Description: The show is set in the 1870s, and revolves around "Big John" Cannon, a rancher living in the dry desert of the southern Arizona Territory, near the Mexican border, in Apache Indian country. John runs a ranch, called "The High Chaparral" (named by his first wife Anna-Lee, for a local plant/brush), with his brother Buck and his own son Billy Blue. Blue Boy's mother, Anna-Lee Cannon, is killed in the first episode by an attacking Apache Indian arrow.
