Summary
Fort Laramie presents “Shavetail,” episode 7 of the CBS radio drama, originally broadcast March 4, 1956. Raymond Burr stars as Captain Lee Quince in this Norman Macdonnell-produced episode. After an inexperienced young lieutenant returns from a remount detail having disobeyed orders, with horses missing and a trooper dead, Quince accepts responsibility and leads a patrol to recover the animals from Squaw Dog’s band. Written by Les Crutchfield, “Shavetail” tests command, discipline, and restraint on the frontier. 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.
