set in the vicinity of virginia city, nevada, during the years of the civil war, soon after the discovery of the faboulous comstock silver lode, bonanza was the story of a prosperous family of ranchers. wodower ben cartwright was the patriarch of the all-male clan and owner of the thousand-square-mile ponderosa ranch. each of the three sons had been borne by a different wife, non of whom was still alive. adam, the oldest of the half brothers, was the most serious and introspective, the likely successor to his father as the controlling force behind the sprawling cartwright holdings. hoss, the middle son, was a mountain of a man who was as gentle as he was huge, at times naive, and not particularly bright. little joe was the youngest, most impulsive, and most romantice of the cartwright of offspring.
the adventures of these men, individually and collectively, their dealings with the mining interests and the ranching interests, and the people whose paths crossed theirs made up the stories on bonanza.
