## Resource

Fort Laramie presents “Army Wife,” episode 40 of the CBS frontier drama, originally broadcast October 28, 1956. This final broadcast of the series stars Raymond Burr as Captain Lee Quince and was written by Kathleen Hite, with Norman Macdonnell producing and directing. After the burial of her husband, Jesse Hale intends to leave Fort Laramie for the East. But her encounter with Jennifer Winton, a very young new army wife, gives Jesse reason to pause—and to share what life at a remote cavalry post demands. Fort Laramie presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
