## Resource

Fort Laramie presents “Captain’s Widow,” episode 6 of the CBS radio drama, originally broadcast February 26, 1956. Raymond Burr stars as Captain Lee Quince in this Norman Macdonnell-produced and directed episode, written by John Dunkel. When Mrs. Wintner arrives with authorization to reclaim her late husband’s remains, Quince must consider an arduous journey to a grave deep in the Lance Creek country—where tensions with the Cheyenne make every decision carry added risk. 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.
