## Resource

Fort Laramie presents “Lost Child,” episode 11 of the CBS radio drama, originally broadcast April 1, 1956. Raymond Burr stars as Captain Lee Quince in this Norman Macdonnell-produced episode, written by Gil Doud. When young Billy vanishes near Fort Laramie, his stepfather’s suspicion falls on a Cheyenne man. Quince and a visiting major head to a nearby reservation to investigate, but rising tensions and the major’s hard-line approach threaten to turn a desperate search into a dangerous confrontation. 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.
