Summary
Fort Laramie presents “Playing Indian,” episode 1 of the series, originally broadcast on CBS on January 22, 1956. In Fort Laramie’s first regular broadcast, Raymond Burr stars as Captain Lee Quince in a script by John Meston, produced by Norman Macdonnell. Captain Quince leads a cavalry patrol into Wyoming frontier country after settlers are attacked and horses are stolen—crimes blamed on a band of Arapahos. At a burned homestead, the patrol begins to find signs that the situation may be more complicated than it first appears. Fort Laramie presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
