Reel Cowboys of the Santa Susanas -- Raymond Hatton


Raymond Hatton (1887–1971) was an American B-Western star who was best known as the wild and wooly, rip-snorting and tobacco-chewing Rusty Joslin in the Three Mesquiteers series, and the capable Marshal Sandy Hopkins in the Rough Riders series with Buck Jones and Tim McCoy. 

He appeared in almost 500 titles during a career that began in the earliest silent pictures and lasted well into the era of television.  

He is also remembered for his many appearances as Johnny Mack Brown's sidekick during the 1940s.  His final Western was, ironically, Requiem for a Gunfighter (1965).  He was one of my favorite actors -- he was the real deal cowboy relic, and a swell horseman to boot.
