Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A photographer and his niece visit the Ponderosa to sell the Cartwirghts some photographs. Give the name of the photographer.

Answer: Enos Blessing

Enos Blessing is a newcomer to Virginia City. He has opened a photography studio and also has a portable dark room in a wagon. He visits the Cartwrights one evening to make a sales pitch.

2. Niece George helps set up the Cartwright's for their photos. She tells Hoss he's stiffer than what?

Answer: a hard shell deacon

The Cartwright's probably have never sat for portraits before. Photographs are a new process. They don't know how to relax and be natural in front of the camera.

3. What is the name of the Virginia City studio Enos and George own?

Answer: Portraits in Silver

Silver is a vital ingredient in the processing of black and white photographs.

4. Cato Troxell's brother is convicted of murder in the beginning of the show. Judge Neely sentences him to hang by the neck until dead. What was the year, month and day he would hang?

Answer: September 6, 1868

Years and dates are rarely mentioned on "Bonanza". The series is set approximately 100 years before the series was filmed. At sentencing, the judge states "September 6th, year of Our Lord, 1868."

5. What was Cato Troxell's brother's name?

Answer: Isham

We hear Isham's name mentioned at his sentencing for murder. We see it later on his tombstone on Boot Hill.

6. Uncle Enos wanted his niece George to get a good education. Where did he want her to go to school?

Answer: a female academy

George says "I don't want to go to no female academy. Them things cost big money!"

7. When Uncle Enos tells George that he wants her to go back east to school, she balks. She says "I'll join a medicine show, become a saloon girl. I'll marry a __________".

Answer: a gambler

Rather than go to a female academy, George starts planning alternatives, not really serious about any of them. "I'll join a medicine show, become a saloon girl. I'll marry a gambler." Uncle Enos says "You can marry a Paiute if you want to, after you become a lady."

8. Enos wants Ben to get a photograph as a memorial. Joe says he has a better idea. What is Joe's idea of a memorial to his father?

Answer: his fine sons

When Enos proposes that Ben needs a memorial, Joe says he already has a memorial. His fine sons will be his memorial.

9. After the trial of Isham Troxell, Judge Neely is headed home for lunch. What is he looking forward to eating?

Answer: fried chicken, Northern style

Judge Neely is obviously a Northern raised and educated man. After Cato Troxell threatens him (Cato is obviously Southern), Judge Neely says he has to get home to his lunch, fried chicken, Northern style. The Northern style comment is meant to be a dig at Cato Troxell.

10. There is a different deputy in the office during this episode. Who is the officer in charge of the sheriff's office?

Answer: Milo

Milo has been working on the murder of Enos Blessing and hasn't had any sleep in three days. We've never seen Milo before, nor do we see him again.
