He is a lawyer and was once known as `` the deadliest shot in Maycomb County '' . Although he was a good shot , he does not like to mention the fact as he does not like the thought of having an advantage over people . He appears to support racial equality and was appointed to represent Tom Robinson , a black man who has been accused of raping a young white woman , Mayella Ewell . The town disapproves of him defending Tom especially when he makes clear his intent to defend Tom Robinson to the best of his abilities . He is portrayed by Gregory Peck in the film adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird . `` Scout '' Finch ( edit ) Jean Louise `` Scout '' Finch is the narrator and To Kill a Mockingbird is told by an adult Scout who often comments on how she could not understand something at the time but now can appreciate it . She gets in trouble with her teacher Miss Caroline because Miss Caroline expects Scout to learn reading and writing her way . She is a tomboy and spends the most of her time with her brother Jem and best friend Dill . To Jem 's advice to pretend to be a lady and start sewing or something , she answers ' Hell no . ' The rare hints the narrator gives us about her grown - up life reveal that she ultimately has n't changed herself for others . She matures from age 6 to age 9 as the novel progresses but remains naive and idealistic , despite an increased understanding of human nature and racism in her town . At the beginning of the book , Scout is confused by some of the words and names she hears people directing towards her father , such as `` nigger - lover '' . Being only six , Scout does not know how to handle such situations so she tries to resolve her problems by fighting , or by talking to Atticus about what she has heard . By the end of the book , Scout realizes that racism does exist and comes to terms with its presence in her town . Scout also learns how to deal with others , including the Finch family housekeeper , Calpurnia , and her aunt , Alexandra . Scout is the only one of the novel 's primary three children ( Dill , Jem , and herself ) to see and speak to Boo Radley during the course of the novel and realize that he is harmless , despite her initial fear of him . She also stops a mob that is trying to lynch Tom Robinson by talking to the mob leader , Mr. Cunningham , about inviting his son , Walter , over for dinner . Mr. Cunningham then tells the other mob members to get back in their cars and leave them alone . The members listen , and Scout unintentionally saves Tom Robinson 's life . She is portrayed by Mary Badham in the film adaption of To Kill a Mockingbird . Notable quote : `` Until I feared I would lose it , I never loved to read . One does not love breathing . '' `` Jem '' Finch ( edit ) Jeremy Atticus `` Jem '' Finch is Atticus ' son and Scout 's older brother by four years . Jem matures greatly throughout the course of the novel , much more affected by events than Scout seems to be . Being four years Scout 's senior , Jem is seen to have a greater understanding of - and therefore greater difficulty in navigating - the obstacles thrown their way . Jem is seen explaining many things to Scout throughout the novel . Bob Ewell breaks Jem 's arm , subsequently resulting in it being shorter than it had been , in an attempt to protect his sister . He is portrayed by Phillip Alford in the film adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird . Dill Harris ( edit ) Charles Baker `` Dill '' Harris is a short , smart boy who visits Maycomb every summer from Meridian , Mississippi , and stays with his Aunt Rachel ( Aunt Stephanie in the film ) . Dill is the best friend of both Jem and Scout , and his goal throughout the novel is to get Boo Radley to come out of his house . The children concoct many plans to lure Boo Radley out of his house for a few summers until Atticus tells them to stop . In chapter 5 of the novel , Dill promises to marry Scout and they become `` engaged '' . One night Dill runs away from his home in Meridian , arriving in Maycomb County where he hides under Scout 's bed . When she finds Dill , he tells both Scout and Atticus that he was chained to a wall in his father 's basement ; later , he confesses he actually ran away because he felt he was being replaced by his stepfather . Before Dill returned to Meridian after the summer , he went swimming with Jem at the Barker 's Eddy creek . Scout , unfortunately , was unable to participate , because both boys were swimming naked . Unlike Scout and Jem , Dill lacks the security of family support . He is unwanted and unloved by his mother and stepfather : `` They do get on a lot better without me , I can not help them any . '' As Francis ( a cousin of Jem and Scout ) says , `` He has n't got a home , he just gets passed around from relative to relative . '' Dill maintains he has no father ; he does n't know where his father might live , or if he will ever come back . He is played by John Megna in the film adaption of To Kill a Mockingbird . This character is believed to be based on author Truman Capote , a childhood friend of Harper Lee . Calpurnia ( edit ) Calpurnia , nicknamed Cal , is the Finch family 's African - American housekeeper , whom the children love and Atticus deeply respects ( he remarks in her defense that she `` never indulged ( the children ) like most colored nurses '' ) . She is highly regarded by Atticus . She is an important figure in Scout 's life , providing discipline , instruction , and love . She also fills the maternal role for the children after their mother 's death . Calpurnia is a mother herself and raised her son , Zeebo , to adulthood . Calpurnia is one of the few black characters in the novel who is able to read and write , and it is she who taught Scout to write . She learned how to read from Miss Maudie 's aunt , Miss Buford , who taught her how to read out of Blackstone 's Commentaries , a book given to her . Aunt Alexandra despised Calpurnia because Alexandra believed that Calpurnia was not a `` maternal figure '' for Jem and Scout , especially for Scout . Calpurnia is a member of the First Purchase M.E. African Church in Maycomb . While Scout always hears her speak proper English , she is surprised to learn that Calpurnia does not do so at church , especially with the uneducated members of the congregation . While everyone in the novel is filtered through Scout 's perception , Calpurnia in particular appears for a long time more as Scout 's idea of her than as a real person . At the beginning of the novel , Scout appears to think of Calpurnia as the wicked stepmother to Scout 's own Cinderella . However , towards the end of the book , Scout views Calpurnia as someone she can look up to , and realizes Calpurnia has only protected her over the years . She is played by Estelle Evans in the film . Arthur `` Boo '' Radley ( edit ) Arthur `` Boo '' Radley is a recluse in To Kill a Mockingbird . Maycomb children believe he is a horrible person , due to the rumors spread about him and a trial he underwent as a teenager . It is implied during the story that Boo is a very lonely man who attempts to reach out to Jem and Scout for love and friendship , such as leaving them small gifts and figures in a tree knothole . Scout finally meets him at the very end of the book , when he saves the children 's lives from Bob Ewell . Scout describes him as being sickly white , with a thin mouth , thin and feathery hair , and grey eyes , almost as if he were blind . During the same night , when Boo whispers to Scout to walk him back to the Radley house , Scout takes a moment to picture what it would be like to be Boo Radley . While standing on his porch , she realizes his `` exile '' inside his house is really not that lonely . Boo Radley 's heroics in protecting the children from Bob Ewell are covered up by Atticus , Sheriff Tate , and Scout . This can be read as a wise refusal of fame . As Tate notes , if word got out that Boo killed Ewell , Boo would be inundated with gifts and visits , calamitous for him due to his reclusive personality . The precocious Scout recognizes the danger : renown would `` kill the mockingbird '' . Boo Radley is a ghost who haunts the book yet manifests himself at just the right moments in just the right way . He is , arguably , the most potent character in the whole book and as such , inspires the other key characters to save him when he needs saving . After the Tom Robinson trial , Jem and Scout have a different understanding of Boo Radley . `` Scout , I think I 'm beginning to understand something . I think I 'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley 's stayed shut up in the house all this time ... it 's because he wants to stay inside . '' ( 23.117 ) Having seen a sample of the horrible things their fellow townspeople can do , choosing to stay out of the mess of humanity does n't seem like such a strange choice . When Boo finally does come out , he has a good reason : Bob Ewell is trying to murder the Finch children . No one sees what happens in the scuffle , but at the end of it , Ewell is dead and Boo carries an unconscious Jem to the Finch house . Finally faced with Boo , Scout does n't recognize him at first , but suddenly realizes who he is . Boo Radley is played by Robert Duvall in the film . Judge John Taylor ( edit ) Judge John Taylor is a white - haired old man with a reputation for running his court in an informal fashion and an enjoyment of singing and dipping tobacco . He is unimportant to the children until he presides over the Tom Robinson trial , in which he shows great distaste for the Ewells and great respect for Atticus . Because of the judge 's sympathies for Tom , Bob Ewell breaks into the judge 's house while the judge 's wife is at church . After the trial , Miss Maudie points out to the children that the judge had tried to help Tom by appointing Atticus to the case instead of Maxwell Green , the new , untried lawyer who usually received court - appointed cases . Judge Taylor knew that Atticus was the only man who would stand a chance at acquitting Tom , or at least would be able to keep the jury thinking for more than just a few minutes . By doing this , Judge Taylor was not giving in or supporting racism . He is portrayed in the film by Paul Fix . Miss Maudie Atkinson ( edit ) Miss Maude `` Maudie '' Atkinson lives across the street from the Finch family . She had known the Finches for many years , having been brought up on the Buford place , which was near the Finches ' ancestral home , Finch 's Landing . She is described as a woman of about 50 who enjoys baking and gardening ; her cakes are especially held in high regard . However , she is frequently harassed by devout `` Foot - Washing Baptists '' , who tell her that her enjoyment of gardening is a sin . The Foot - Washing Baptists also believe that women are a sin as well . Miss Maudie befriends Scout and Jem and tells them stories about Atticus as a boy . It is strongly implied that she and Atticus have a more than platonic relationship . Also , she is one of the few adults that Jem and Scout hold in high regard and respect . She does not act condescendingly towards them , even though they are young children . During the course of the novel , her house burns down ; however , she shows remarkable courage throughout this ( even saying that she wanted to burn it down herself to make more room for her flowers ) . She is not prejudiced , though she talks caustically to Miss Stephanie Crawford , unlike many of her Southern neighbors , and teaches Scout important lessons about racism and human nature . It is important to note that Miss Maudie fully explains that `` it is a sin to kill a mockingbird '' , whereas Atticus Finch initially brings up the subject but does n't go into depth . When Jem gets older , and does n't want to be bothered by Scout , Miss Maudie keeps her from getting angry . Maudie is played by Rosemary Murphy in the film . She is a very kind and sweet innocent friendly neighbor . Bob Ewell ( edit ) Robert E. Lee `` Bob '' Ewell is the main antagonist of To Kill a Mockingbird . He has a daughter named Mayella and a younger son named Burris , as well as six other unnamed children . He is an alcoholic , poaching game to feed his family because he spends whatever money they legally gain via government `` relief checks '' on alcohol . It is implied , and evidence suggests , that he was the one who abused his daughter Mayella , not Tom Robinson ( the African American man accused of doing so ) . Although most everybody in town knows that the Ewells are a disgrace and not to be trusted , it is made clear that Tom Robinson was convicted because he is a Negro whose accuser is white . Upon hearing of Tom 's death , Bob is absolutely gleeful , gloating about his success . After being humiliated at the trial , however , he goes on a quest for revenge , becoming increasingly violent . He begins by spitting in Atticus ' face , followed by a failed attempt to break into the home of Judge Taylor , then finally menacing Helen , the poor widow of Tom Robinson . Ewell later attempts to murder Jem and Scout Finch with a knife to complete his revenge . Boo Radley saves Jem and Scout and it is believed that he kills Ewell with the knife . Heck Tate , the sheriff , puts in the official report that Bob Ewell fell on his own knife and died after lying under a tree for 45 minutes . Ewell is played by James Anderson in the film . Mayella Ewell ( edit ) Mayella Violet Ewell , 19 , is the oldest of the eight Ewell children . Before the trial , Mayella is noted for growing red geraniums outside her otherwise dirty home in order to bring some beauty into her life . Due to her family 's living situation , Mayella has no opportunity for human contact or love . She eventually gets so desperate that she attempts to seduce a black man , Tom Robinson , by saving up nickels to send her siblings to go get ice cream so that Mayella can be alone with Tom . Her father sees this through a window and in punishment he beats her . Ewell then finds the sheriff , Heck Tate , and tells him that his daughter has been raped and beaten by Tom . At the trial , Atticus points out that only the right side of Mayella 's face is injured , suggesting a left - handed assailant ; Tom 's left arm is mangled and useless , but Bob Ewell is left - handed . When Atticus asks her if she has any friends , she becomes confused because she does not know what a friend is . During her testimony she is confused by Atticus ' polite speech and thinks that his use of `` Miss Mayella '' is meant to mock her . She testifies against Tom Robinson . Mayella is played by Collin Wilcox in the film . Tom Robinson ( edit ) Thomas `` Tom '' Robinson is an African - American who is put on trial for the rape of a white woman , Mayella Ewell . Atticus is assigned to defend him , and stands up to a lynch mob intent on exacting their own justice against him before the trial begins . Tom 's left arm is crippled and useless , the result of an accident with a cotton gin when he was a child . Atticus uses this fact as the cornerstone of his defense strategy , pointing out that the nature of Mayella 's facial injuries strongly suggest a left - handed assailant . Tom testifies that he had frequently helped Mayella with household chores because he felt sorry for her and the family 's difficult life - a statement that shocks the all - white , male jury . Despite Atticus ' skilled defense , the jury 's racial prejudices lead them to find Tom guilty . Atticus plans to appeal the verdict , but before he can do so , Tom is shot and killed while trying to escape the prison where he is being held . Tom Robinson is played by Brock Peters . Aunt Alexandra ( edit ) Alexandra Hancock ( née Finch ) is Atticus ' and Jack 's sister , married to James `` Uncle Jimmy '' Hancock . She has a son named Henry and a very spoiled grandson named Francis . Around the middle of the book , Aunt Alexandra decides to leave her husband at Finch 's Landing , the Finch family homestead to come stay with the Finches . Aunt Alexandra does n't consider the black Calpurnia to be a very good motherly figure for Jem and Scout ; she disapproves of Scout being a tomboy and wants to make Scout into a southern belle ( encouraging her to act more ' lady like ' ) . This is the cause of many conflicts between Scout and Alexandra throughout the course of the novel . However , as the trial progresses , Scout comes to see how much her aunt cares for her father and what a strong woman she is . This is especially evidenced by a tea party when Scout is horrified by the racism displayed , and her aunt and Miss Maudie help her deal with her feelings . By the end of the book , it 's clear that Alexandra cares very much for her niece and nephew , though she and Scout will probably never really get along . Minor characters ( edit ) Jack Finch ( edit ) John Hale `` Jack '' Finch is Atticus ' and Alexandra 's younger brother . ( He is about 40 , which is 10 years younger than Atticus . ) Jack smells like alcohol and something sweet , and is said that he and Alexandra have similar features . Jack is a childless doctor who can always make Scout and Jem laugh , and they adore him . He and Miss Maudie are close to the same age ; he frequently teases her with marriage proposals , which she always declines . Jack also has a pet cat named Rose Aylmer , who is mentioned during the Christmas visit . Francis Hancock ( edit ) Francis Hancock is the spoiled grandson of Aunt Alexandra . ( The son of her son , Henry Hancock . ) Every Christmas , Henry and his wife drop Francis at Finch 's Landing , which is the only time Scout and Jem see him . Francis lives in Mobile , Alabama , and is a bit of a tattle - tale . He gets along well with Jem , but often spars with Scout . One Christmas , Francis calls Atticus a `` n * * * * * - lover , '' as well as insisting that he was ruining the family and the likes , which infuriates Scout and causes them to get into a fight . Francis lies about his role in it , telling Uncle Jack that Scout started it by calling him a `` whore lady '' , and Jack therefore punishes Scout . However , she explains the full story and charitably persuades her uncle not to punish Francis about it , but to let Atticus think they had been fighting about something else ( although Atticus later discovers the truth ) . Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose ( edit ) Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose is an elderly woman who lives near the Finches . She is hated by the children , who run by her house to avoid her . Scout describes Mrs. Dubose as `` plain hell . '' A virulent racist , she calls Atticus a `` nigger - lover '' to his children 's faces , and Jem flies into a rage and ravages Mrs. Dubose 's camellia bushes . As a punishment , Jem is required to read to Mrs. Dubose each day for a month . As Jem reads , she experiences a fit of drooling and twitching and does not seem to pay any attention to the words . When an alarm rings , Jem is allowed to leave for the day . She extends the punishment for one extra week and dies shortly after letting Jem go for the last time . Atticus informs him that Mrs. Dubose was terminally ill and had become addicted to morphine . By reading to her , Jem had distracted her so that she could break the addiction . In thanks , she leaves him a candy box with a camellia flower in it ; Jem burns the box in anger , but is later seen by Scout admiring the flower . Atticus tells Jem that Mrs. Dubose was the bravest person he ever knew , and she was trying to teach Jem the importance of bravery and true courage to endure anything when the situation is hopeless , as in her morphine addiction . Mr. Heck Tate ( edit ) Mr. Heck Tate is a friend of Atticus and also the sheriff of Maycomb County . He believes in protecting the innocent although he does n't usually show it . When Tom has been locked in jail and a lynch mob turns up to kill him , the sheriff refuses to hand Tom over , instead dispersing the crowd . At the end of the book , the two men argue over whether Jem or Boo Radley should be held responsible for the death of Bob Ewell . Heck eventually persuades Atticus to accept the theory that Ewell accidentally fell on his own knife , thus saving the harmless , reclusive Boo from the public exposure of a criminal trial . Mr. Braxton Underwood ( edit ) Mr. Braxton Bragg Underwood is a news reporter and a friend of Atticus . He owns and also publishes The Maycomb Tribune . Being a racist , he disagrees with Atticus on principle . He also has a strong belief in justice , as exemplified when he defends Atticus from the Cunningham mob by having his double barrel shotgun loaded and ready to shoot them . He also demonstrates some humanity when he publishes a scathing editorial comparing the killing of Tom Robinson ( a cripple ) to `` the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and children '' . Mr. Horace Gilmer ( edit ) Mr. Horace Gilmer is a lawyer from Abbottsville , and is the prosecuting attorney in the Tom Robinson case . Mr. Gilmer is between the ages of forty and sixty . Mr. Gilmer has a slight cast with one eye , which he uses to his advantage in trial . Mr. Gilmer appeared to be racist in his harsh cross-examination of Tom Robinson , but it is hinted at that he is in fact going easy on Tom . He and Atticus are not rivals and talk to each other during recesses during the case . Dr. scott Reynolds ( edit ) Dr. Reynolds is the Maycomb doctor . He is well known to Scout and Jem . Scout says that he `` had brought Jem and me into the world , had led us through every childhood disease known to man including the time Jem fell out of the tree house , and he had never lost our friendship . Dr. Reynolds said that if we were boil - prone things would have been different ... '' . He inspects Jem 's broken arm and Scout 's minor bruises after the attack from Bob Ewell under the tree . Dolphus Raymond ( edit ) Dolphus Raymond is a white landowner who is jaded by the hypocrisy of the white society and prefers to live among black folks . In fact , he has children with a black woman . Dolphus pretends he is an alcoholic so that the people of Maycomb will have an excuse for his behavior , but in fact he only drinks Coca Cola out of a paper bag to try to hide it . When Dill and Scout discover that he is not a drunk , they are amazed . He shows Scout how sometimes you can pretend to be someone you 're not so people will be more understanding of you . Link Deas ( edit ) Link Deas owns cotton fields and a store in Maycomb who employs Tom and later Helen because she does not get accepted by any other employers in the county due to Tom Robinson 's legal troubles . He announces to the court ( in defense of Tom ) at one point in the trial that he had n't `` had a speck o ' trouble outta him '' in the eight years Tom had been working for him , and gets sent out by Judge John Taylor for doing so . When Bob Ewell starts threatening Helen after the trial , Mr. Deas fiercely defends her and threatens to have Mr. Ewell arrested if he keeps bothering her . He is on Tom Robinson 's side during the trial and remains loyal to the family afterward . Miss Caroline Fisher ( edit ) Miss Caroline Fisher is Scout 's first grade teacher and is new to Maycomb , Alabama and its ways . She attempts to teach the first grade class using a new system which she learned from taking certain college courses ( Jem mistakenly refers to it as the `` Dewey Decimal System '' , which is really how library books are organized . ) . She is upset by Scout 's advanced reading capabilities and believes that Scout is receiving lessons from Atticus . She feels as though Scout is trying to outsmart and mock her . In an effort to standardize the class , she forbids Scout from reading with her father . Atticus asks Scout to step into Miss Caroline 's skin . However , he continues to allow Scout to read with him at night so long as she continues to go to school . Miss Caroline has good intentions but proves quite incompetent as a teacher . When Scout tells Miss Fisher that she shamed a student ( Walter Cunningham , Jr . ) by giving him lunch money , she raps Scout 's palms with a ruler ( a punishment unheard of in Maycomb ) . She is also very sensitive and gets emotionally hurt quite easily , as seen when she cries after Burris Ewell yells at her , `` Report and be damned to ye ! Ai n't no snot - nosed slut of a schoolteacher ever born c'n make me do nothin ' ! You ai n't makin ' me go nowhere , missus . You just remember that , you ai n't makin ' me go nowhere ! '' After the Burris Ewell incident , Miss Caroline is seldom seen and soon forgotten . Reverend Sykes ( edit ) Reverend Sykes is the reverend of the First Purchase M.E. African Church in Maycomb County . This is the church Tom Robinson attended . Reverend Sykes forces the congregation to donate 10 dollars for Tom Robinson 's family since at the time , Tom 's wife , Helen , was having trouble finding work . During the trial , when the courtroom was too packed for the children to find seats , Reverend Sykes lets the kids sit with him up in the colored balcony and even saves their seats for them . Miss Stephanie Crawford ( edit ) Stephanie Crawford is the neighborhood gossip who claimed that she saw Boo Radley from her bedroom standing outside of her cleaned window one night . Crawford is one of the first on the scene after a loud gunshot is heard behind the Radley house . Because she is the neighborhood gossip , it is unwise to think of anything that she says as true , because most of the time it is not true at all . She is a friend of Alexandra Hancock . She lets Miss Maudie live with her when Miss Maudie 's house burns down , supposedly in order to steal Miss Maudie 's Lane cake recipe . She is thrilled to pass on gossip to the kids about Boo Radley . She claimed to have witnessed Bob Ewell 's threatening Atticus at the Post Office corner as she was returning from the local Jitney Jungle grocery store . In the film she takes the place of Rachel Haverford and is now Dill 's aunt . Miss Rachel Haverford ( edit ) Miss Rachel Haverford is Dill 's aunt and the Finches ' next door neighbor . She drank neat whiskey heavily after seeing a rattlesnake coiled in her closet , on her washing , when she hung her negligee up . Even though she can be very hard to deal with , she truly does love her nephew . Her family name , in the legends of Maycomb County , is synonymous with jackass . She is also a Southern Belle . In the film , she is not a character and Miss Stephanie takes her place as Dill 's aunt . Helen Robinson ( edit ) Helen Robinson is the wife of Tom Robinson . She is spoken about a few times . She has three children . Employed by Link Deas following the death of her husband , she is repeatedly harassed by Bob Ewell when traveling to work . Upon learning of this , Deas threatens Ewell , forcing him to stop . She is an example of how one person 's actions can have an effect on a lot of people and she elucidates the hardships that surround the Tom Robinson case . Nathan Radley ( edit ) Nathan Radley is the brother of Arthur `` Boo '' Radley and another difficult character to understand in To Kill a Mockingbird . When the children try to catch a view of `` Boo '' late one night through a window , he shoots over their heads with a shotgun ( albeit thinking he was aiming at a black person ) . Nathan also cements up the knothole in which Arthur leaves little gifts for the children . On the other hand , he helps Miss Maudie by saving some of her belongings when her house is on fire . He is more present than his brother , but equally mysterious . Jessie ( edit ) Jessie is Mrs. Dubose 's black nurse . She is the woman who shoos the children out when Mrs. Dubose has her fits , and she seems to care enormously for Mrs. Dubose . When Jem is forced to stay reading to Mrs. Dubose , Jessie kindly leads Jem and Scout to the door when Mrs. Dubose 's alarm goes off . The rumors about Mrs. Dubose concealing a gun about her person involves Jessie ; the book says `` and even if Mrs. Dubose missed , her girl Jessie would n't '' . Burris Ewell ( edit ) Burris Ewell is a son of Bob Ewell and a younger sibling of Mayella Ewell as well as the first antagonist of the novel . Burris is described as being chiefly antagonistic of Little Chuck Little and his teacher Miss Caroline Fisher . He comes to the first day of school , but departs just as everyone else in his family does . Burris is also poor . He has live lice in his hair . Burris also scared his teacher Caroline Fisher . He behaves rudely when she tells him to go home , wash his hair , and come back clean the next day . He refuses , and a student explains to Miss Caroline that Ewell children do n't attend school . All they do is show up for the first day , get marked down on the register , and then they miss the entire school year until the first day of the next year . His famous quote was , `` Report and be damned to ye ! Ai n't no snot - nosed slut of a schoolteacher ever born c'n make me do nothin ' ! You ai n't makin ' me go nowhere , missus . You just remember that , you ai n't makin ' me go nowhere ! '' As of Scout 's first year of school ( the first grade ) , Burris has repeated the first grade three times . Burris is also like his father and is very belligerent . Lula ( edit ) Lula is an African - American woman with a dislike for white people . She does n't like the idea of Calpurnia bringing Atticus Finch 's children , Jem and Scout , with her to church and tells her so but is overruled by the other congregants . According to James Zeebo , Calpurnia 's son , Lula 's said to be , `` a troublemaker from way back , with fancy ideas and haughty ways . '' She 's threatened with being `` churched '' ( subjected to church discipline ) by Reverend Sykes . Mrs. Grace Merriweather ( edit ) Mrs. Grace Merriweather is the producer of the play in which Scout plays as a ham . She tells Everett that `` the ladies of the South Maycomb Alabama Methodist Episcopal Church are behind him one hundred percent . '' She is mostly known for her devotion to the church and is widely held as the most devout lady in Maycomb ; however , like many of her peers , she is very hypocritical and loves to gossip with all the other women . Walter Cunningham , Jr. ( edit ) Walter Cunningham , Jr. is a child who is almost as old as Jem but is in Scout 's class . He lives in a farm . He is too poor to even pay off a 25 - cent debt because the Great Depression hit his poor family hard . Walter is not only too poor but also his family is too proud to take any money . He is invited over to the Finches ' house once , after engaging in a fight with Scout , where he covers up all of his dinner with molasses , much to Scout 's vocal dismay . This teaches Scout a lesson in humility and compassion . Walter Cunningham , Sr. ( edit ) Walter Cunningham , Sr. is Walter Cunningham Jr. 's father . He appears only twice , once at the beginning of the story when he has to pay off the debt to Atticus ( Walter Cunningham Sr. was his client ) by giving him firewood , vegetables and other supplies . He also leads the mob that comes to lynch Tom Robinson the night before the trial . Only when Scout talks to him about his son and how much he owes to Atticus does he reconsider and call off the mob . Scout innocently shames him because Scout reminds him of all the things that Atticus has done for him and for Maycomb County . After the verdict is given in the trial , Atticus tells Jem that one of the Cunninghams had changed his thoughts about Tom and pleaded that Tom was not guilty to the jury . Little Chuck Little ( edit ) Little Chuck Little is a student in Scout 's first grade class who has the mindset of an adult . His real name is Charles . He is depicted as chiefly antagonistic of Burris Ewell . He is presented in the novel when Miss Caroline is frightened by Burris ' lice . He warned Miss Caroline that if Burris was n't released from class , he might try something that would put their classmates at risk . When Burris starts advancing on Little Chuck after his warning / veiled insult , Little Chuck 's hand moved to his pocket ( implying that he was going to pull out a knife ) while saying , `` Watch your step , Burris . I 'd soon 's kill you as look at you . Now go home . '' Scared by Little Chuck 's bravery and his implied knife , Burris retreats . From this we see , through the narrative view of Scout , his gentlemanly attitude and how it calms Miss Caroline down . Little Chuck may be even more intelligent than originally meets the eye , as he easily could have been bluffing about the aforementioned implied knife to scare Burris into retreating . Mr. Dick Avery ( edit ) Mr. Dick Avery is an overweight neighbor who tells Jem and Scout that dramatic changes in the weather are caused by disobedient and misbehaving children . After it snows , they build a snowman that resembles him . Mr. Avery can also be seen in the story pushing a mattress out of a window when Miss Maudie 's house catches fire . The kids , including Jem and Scout , always waited for him to do something interesting . For instance , Jem claims that one night he urinated from his front porch in an impressive arc . Miss Gates ( edit ) Miss Gates is a third grade teacher at Scout 's school who insists that America is n't prejudiced like Hitler 's Germany . Despite this , Scout has heard her say that the blacks need to be taught a lesson after Tom 's trial . Eula May ( edit ) Eula May is Maycomb 's most prominent telephone operator . She sends out public announcements , invitations , and activates the fire alarm . She announced the closing of schools when it snowed and announced the rabid dog that entered Maycomb .

Scout almost gets into a fight with Cecil over the trial of Tom Robinson . Scout beats up Cecil Jacobs because he says Atticus is a `` Nigger Lover . '' He gives a current event on Adolf Hitler and later frightens Scout and Jem on their way to the Halloween pageant . He and Scout then pair up at the carnival . At the Halloween pageant afterwards , Cecil was a cow . He hints that black people are not as good as white people while talking about Hitler during current events . He also tends to take jokes too far . However importantly he shows how prejudice is passed on from parent to child . Tim Johnson ( edit ) Tim Johnson is a dog belonging to Harry Johnson ( a character in the book who is mentioned once but is never seen ) . He is infected by rabies in chapter 10 and goes mad , putting everyone in the town at risk . Atticus is forced to shoot Tim Johnson before he reaches the Radley House or attacks anyone .

Question: name of black man in to kill a mockingbird


Santa Fe Trail - wikipedia Santa Fe Trail Jump to : navigation , search For other uses , see Santa Fe Trail ( disambiguation ) . Not to be confused with Santa Fe Rail Trail or Santa Fe River Trail . Santa Fe Trail Map of the Santa Fe Trail Location Missouri , Kansas , Oklahoma , Texas , New Mexico , Colorado Established 1822 Governing body National Park Service Website Santa Fe National Historic Trail The Santa Fe Trail was a 19th - century transportation route through central North America that connected Independence , Missouri with Santa Fe , New Mexico . Pioneered in 1821 by William Becknell , it served as a vital commercial highway until the introduction of the railroad to Santa Fe in 1880 . Santa Fe was near the end of the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro which carried trade from Mexico City . The route skirted the northern edge and crossed the north - western corner of Comancheria , the territory of the Comanches , who demanded compensation for granting passage to the trail , and represented another market for American traders . Comanche raiding farther south in Mexico isolated New Mexico , making it more dependent on the American trade , and provided the Comanches with a steady supply of horses for sale . By the 1840s , trail traffic along the Arkansas Valley was so heavy that bison herds could not reach important seasonal grazing land , contributing to their collapse , which in turn hastened the decline of Comanche power in the region . The Trail was used as the 1846 U.S. invasion route of New Mexico during the Mexican -- American War . After the U.S. acquisition of the Southwest ending the Mexican -- American War , the trail helped open the region to U.S. economic development and settlement , playing a vital role in the expansion of the U.S. into the lands it had acquired . The road route is commemorated today by the National Park Service as the Santa Fe National Historic Trail . A highway route that roughly follows the trail 's path through the entire length of Kansas , the southeast corner of Colorado and northern New Mexico has been designated as the Santa Fe Trail National Scenic Byway .

Connections along the Santa Fe Railroad -- Map shows the principal regular stops on the AT&SF mainline , including such famous cattle drive destinations as Dodge City . It is no accident that most of those Kansas , Colorado , and New Mexican towns were also first serviced by the Santa Fe Trail . The Santa Fe Trail was a transportation route opened by the Spaniards at the end of the 18th century and used afterwards by the Americans in the 19th century , crossing the southwest of North America connecting Independence , Missouri with Santa Fe , New Mexico . The French explorer Pedro Vial pioneered the route in 1792 and the Santa Fe Trail was established in 1828 to take advantage of new trade opportunities with Mexico which had just won independence from Spain in the Mexican War of Independence . The trail was used to haul manufactured goods from the state of Missouri in the United States to Santa Fe , which was in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo Mexico . The wagon trains followed various emigrant trails to points west as people responded to opportunity to hold free land , and the political philosophy of Manifest Destiny dominated national political discussions . Connecting the riverboat port cities and their wagon train outfitters to the destinations , the trail was a fundamentally important trade route , carrying manufactured products from the central plains of United States to the trail head towns St. Joseph and Independence , Missouri . In the 1820s -- 30s , it was also sporadically important in the reverse trade , carrying foods and supplies to the fur trappers and mountain men opening the remote Northwest , esp. in the Interior Northwest : Idaho , Wyoming , Colorado , and Montana -- connecting via mule trail ( trapper 's trails ) to points north to supply the lucrative overland fur trade . North -- south trade ( edit ) Santa Fe was near the northern terminus of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro , which led overland from Mexico City to San Juan Pueblo , New Mexico . This limited trade traffic transited the site that would become Fort Bent in Colorado ( directly on the Santa Fe Trail ) and the short - lived trading fort ( name , owner , management , dates all uncertain ) that sat astride the Trapper 's Trail and Oregon Trail junction point . This post was only eight miles east of the site of Fort John ( now Ft . Laramie ) ( ca . 1833 ) on what became the Oregon Trail ( 1832 -- 34 ) . The lost fort was on the same site where Fort Bernard was later founded ( 1866 ) in the eastern Oregon Country ( Wyoming ) . That Fort Bernard ran cargo mule trains to the Santa Fe is historically certain . The earlier Fort and its traders are less so , and that gives weight that they might have been independents , and not employees of the large fur companies . Regardless of the lack of explicit documents , it is known the light trading with Mexico used the trail and Trapper 's Trail . The importance of Santa Fe ( edit ) The Republic of Texas map showing lands claimed by Texas after 1836 and present - day outline of New Mexico on the boundaries of 1836 -- 1845 . In 1825 , the merchant Manuel Escudero of Chihuahua was commissioned by New Mexico governor Bartolome Baca to negotiate in Washington for opening U.S. borders to traders from Mexico . Beginning in 1826 , prominent aristocratic families of New Mexicans , such as the Chávezes , Armijos , Pereas and Oteros entered into the commerce along the trail , such that by 1843 , traders from New Mexico and Chihuahua had become the majority of traders involved in the traffic of goods over the Santa Fe Trail . In 1835 , Mexico City had sent Albino Pérez to govern the department of New Mexico as Jefe Politico ( political chief or governor ) and as commanding military officer . In 1837 , the forces of Rio Arriba ( the upper Rio Grande , i.e. , northern New Mexico ) rebelled against Pérez ' enforcement of the recent Mexican constitution , new revenue laws taxing Santa Fe commerce and entertainment , and the large grants of New Mexico land to wealthy Mexicans . New Mexicans had grown to appreciate the relative freedoms of a frontier , remote from Mexico City . The rebels defeated and executed governor Albino Perez , but were later ousted by the forces of Rio Abajo ( the lower Rio Grande , or southern New Mexico ) led by Manuel Armijo . Conflict between Texas and Mexico ( edit ) The Republic of Texas claimed Santa Fe as part of the territory north and east of the Rio Grande claimed by both Mexico and Texas following its secession from Mexico in 1836 . In 1841 , a small military and trading expedition departed from Austin , Texas representing the Republic of Texas and their president Mirabeau B. Lamar . Their aim was to persuade the people of Santa Fe and New Mexico to relinquish control over the territory under dispute with Mexico , and over the associated Santa Fe Trail commerce . Having knowledge of the recent political disturbances , they believed that they might be welcomed by the rebellious faction in New Mexico . Known as the Texan Santa Fe Expedition , the Texans encountered many difficulties and were subsequently captured by governor Armijo 's Mexican army under less than honest negotiations . They were then subjected to harsh and austere treatment during a tortuous forced march to Mexico City , for trial and imprisonment . In 1842 , Colonel William A. Christy wrote the president of Texas , Sam Houston , requesting support for a scheme by Charles Warfield to raise forces to overthrow the Mexican provinces of New Mexico and Chihuahua and return half of the spoils to the Republic of Texas . Sam Houston agreed , with the provision that the operation be held under the strictest secrecy . Charles was made a colonel and attempted to raise volunteers in Texas , St. Louis , and the southern Rockies for a Warfield Expedition . He recruited John McDaniel and a small band of men in the proximate vicinity of St. Louis , giving McDaniel the rank of a Texas captain . After Charles headed toward the Rockies with a companion , McDaniel led a robbery in the April , 1843 ( in present - day Rice County , Kansas ) of a sparsely manned Santa Fe Trail trading caravan , resulting in the murder of its leader Antonio José Chávez , the son of a former governor Francisco Xavier Chávez of New Mexico . It was reported that Warfield was unaware of the crime , which later resulted in the execution of McDaniel and one accomplice , and in the imprisonment of those participants whom U.S. authorities were able to hunt down . The news media reported that Americans and Mexicans were outraged by the crime . Local merchants and citizens at the U.S. end of the Santa Fe Trail demanded justice and a return to the stable commerce that their economy had grown to depend upon . After the murder of Chávez , Warfield began limited military hostilities using recruits from the southern Rockies . He made an unprovoked attack on Mexican troops outside of Mora , New Mexico , leaving five dead . Warfield 's horses were lost in Wagon Mound to the Mexican forces which had made chase , and after reaching Bent 's Fort on foot , Warfield 's men disbanded . In February , 1843 Colonel Jacob Snively had received a commission to intercept Mexican caravans along the Santa Fe Trail , similar to the commission received by Warfield the year prior . After disbanding the volunteers under his command , Warfield located and joined the 190 man Texas `` Battalion of Invincibles , '' under the command of Snively . New Mexico governor Manuel Armijo led Mexican troops out of Santa Fe for the protection of the incoming caravans , but after the Invincibles wiped out an advanced party led by Captain Ventura Lovato , the governor retreated . Following this battle , Snively 's force was reduced to little over 100 men due to resignations . The Snively Expedition plan was to plunder Mexican merchant caravans on territory claimed by Texas , in retaliation for recent Texian executions and Mexican invasions , but it was quickly arrested and disarmed by United States escorting troops . Captain Philip St. George Cooke allowed the Invincibles to return to Texas after disarming them . Mother of the railroad ( edit ) This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . ( October 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) In 1863 , with all the political bickering over railroad legislation , entrepreneurs opened their pockets and set their sights on the American Southwest leading to the gradual construction east to west of the Atchison , Topeka and Santa Fe Railway ; the name eponymously reflecting the intentions of the founders , the expected eastern terminus to be in Atchison , Kansas . Inside Kansas , the AT&SF roadbed roughly paralleled the Santa Fe Trail west of Topeka as it expanded between 1868 and 1874 . When a railroad bridge was built across the Missouri River to connect eastern markets to the Dodge City cattle trail and Colorado coal mines , the railroad spurred the growth of Kansas City . Kansas City was on the opposite shore from Saint Joseph , Missouri , one of several trail head towns feeding settlers into the American West . Building the railway so that it extended westwards to destinations in and beyond the New Mexico border was delayed and kept the fledgling railroad gasping for cash . In a move to bootstrap their own base market , the railway began offering packaged `` Shopping Excursion deals '' to potential buyers desiring to look over a real estate parcel . The railroad began to discount such trips to visit its land offices and gave back the ticket price as part of the purchase price , if a sale was concluded . The railroad 's sale of its land granted by congress fostered growth of new towns and businesses along its route , which generated railway traffic and revenues . With this financial base , the railway extended west , gradually adding new connections through rougher west country along the western Trail . With the development of rail transport , traffic on the Trail soon dropped to merely local trade . In a sense , after World War I the trail was reborn ; by the 1920s it gradually became paved automobile roads . Route ( edit ) The Santa Fe Trail Ruts at Fort Union . The Santa Fe Trail highway sign in Cimarron , New Mexico . End of the Santa Fe Trail marker on the Plaza in Santa Fe , New Mexico . The eastern end of the trail was in the central Missouri town of Franklin on the north bank of the Missouri River . The route across Missouri first used by Becknell followed portions of the existing Osage Trace and the Medicine Trails . West of Franklin , the trail crossed the Missouri near Arrow Rock , after which it followed roughly the route of present - day U.S. Route 24 . It passed north of Marshall , through Lexington to Fort Osage , then to Independence . Independence was also one of the historic `` jumping off points '' for the Oregon and California Trails . West of Independence , it roughly followed the route of U.S. Route 56 from near the town of Olathe to the western border of Kansas . It enters Colorado , cutting across the southeast corner of the state before entering New Mexico . The section of the trail between Independence and Olathe was also used by immigrants on the California and Oregon Trails , which branched off to the northwest near Gardner , Kansas . From Olathe , the trail passed through the towns of Baldwin City , Burlingame , and Council Grove , then swung west of McPherson to the town of Lyons . West of Lyons the trail followed nearly the route of present - day Highway 56 to Great Bend . Ruts in the earth made from the trail are still visible in several locations ( Ralph 's Ruts are visible in aerial photos at ( 38 ° 21 ′ 35 '' N 98 ° 25 ′ 20 '' W  /  38.35959264 ° N 98.42225502 ° W  / 38.35959264 ; - 98.42225502 ) . At Great Bend , the trail encountered the Arkansas River . Branches of the trail followed both sides of the river upstream to Dodge City and Garden City . West of Garden City in southwestern Kansas the trail splits into two branches . One of the branches , called the Mountain Route or the Upper Crossing through Raton Pass ( of the Arkansas River ) continued to follow the Arkansas upstream in southeastern Colorado to the town of La Junta . At La Junta , the trail continued south into New Mexico to Fort Union at Watrous . The other main branch , called the Cimarron Cutoff or Cimarron Crossing or Middle Crossing cut southwest across the Cimarron Desert ( also known as the Waterscrape or La Jornada ) to the valley of the Cimarron River near the town of Ulysses and Elkhart then continued toward Boise City , Oklahoma , to Clayton , New Mexico , joining up with northern branch at Fort Union . This route was generally very hazardous because it had very little water . In fact , the Cimarron River was one of the only sources of water along this branch of the trail . From Watrous , the reunited branches continued southward to Santa Fe . Part of this route has been designated a National Scenic Byway . Challenges ( edit ) Travelers faced many hardships along the Santa Fe Trail . The trail was a challenging 900 miles ( 1,400 km ) of arid plains , desert , and mountains . The natural climate was and is continental ; very hot and dry summers , coupled with long and bitterly cold winters . Freshwater was scarce , and the high steppe - like plains are nearly treeless . Water flows in the Pecos , Arkansas , Cimarron , and Canadian rivers that drain the region vary by 90 or more percent in their flows during an average year . Also on this trail , unlike the Oregon trail , there was a serious danger of Native American attacks , for neither the Comanches nor the Apaches of the southern high plains tolerated trespassers . In 1825 , Congress voted for federal protection for the Santa Fe Trail , even though much of it lay in the Mexican territory . Lack of food and water also made the trail very risky . Weather conditions , like huge lightning storms , gave the travelers even more difficulty . If a storm developed , there was often no place to take shelter and the livestock could get spooked . Rattlesnakes often posed a threat , and many people died due to snakebite . The caravan size increased later on to prevent Native American raids . The travelers also packed more oxen instead of mules because the Native Americans did not want to risk raiding the caravans only for some oxen . Historic preservation ( edit ) Segments of this trail in Missouri , Kansas , Oklahoma , and New Mexico are listed on the National Register of Historic Places . In Missouri , this includes the 85th and Manchester `` Three Trails '' Trail Segment , Arrow Rock Ferry Landing , Santa Fe Trail - Grand Pass Trail Segments , and Santa Fe Trail - Saline County Trail Segments . The longest clearly identifiable section of the trail , Santa Fe Trail Remains , near Dodge City , Kansas , is listed as a National Historic Landmark . In Colorado , Santa Fe Trail Mountain Route -- Bent 's New Fort is included on the National Register .

During its original run , it was broadcast on the NBC television network . It later aired in daily syndication from 1978 to 1985 as part of the `` Krofft Superstars '' package . In 1985 , it returned to late Saturday mornings on CBS as a replacement for the canceled Pryor 's Place - also a Krofft production , followed by another brief return to CBS in the Summer of 1987 . It was later shown in reruns on the Sci Fi Channel in the 1990s . Reruns of this series were aired on Saturday mornings on Me - TV and are streamed online at any time on their website . It has since become a cult classic and is now available on DVD . Krofft Productions remade the series in 1991 , also titled Land of the Lost , and a big budget film adaptation was released in 2009 .

The episode storylines focus on the family 's efforts to survive and find a way back to their own world , but the exploration of the exotic inhabitants of the Land of the Lost is also an ongoing part of the story . An article on renewed studio interest in feature film versions of Land of the Lost and H.R. Pufnstuf commented that `` decision - makers in Hollywood , and some big - name stars , have personal recollections of plopping down on the family - room wall - to - wall shag sometime between 1969 and 1974 to tune in to multiple reruns of the Kroffts ' Saturday morning live - action hits , '' and quoting Marty Krofft as saying that the head of Universal Studios , Ronald Meyer , and leaders at Sony Pictures all had been fans of Krofft programs . A number of well - respected writers in the science fiction field contributed scripts to the series ( mostly in the first and second seasons ) , including Larry Niven , Theodore Sturgeon , Ben Bova , and Norman Spinrad , and a number of people involved with Star Trek , such as D.C. Fontana , Walter Koenig , and David Gerrold . Gerrold , Niven , and Fontana also contributed commentaries to the DVD of the first season . The prolific Krofft team was influential in live - action children 's television , producing many shows that were oddly formatted , highly energetic , and made frequent use of special effects , with most of them following a `` stranger in a strange land '' storyline . Most of these shows were comedic in nature , but Land of the Lost was considerably more serious , especially during its first season , though as the series progressed the dramatic tone diminished . Plot and format ( edit ) The Marshalls are brought to the mysterious world by means of a dimensional portal , a device used frequently throughout the series and a major part of its internal mythology . This portal opens when they are swept down a gigantic 1,000 - foot waterfall . We later learn in `` Circle '' , which explains the time paradox , that this portal is actually opened by Rick Marshall himself , while in Enik 's cave , as a way for the current Marshalls to return to Earth , resolving the paradox and allowing Enik to also return to his time . Outfitted only for a short camping trip , the resourceful family from California takes shelter in a natural cave and improvises the provisions and tools that they need to survive . Their most common and dangerous encounters are with dinosaurs , particularly a Tyrannosaurus rex they nickname `` Grumpy '' who frequents the location of their cave . However , many of the dinosaurs are herbivores , posing no threat to the Marshalls , unless unintentionally provoked . One is a particularly tame young Brontosaurus whom Holly nicknames `` Dopey '' , and whom Holly looks upon as a pet . They also encounter the mostly hostile Sleestak ( lizard - men ) , and the primate - like creatures called Pakuni ( one of whom , Cha - Ka , they befriend ) , as well as a variety of dangerous creatures , strange geography and unfamiliar technology . The main goal of the three is to find a way to return home . They are occasionally aided in this by the Altrusian castaway Enik . At the start of the third season it is explained that Rick Marshall ( played by Spencer Milligan ) has been accidentally returned to Earth alone , leaving his children behind . Rick is immediately replaced by his brother Jack . Rick Marshall abruptly disappeared while trying to use one of the pylons to get home ; Jack stumbled upon his niece and nephew after he embarked on a search of his own to find them . Though the term `` time doorway '' is used throughout the series , Land of the Lost is not meant to portray an era in Earth 's history , but rather an enigmatic zone whose place and time are unknown . Indeed , within the first few minutes of the pilot , the Marshall family father tells his children that he spotted three moons in the sky . The original creators of these time portals were thought to be the ancestors of the Sleestak , called Altrusians , though later episodes raised some questions about this . Many aspects of the Land of the Lost , including the time doorways and environmental processes , were controlled by the Pylons , metallic obelisk - shaped booths that were larger on the inside than the outside and housed matrix tables - stone tables studded with a grid of colored crystals . Uncontrolled time doorways result in the arrival of a variety of visitors and castaways in the Land . Production ( edit ) Land of the Lost is notable for its epic - scale concept , which suggested an expansive world with many fantastic forms of life and mysterious technology , all created on a children 's series ' limited production budget . To support the internal mythology , linguist Victoria Fromkin was commissioned to create a special language for the Pakuni , which she based on the sounds of West African speech and attempted to build into the show in a gradual way that would allow viewers to learn the language over the course of many episodes . The series ' intention was to create a realistic fantasy world , albeit relying heavily on children 's acceptance of minor inconsistencies . In a 1999 interview , first - season story editor and writer David Gerrold claimed that he largely created the show , based on photographs of various science fiction topoi that were bound together in a book and given him by Sid Krofft and Allan Foshko . It was a marked departure from the Krofft team 's previous work , which mostly featured extremely stylized puppets and sets such as those in H.R. Pufnstuf and Lidsville . The series for the first two seasons was shot on a modular indoor soundstage at General Service Studios in Hollywood , and made economical use of a small number of sets and scenic props which were rearranged frequently to suggest the ostensibly vast jungles , ancient cities and cave systems . As is traditional in many effect scenes , miniatures or scale - version settings were used for insertion of live - action scenes . Additional locations were often rendered using scale miniatures and chroma key . Spencer Milligan departed the show at the beginning of its third season for financial reasons . In addition to a salary increase , he believed it was only fair that he and the rest of the cast receive compensation for using their image on various merchandise . His character Rick Marshall was replaced by his brother , Jack Marshall , played by actor Ron Harper . Milligan did not return for the brief scene , also shown in the credits of the third season , showing Rick Marshall being transported out of the Land of the Lost . One of the show 's crew played the role instead , wearing a wig resembling Milligan 's hair and standing with his back to the camera . Non-human characters were portrayed by actors in latex rubber suits , or with heavy creature make - up . Dinosaurs in the series were created using a combination of stop motion animation miniatures , rear projection film effects and occasional hand puppets for close - ups of dinosaur heads . Wesley Eure points out on a commentary track for Land of the Lost 's first season DVD that the Grumpy hand puppet has no hole in the back of its throat , even though it is often seen opening its mouth wide to roar . The series marked a rare example of matting filmed stop - motion sequences with videotape live action , so as to avoid the telltale blue ' fringe ' produced in matting with less exacting processes . Though this occasionally worked very well , the difference in lighting between the video and film sequences sometimes brought inadvertent attention to the limitations of the process . Special effects footage was frequently re-used . Additional visual effects were achieved using manual film overlay techniques , the low - tech ancestor to current motion control photography .

Those DVDs have since gone out of print . On May 26 , 2009 , Universal Studios released two complete series releases , one in original packaging , and the other enclosed in a Land of the Lost vintage lunchbox ; the only bonus feature was a look at the film starring Will Ferrell . On October 13 , 2009 , Universal released the three seasons individually ; the DVDs are identical to Universal 's Complete Series Boxes . The series is also available in Digital media format . Remakes ( edit ) Despite a relatively short run , the show continued to be aired extensively through syndication . Based on that success , a remake of the series began in 1991 and ran for two seasons . The DVDs of the series earned a Saturn nomination for best retro TV series release in 2004 . On June 5 , 2009 a feature film based on the 1974 TV series opened in U.S. theaters . Unlike the original series , which was a serious take on the story , the film was a comedy / parody ( more likely inspired by the unsuccessful 1991 series reboot ) . It was directed by Brad Silberling and starred Will Ferrell , with the Krofft brothers serving as co-producers . Although the original series was aimed for children , the film 's target audience was adults . In 2015 it was reported that Sid and Marty Kroft were working on a reboot to Land of the Lost following what they called `` that other movie .
