Luke Slaughter of Tombstone - Old Time Radio

About Luke Slaughter of Tombstone - Old Time Radio

Luke Slaughter of Tombstone debuted on February 23, 1958 and, sadly, only ran for a total of 16 episodes. Sam Buffington played Luke Slaughter, a Civil War cavalry officer, turned cattle rancher, in post-Civil War Arizona Territory near Fort Huachuca and the town of Tombstone, not far from the U.S. southern border. This was a well-received program but was cut short due to the pressure of television at the time. At the beginning of each show we hear "Slaughter's my name, Luke Slaughter. Cattle's my business. It's a tough business, it's a big business. I got a big stake in it. And there's no man west of the Rio Grande big enough to take it away from me."  Find more classic radio series at theaterofthemind-otr.com (https://theaterofthemind-otr.com) - Spreaker (https://www.spreaker.com/user/jared-day--17799016) | Apple (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-whistler-old-time-radio/id1770166898) | YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@theater-of-the-mind-OTR/podcasts)
