Summary
Fort Laramie presents “The Massacre,” episode 28 of Fort Laramie, originally broadcast on August 5, 1956. This CBS sustaining drama was written by Kathleen Hite and stars Raymond Burr as Capt. Lee Quince, with John Dehner as Maj. Petrie. As White Dog leads a Shoshone band through the Wind River Valley, Quince and a small cavalry escort attempt to see them safely across the frontier. A nighttime warning and the arrival of Petrie’s self-styled “Army of God” place the band’s flags of peace at the center of 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.
