The War Correspondent (Original Staging‪)‬

Starring Raymond Burr as Captain Lee Quince, Fort Laramie shared many of the same actors, writers, and production staff as Gunsmoke. The program emphasized realism and historical accuracy. Considered one of the greatest radio Westerns, it lasted less than a year, just as Burr was being cast as Perry Mason on TV.
