Mark Trail |
|
Battling the raging elements! Fighting the savage wilderness! Striking at the enemies of man and nature! One man's name resounds from snow capped
mountains down across the sun-baked plains! Maaaaarrrrrrkkkk Trail! A Sunday comics section feature
conceived by Ed Dodd, Mark
Trail was a pipe-smoking, dark
haired forest ranger who loved nature and told of its wonders. The strip was
a great way for city kids to learn something about the big woods. For
example, kids learned about the tracks of animals, and what they did in the
winter when there was no food. As brought to radio on
Mutual by Kellogg's Pep cereal, the Mark Trail of radio was more an
"eco-warrior". Director Drexel Hines made action-hero Mark into a forest ranger who
patrolled the wilderness ready to stop baddies while teaching his pals Scotty and Cherry about nature, all wrapped up in an exciting, action-packed radio
show. Mark Trail was well played by Matt Crowley who had previously spent many years in the role of Jungle
Jim. Mark Trail's adventures
were good, intelligent fun, and probably gave many future nature lovers one
of their first chances to get excited about wild America. Want

stand-alone 30 minute adventures were broadcast 3 times a week from January
1950 until June 1951. A series of 15 minute continuing episodes were produced
in 1952 (without Matt Crowley). As very few episodes of this latter series
have survived, they have not been included here. However 35 episodes of the
30 minute stand-alone series are available and comprise the contents this MP3
