Bored
with farm life, and anxious for some excitement, Henry Fleming sets off
to join the Union troops fighting the Civil War. An inexperienced
fighter, he is anxious to get into battle to prove his patriotism and
courage. He swaggers to keep his spirits up waiting for battle, but
when suddenly thrust into the slaughter he is overcome with blind fear
and runs from the battle field. He is ashamed when he runs into some
wounded men from the front, for he has not earned their "red badge of
courage" and becomes devastated when he witnesses the death of his
terribly maimed friend. In a confused struggle with his own army and
retreating soldiers, he is wounded but not by enemy gunfire. In an
effort to redeem himself in his own eyes, he begins to fight
frantically and, in the heat of battle, automatically seizes the
regiments colors in a daring charge that proves him truly courageous.

Had it not been for Custer's defeat at the Little Big Horn,
the story of The Bozeman Trail and the Fetterman Massacre would be
known to every American today as one of our worst military
disasters. While it was a defeat for the U.S. Calvary, it was a
victory for all the Native Americans, for after the battle, Red Cloud
signed a peace agreement with the U.S. and "For the first time in its
history the United States Government had negotiated a peace which
conceded everything demanded by the enemy and which extracted nothing
in return."
Here is the story of that battle, dramatized for audio by the
award winning Colonial Radio Theatre. Complete with a full cast,
music score, and thousands of sound effects, this production will put
you in the middle of the action.
