A Man Called Shenandoah is an American Western television series that aired Monday evenings on ABC-TV from September 13, 1965^[1] to May 16, 1966. It was produced by MGM Television. Some of the location work for the 34 half-hour black and white episodes were filmed in California's Sierra Nevada and Mojave Desert.^[2]

The series starred Robert Horton, who had costarred on Wagon Train from 1957 to 1962. He left that series, vowing never to do another television western,^[1] but agreed to star in A Man Called Shenandoah because he felt the show would be a great opportunity for him as an actor.^[3]^[4] The series is set in 1870 and portrays an amnesiac facing hardship and danger while trying to unravel his identity and his past.

Mr. Horton said he accepted the part because he saw the show's story as more interesting than that of a typical western. "Basically it's a character study of a man in search of his identity," he told The Daily News of New York.
