Chief, in John Wayne's post war movies, i.e. She Wore a Yellow Ribbon and Rio Grande, Ben Johnson played the token Southerner in his unit. I think he had been a Captain, named Tyree. I don't remember if he was in Fort Apache. In Rio Grande, I believe, Claude Jarman, of Bambi fame, played Maureen Ohara's and Wayne's son. He had burned her plantation during the war, causing her to kick him to the curb. Jarman had enlisted when he flunked out of West Point, and Ohara came west to get him out. Of course he stayed. Stan
