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.
