## Resource

Fort Laramie presents “Troopers Widow,” episode 23 of the CBS Radio western, originally broadcast July 1, 1956. Produced and directed by Norman Macdonnell, this sustaining-network drama stars Raymond Burr and features a script by Kathleen Hite. At the 1870s frontier outpost, Lieutenant Stocker tries to convince his new bride that life in cavalry country may require learning to use a gun. When concerns involving Mrs. Meade bring the dangers of the frontier close to home, the young couple must confront the hard realities of post life. 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.
