Broken Arrow is a Western series which ran on ABC-TV in prime time from 1956 through 1958 on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Repeat episodes were shown by ABC on Sunday afternoons during the 1959–60 season. Selected repeats were then shown once again in prime time during the summer of 1960.
If you're intrigued by the TV series Broken Arrow, you owe it to yourself to explore its literary root, the novel Blood Brother by Elliott Arnold. While the series captures the tension and drama of Native American and settler interactions, the book delves much deeper into the emotional and cultural nuances that cannot be fully encapsulated on screen. Arnold’s detailed narrative and rich character development provide an immersive experience that explores the complexities of the time period with great authenticity. Reading Blood Brother offers an opportunity to engage with the source material in a way that television simply cannot match. The novel allows for a broader perspective on the historical context and motivations of its characters. Arnold's nuanced portrayal of Tom Jeffords and the iconic Apache leader Cochise adds layers to their personalities, inviting readers to sympathize with and understand their struggles on a profound level. Immerse yourself in a story where the written word paints a picture more vivid and revealing than any adaptation can hope to achieve.
