The Stacked Deck: From the Diary of Griff King (by Carla Keehn)
Summary: In the 14th and final season of “Bonanza”, the character of Griff King was introduced. Griff was pretty much a man of mystery, angry and distant from the Cartwrights, the scriptwriters never did provide many details of what events shaped Griff to become the man that he did. This story is a result of the few pieces of information the scriptwriters did provide, assisted, of course, by the imagination of the author!
