Bonanza  premiered on September 12, 1959. Bonanza chronicles the story of Ben Cartwright and his three sons Adam, Hoss and Little Joe, while running one of the largest ranch's in the west. The Cartwright's thousand-square-mile Ponderosa Ranch is located near Virginia City, Nevada, site of the Comstock Silver Lode, during and after the Civil War. Each of the sons was born to a different wife of Ben's; none of the mothers lived through childbirth, but left Ben with strong sons to raise on his own. Ben isn't your typical rancher that is depicted in westerns; only interested in his ranch and his own well being, he is interested in his fellow man and so he and his sons help many in the surrounding community through the rough times of the wild west.
