was a shortlived CBS old-time radio series that aired between Frontier Gentleman and Have Gun Will Travel, from February 23 to June 15, 1958. The show starred Sam Buffington as Luke Slaughter, a Civil War cavalryman turned Arizona cattleman, and Junius Matthews as his sidekick, Wichita. Directed by acclaimed radio producer William N. Robson, the show featured well-written and well-acted scripts that presented Luke Slaughter as a tough, no-nonsense cowboy who faced various challenges as he and his partner tried to run their cattle business.</p><p>Despite its high quality, Luke Slaughter of Tombstone was canceled after only 16 episodes due to the growing popularity of television. Buffington's portrayal of the hard-boiled cowboy has often been compared to William Conrad's Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke. </p></article> </div> </div>
