Stories of the Century is a Western television series that ran in syndication through Republic Pictures between January 23, 1954, and March 11, 1955.

Jim Davis (who later played "Jock Ewing" on the television series Dallas) portrayed the role of fictitious Southwestern Railroad detective Matt Clark. Davis also did narration for each episode. Mary Castle co-starred in twenty-six episodes as Clark’s attractive assistant, Frankie Adams. Castle left the program and was replaced by Kristine Miller who appeared in fourteen episodes as Margaret Jones, or "Jonesy". 


In 1955, Stories of the Century became the first western to win an Emmy Award in the then category of "Western or Adventure Series".


These can all be found at archive.org, but I set up an rss feed so they can be added easily to an iPod, or other media player. Can also just download easily also. The feed page is here.
