this episode......... 
Trivia note: The livestock company brought up the horses, and along with them, a deer and black bear for location shots at Basin Creek. When the bear seen in the close-ups attacks Mr. Edwards, it's not stunt coordinator Hal Burton in the costume. Michael Landon decided he would wear the bear costume himself for the mauling of Mr. Edwards!!

I bet that was a fun scene for him - it must have been hard to concentrate on it being so serious. |

I just did a quick Google search of frontier girl and the new url popped up at the top of the list. I was looking at the family section and I never knew that two pairs of Charles and Caroline's siblings got married. |

| Savannah wrote: | | Well, that, too, Gary. But, in real life, Caroline's younger sister Eliza married Charles's older brother Peter. Plus Caroline's older brother Henry married Charles's younger sister, Polly. There were a lot of double cousins in that family! LOL! |

I think it was a rather common thing back them. This happened in my family too: there were a lot of double cousins. It was a consequence of growing up together.
