Around Dodge City and in the territory on west — there’s just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers — and that’s with a U.S. Marshall and the smell of “Gunsmoke”! “Gunsmoke” starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that moved west with young America — and the story of a man who moved with it. I’m that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshall — the first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It’s a chancy job — and it makes a man watchful…and a little lonely.

Gunsmoke was an adult western and was the creation of writer, John Meston, and producer-director, Norman Macdonnell. It absolutely took the country by storm. Variety Magazine, the show business journal, called it “an amazing presentation,” and The New York Times labeled it “Something new and entirely exciting in radio.” On April 26, 1952, Gunsmoke aired for the first time on CBS Radio. Volume 14 includes 16 more original radio broadcasts in an 8 CD set.
