I think the answer is IL Ponderoso, but can't find any search info on it. Can anyone confirm that ?

Better to give the puzzle and the clue. Could it be IL PENSEROSO, a poem by Milton?
You may be thinking of the Ponderosa, the ranch in Bonanza!

Melancholy character of writer - in one line old wounds recalled (2, 9)

iblack, if you are new to this forum, welcome, but it is asked that you please follow the forum posting tips:.


POSTING TIPS

1. State the name (and number if available) of the puzzle in the thread title. "Stuck", "Help!!!" or "Last One" aren't very useful titles.

2. Give the clue number, the clue and the number of letters and please put this number in parentheses at the end of the clue. If no number of letters is given in the puzzle, then tell us. It also helps to know if the clue is cryptic or general knowledge.

Thanks both for your replies, I think Chrise has got it right.
