Best Old Time Radio Podcast with Bob Bro Thursday, December 3, 2020 - OTR Westerns Fort Laramie - "Gold" It has been said that greed for gold is a fat demon with a small mouth -- whatever you feed it is never enough. A wagon train coming through Fort Laramie is bound for he Oregon Trail. Of course there is also the nearby Bozeman Trail which travels further north through the Montana Territory. By treaty, wagon trains are prohibited on the Bozeman Trail since it cuts through the Powder River Basin -- the last and best hunting grounds of the Norther Plains Indians. But gold was recently discovered in Montana territory; gold that can make men rich. And some pioneers wanted their share, Indians be damned. Featuring: Raymond Burr, Vic Perrin, Jack Moyles, Virginia Gregg, Harry Bartell, Clayton Post, Ralph Moody Original Air Date: May 20, 1956 on CBS Want to hear more of the best old time radio programs?
