The Rifleman - Season 1 Episode 16
The Sheridan Story

Frank Blandon, a man with only one good arm, wanders on to the ranch. Lucas gave Blandon a job to ""hire him and Mark a clear conscience"". General Sheridan and his patrol wandered by and Lucas offered to let them stay the night at the ranch. Blandon pulled a gun on General Sheridan, as it turned out Blandon was a confederate soldier, who once had General Sheridan in his gun sight during the war. Blandon hung fire, but Sheridan did not hesitate and blew out Blandons shoulder. General Sheridan shamed Blandon out of exacting his revenge, then lifted Blandons spirit by praising Johnny Rebs fighting spirit. Sheridan ordered that Blandon be taken to a hospital to have his shoulder properly mended, carrying out his Commander in Chiefs last order to ""Bind up the Nations wounds.""
