Fort Laramie - Epi 5 - Captain's Widow - Feb. 26, 1952

Published: June 20, 2020, 7:54 p.m.

"Fort Laramie" starring Raymond Burr, Vic Perrin, and Jack Moyles. Created by Norman Macdonnell, who also created "Gunsmoke," this 1956 series (with 41 episodes) was historically authentic. Track one features a detailed intro to the series, which will only remain on Episode 1 as I slowly add future episodes to the playlist "Fort Laramie"... this track is the 5th episode entitled "Captain's Widow." Listeners should keep in mind that this program is 64 years old and some references to Native Americans in the dialog would not be considered politically correct today, but it was part of the culture of our American history.
