Adam actually had two sorrel geldings. The first was Beauty, but he was too highstrung to work in front of the cameras. You will notice him in the early episodes always tossing his head. He was replaced with Sport.
Adam's chestnut gelding was called Sport.
the Cartwrights owned 1,000sq. miles.

Bonanza was the term for a large gold strike during the 'gold fever' days of the old west. The Poderosa was worth it's weight in gold with timber and cattle as a source of revenue, a real 'bonanza' for the lucky Cartwrights.
Adam was the only Cartwright with a fancy east coast education but when on the Ponderosa he was a rancher like Pa, Hoss and Little Joe.

It was claimed that the Good Guys, the Catrwright bros, never fired their weapons in anger on Bonanza, there was gunplay but it was done by bad guys and police/western Marshals, etc) one can draw an analogy to the television version of Dragnet. in the entire run of the show, Sergeant Friday never fired his revolver and seldom drew it. Dragnet deliberately de-emphasized gunplay.
The Cartwrights employed a Chinese cook named Hop Sing.
Originally airing on Saturday nights, Bonanza was off to a slow start, buried under the legal genuis of Perry Mason. But when it was moved to Sundays at 9:00 pm, the Cartwrights became America's favorite family for the next 12 years of their run.
The clothing the Cartwrights wore every week were pretty authentic for the time period and status of the family. Although it was understood that the Cartwrights were wealthy, they ran a working ranch where every member worked very hard just as their hired men did.
