Characters and Story
Until 1950, the Sunday strip and the daily strip both told the same story, following the adventures of Casey Ruggles and his companions on a wagon train to the gold fields of California.
Some early dailies were ghosted by Al Plastino. Some later strips were ghosted by Alex Toth and Ruben Moreira. Tufts did not write or draw the Sunday strip between 31 August 1953 and 30 January 1954. The last Tufts' daily was 3 April 1954, and his last Sunday was on 5 September 1954.
The strip continued for a short while with Al Carreño as artist and writer.
