Pozn.: Jack Schaefer’s classic western about John Russell, a white man raised by Indians. Following on from ‚Hombre’, last week’s Classic Western, today’s drama is the first radio production of ‚Shane’. It’s been adapted from Jack Shaefer’s novel by Frances Byrnes.
Radio 4′s Western double-bill continues on Saturday 30 March with Shane, when a mysterious horseman rides into an isolated valley in Wyoming.

A mysterious horseman, all dressed in black and wearing a six shooter, rides into an isolated valley in Wyoming. Call me Shane, he says. He’s a skilled gunslinger, and soon finds himself drawn into a conflict between homesteaders Marian and Joe Starrett and ruthless cattle baron Fletcher, who wants to force the Starretts off the land. Marian is caught between the strong, dependable husband whom she loves, and the lean, handsome stranger whom she needs if she’s to save her family.

The Oscar winning film ‚Shane‘ starred Paramount idol Alan Ladd in the title role, with Jean Arthur as Marian and Van Heflin as Joe.

Although the story of ‚Shane‘ is fictional, elements of it are based on the 1892 Johnson County War between the small settlers in Wyoming and the bigger, wealthier ranchers.

Shane is a western novel, written in 1949 by Jack Schaefer. Initially published in 1946 in three parts in Argosy Magazine. Originally titled ‚Rider from Nowhere.‘
The novel was translated into over 30 languages.

The story is set in 19th century Wyoming when it was still open to the Homestead Act of 1862. It is narrated by the homesteader’s son Bob. The original unclaimed land was used by a cattle driver named Luke Fletcher before the homestead was claimed by Bob’s father, Joe Starrett along with many other homesteaders. Luke Fletcher settled there first, although only so much land could be claimed as a homestead (only 160 acres). Luke Fletcher’s herd is at the verge of expanding to the point which the homesteads in the area are proving to be an interference. Shane is the mysterious stranger who comes into the lives of the homesteaders. He is tougher than the farmers who homestead the land. He helps them avoid the intimidation to abandon their farms to Fletcher. With Shane’s help the farmers are able to resist Fletcher.
