Wild West

Custer's Last Stand. We all know that story. But did you know Custer once accidentally shot his own horse? That he faced court martial for shirking his patrol duty? Commentator Rex Buchanan reviews a new book about George Armstrong Custer's time in Kansas. It's called Custer's Trials: A Life on the Frontier of a New America.

The western-themed program "Gunsmoke" started out as a CBS Radio drama and then became a hit TV series. The show, set in Dodge City, aired from 1955 to 1975 but continues to air on TV in reruns.
