The Voice of the Dead

This time we present Hopalong Cassidy. Hopalong Cassidy in his old sidekick, California Carlson, traveled the Western Prairie, doing good for those who needed help. Dress completely in black atop his pure white horse topper. Hopalong Cassidy was one of the most popular cowboys of his day.

Now, let's listen to the episode titled, Voice of the Dead, or originally broadcast in the 1950s. The Carlson doesn't often forget letters, particularly since he withdrew his application from the matrimonial bureau. So the legal-looking envelope that came to the bar 20 addressed to him was something to get excited about.

Even before he looked at its exciting contents. It seems more like two years to California until the night finally arrived when he and Hoppy rode up to the gate of the box-hole. Hoppy wasn't quite as enthusiastic.
