I was reading a new Start-Trek novel named "Ishmael" where the author uses the the premise and all the characters from the old series, which I believe was called "HERE COMES THE BRIDES" . This was the series with Bobby Sherman and (I believe David Soul). The coincidence was that Mark Lenard, who played both Spock's father and a Romulan commander in Trek, played the not-so-bad bad guy Aaron Stemple, the mill owner, who bet the Bolt Bros. their mountain they couldn't marry off all the brides in a year. My question is : Did the series have any factual basis in the history of Seattle, or is the author just being real cute? Also, since there doesn't seem to be any rights acknowledgement of the series, did Paramount also own this series? Thanks in advance.
