"The Last Hundred Miles" was one of the best episodes of the High Chaparral. Robert Clary of Hogan's Heroes fame was quite good as the crooked merchant. He was just over the top enough in the role of a megalomaniac to make his character work. As was common in television Westerns, historic characters are introduced into the fictional story. In this case, Michael Keep again plays a fair and even-handed version of Cochise. Keep had already played Cochise in 40 Guns to Apache Pass and it was a character he handled well.
Overall, this is a solid episode and if you like 1960s TV Westerns, you will enjoy this episode.
