The Laramie Chronicles

My stories are based on the Laramie TV Show which aired between 1959 and 1963, starring Robert Fuller as Jess Harper and John Smith as Slim Sherman, Two friends running a Ranch and Relay Station in 1870’s Wyoming.

Some stories also feature their housekeeper Mrs Daisy Cooper played by Spring Byington and Mike Williams their Ward played by Dennis Holmes.

Other characters featured were Sheriff Mort Cory, ( Stuart Randall) Stage driver Mose Shell, ( Eddy Waller) Slim Sherman's younger brother Andy Sherman ( Bobby Crawford) and an old family friend named Jonesy.( Hoagy Carmichael).

The stories are sometimes theme led as in Loved Lost Survived where the subject of bereavement is explored, within the parameters of early 1870 western America.Many of the stories deal with issues of the time from lawlessness to the problems involved in eking out a living in the untamed west. The main framework of all the stories is the enduring friendship between the two, very different main characters.

Slim Sherman is the honest, straightforward ranch owner, who is a worrier and likes to do everything by the book and within the letter of the law. However once he befriends Jess Harper drifter, and ex gunslinger with a wild streak, his life changes forever. The unlikely duo team up and eventually become partners in the business, But many trials and tribulations abound and life is never plain sailing.

I hope you will enjoy my take on this popular series. I have been writing these stories for over ten years and have completed over a hundred, many available on various Fanfic sites. However this is the permanent home of my many stories. So welcome to the new and improved home of my Laramie Chronicles.
