Trama Created by David Dortort (also responsible for "Bonanza"), premiered on September 10, 1967 by NBC. The series starred veteran actor Leif Erickson and John Cannon, owner of the ranch called "El Gran Chaparral" located in the desert of Sonora (now Arizona). It was developed in the old American West is about the life of two families: Cannon and Montoya. Cannon's family consisted of John, a burly and tough ex-Army officer of the American Union, adventurous settler now determined to fight nature and Apache to keep his ranch up (something made clear to see for the first After extensive property: "This is my land and tame), and refined Mexican wife Victoria Montoya, daughter of a powerful rancher in the region nicknamed" The Lion of Sonora, Don Sebastian Montoya. Initially, John's wife was Annalee (Joan Caulfield) who get to wilderness area named the property as "El Gran Chaparral", but was later killed by the Apaches. Son Annalee and John was the sensitive and rookie Billy Blue, and with them was the loyal brother of John, Buck Cannon, committed to his work at the ranch (although easily distracted), more enthusiastic and impulsive that his brother and the only the Cannon with a great sense of humor.
Table of actors was completed with the fun and dissolute Manolo Montoya, commonly called Manolito, brother of Victoria. The latter had come to reside in The High Chaparral, because he disliked being treated as "the boss's son" in the farm of his father, Don Sebastian Montoya, who was played by Frank Silvera during the first seasons of the series, while between 1970 and 1971 Gilbert Roland was responsible for the role of Don Domingo Montoya, brother of Don Sebastian.
Another unique feature of this series is that it is not the cowboy hero, indomitable, incorruptible friend to all and is loyal only to himself, but they are a group of people that work well between other and form a real family in this tough environment. Finally the family relationships are marked by a realism rarely seen in such series.
