FORT LARAMIE

Prepare to mount!

          It is worthwhile to list all the episodes and writers together, 
to illustrate Kathleen Hite's importance 
as a writer for this series. 
          Hite contributed ten of the first twenty episodes, 
and wrote the last nineteen.  
          Of the thirty-nine original scripts used for the show, 
twenty-eight were written by Hite. 
          Of Fort Laramie's forty episodes, 
twenty-nine were written by Hite.
