## Resource

Fort Laramie presents “Winter Soldier,” episode 21 of the CBS frontier drama, originally broadcast June 17, 1956. Raymond Burr stars as Captain Lee Quince, with Vic Perrin, Jack Moyles, and Harry Bartell; the episode was written by John Dunkel and produced by Norman Macdonnell. As spring reaches the fort, Quince and Major Daggett face the familiar challenge of “winter soldiers”—men who enlisted for shelter and provisions during the cold months, only to be tempted by the western gold fields when travel opens again. Quince leads the Clearwater Patrol into Cheyenne country as tensions mount along a wagon-train route. 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.
