## Resource

Fort Laramie presents “The Chaplain,” episode 31 of the CBS western drama series, originally broadcast August 26, 1956. Written by Kathleen Hite and produced by Norman Macdonnell, it stars Raymond Burr as Captain Lee Quince, with Vic Perrin as Sergeant Goerss and Parley Baer as the chaplain. When illness incapacitates much of the cavalry garrison, Captain Quince and the fort’s chaplain face an urgent problem on the frontier. Their search for supplies takes them beyond Fort Laramie and into the difficult realities of life on the prairie. 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.
