Summary
Fort Laramie presents “The Coward,” episode 10 of the CBS Radio western drama, originally broadcast March 25, 1956. Written by John Dunkel and produced and directed by Norman Macdonnell, it stars Raymond Burr as Captain Lee Quince and John Dehner as Lieutenant Robbie Wendt. A former commanding officer of Quince’s arrives at the frontier cavalry post carrying the painful reputation of cowardice from the war. Now a troubled, heavy-drinking transfer serving under Quince, Wendt is given a chance to prove he can still serve as an officer. 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.
