That's the Calum! Laramy, starring Raymond Burr as Captain Lee Quince, specially transcribed tales of the dark and tragic ground of the wild frontier,
the saga of fighting men who rode the Rim of Empire, and the dramatic story of Lee Quince, Captain of Cavalry. Approals! Sergeant Gorse, yes sir. Dismiss the patrol, I've got to report the major daggot.
Yes sir. And see that their horses are babyed right this time. Yes sir. Pro... There's the mount. Yes, mount. Captain Quince reporting, sir. Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I thought you'd be alone. That's all right, Captain.
Oh, this is Major Barlow. Major? My pleasure, Captain. Well, how did you patrol fair? Routine, sir. No sign of trouble. Good. Oh, sit down, Quince. Thank you, sir. Major Barlow is here on orders from General Staff in Washington.
He's surveying all the posts in our department. I have only a few days here, then I'm going on Fort Dodge. General Custis Command? Yes. I'm looking forward to that. Read hundreds of reports, and certainly that seventh gallery is doing the best job of the hostiles that can be done.
You haven't surveyed them yet? Well, not personally, no. The record reads victory after victory. I wish we could say the same about the second. Well, the circumstances are a little different, Major. They're waging open warfare from Fort Dodge. Here we try to keep hostilities in a minimum, maintain peace. Captain, how much fire fight have we seen in the last month?
Well, three or four skirmishes is all, sir. Mostly with dog soldiers driven from the Fort Dodge section. Dog soldiers? Oh, there are two kinds of Cheyenne. That's the tribe we've been most interested in around here lately. Dog soldiers are the warriors. They wear three feathers.
