My first memory of Robert Horton was on "Wagon Train". He was one of my first "crushes" ... as he was extremely good looking and played such a good guy.
What made me think of him recently is that I was watching "Alfred Hitchcock" and he was in two episodes...of course, he did not disappoint! (though I was disappointed to learn of his passing in 2016).
Rest in Peace, Flint !

I've watched every episode of wagon train, even now, he was a great actor. My married name is DIANA HESS, but my maiden name is, DIANA HORTON. born in Detroit, raised in the small town of HARBOR BEACH, MICHIGAN. My Father(Louis Horton), also watched every show that Robert was in. May he RIP.

I adored Mr. Horton with his acting and singing voice. As a little girl I always watched Wagon Train and thought he was one good looking fellow. To this day I still watch that show. I know he is no longer with us but just had to say how much I enjoyed his acting and I know there are many out there that still miss him. Rest in Peace Mr. Horton. You are still remembered.

I have returned to Wagon Train at 69 this year of 2024.
I loved Flint, his acting, singing and just overall presence in the show. I find it comforting to go back and feel a little lighter. It was such a great show to grow up with and again to return to watch.

Flint was the most handsome man on TV back in the day. Robert Horton had a smile teen age girls would swoon over. Now at 76, I still swoon over the man.
I will start searching for his music and remember how I much I loved him.

Growing up my dad and I were western buffs. Wagon Train we watched all the episodes that were made. I still am watching and every time I watch Wagon Train and see Robert my eyes become dreamy as if I am 16 years old. Robert was the "Total Package" - debonair, handsome, a smile that would make you melt like butter, and that voice when he would sing- "Oh My". God Bless.

I never watched Wagon Train as a kid growing up. When COVID struck us a few years ago I started watching INSP western shows. Watched a couple of Wagon Train episodes but it was episodes that Robert Horton didn´t star in. Finally I watched him as Flint, Wagon Trains scout and that was luv at first sight! I have been watching Flint on WTrain ever since that first time I saw him. Robert Horton was a great actor on every show I saw him acting in. I did a lot of research on him and found out about his theater work and his singing career. Oh that singing voice. I have him recorded singing several songs in theater, for the Queen and TV shows. I will continue to watch Wagon Train until I have seen ALL the episodes with Robert(Flint M.) Horton

I was born in México and in 1972 I moved to Chicago, so I wasn't aware of Robert Horton or 'Wagon Train' at all. Now in 2023, I live in San Diego were they play 'Wagon Train' every afternoon - so, I am now devoted to watch that great show and to appreciate the great actor Robert Horton is. I watch him every day and admire him every day!

Robert Horton was just perfect and I watched every episode of Wagon Train when I was 13/14 years old. I was bewitched by him. I just heard the song to Wagon Train sung by Robert Horton, and it brought back all the memories of that time in my life. So poignant and nostalgic. There will never be any one like him to me. He was absolutely stunning, both in his looks and acting. I hope, wherever you are now, you are enjoying a magical time in that other world.

I watched Wagon Train when it came on tv when I was a teenager in High School in the 50's in Michigan. Loved the series then and enjoy it in reruns now and I am in my 80's. He had a wonderful singing voice and I wish I could have seen him in the musical plays. What a great actor! He is missed in my house but thankful for all the Wagon Train episodes that I can still watch. He was Flint McCullough!!

i never knew about Wagon ourTrain and our beloved Robert Horton in the fabulous series that he was the Scout for. I never thought that I would be watching our Hero Robert Horton as Flint McCullough the indian Scout of Wagon Train who has brought me to a different level of my life. He has lifted my spirits to the heavens, and my life is better having been in this fabulous group that is always coforting and watching all his episodes gives me the strength to go on. Love Robert horton Forever. May he Rest In Peace and watch over all of those who love him and is in their hearts. AMEN

My condolence to his wife. She must miss him after such an enduring marriage. Robert was handsome, very manly. Something missing in this new generation. I just discovered watching wagon train and looked Robert up on biography. Can´t wait to listen to his singing voice. I am also a fan of his replacement Robert Fuller very similar, they shared the same birthdate, only 9 years apart. Just really great old shows. My husband watches it with me! Claims nothing like gun smoke and wagon train! And yes people like me do read these! Lol

Robert Horton was so handsome, and I had a huge crush on him as a 12 year old. Just started watching reruns of Wagon Train again after 54 years and love seeing him act in them. When I was older, I saw him in “Pajama Game” in Wichita, Kansas. He could act, sing, and just looked so handsome. A great talent and a great star.

Finally, there is a Bio written about Robert Horton, I just ordered it, I always felt this man was ignored by Hollywood, now we have additional recognition Flint was here, & all his fans can know everything they always wanted to know about him, a multi-talented successful performer, into his older years I always felt comfortable knowing he was there, our last link to the wonderful past of the first years of Wagon Train, we fans were children, we loved him, sad he is gone, may he RIP, we miss you Robert.

An awesome actor who did not just play a character but always fully developed the character including a background. He and Ward Bond though not always seeing eye to eye on things never let those differences show in the portrayal of their characters on Wagon Train. They were both true professionals Loved the show when I was. Kid and have rediscovered it during theses trying times of COVID 19. Makes me feel good and the good guys like Horton , Bond and the other regulars help me to have faith in humankind. I know it was just a show but there was and continues to be people like theses guys in the real world. I’ve been lucky enough to know more than a few of them. When they leave this world, they leave us these wonderful legacies, some times in the form of old TV shows like Wagon Train. Rest In Peace to all these people.
