Conagher was written by Louis L'Amour (Lamoore) about life in the West around the end of the 19th century, with trouble with the Indians, rustlers, and a widow woman (Katherine Ross) tryimg to raise her children on a hard scrabble farm. Conagher comes to their aid.

L'Amour was a student of Western history. He understood the common man, having worked as a cowboy, circus roustabout, merchant seaman, boxer and served in the U.S.Navy. He was also a prolific writer of Western fiction, among other things.

This is not the first L'Amour story that Elliott has played in. He also performed as Tell Sackett in The Sacketts, which was an amalgamation of several of Louis's stories in that series on that family.

This story of Conagher was one of his good stories, which you will find typical of L'Amour's writing...good entertainment.

What's wrong with making good westerns?
Is there some problem with making westerns now days? Seems like most of the new ones look like biker gangs playing dress-up. After all the great westerns that John Wayne made most of the new ones are pretty blah. All you need is a good Louis L'Amour story, and there are plenty of them, and some great actors like Sam Elliott and Katherine Ross. I guess films like this are to good for us poor folk. Enjoy this one because there aren't too many of them around. The actors seemed to know just what L'Amour had in mind and did a great job of showing it. They have a feel for the western movie and fit in so easily that they don't look like they are someone pretending they are someone else. Go, go, westerns and Sam Elliott.
