FRONTIER FIGHTERS
This is not your typical western drama -- it is a series that will transport you back in time to the days of the wild, unsettled west. Retrace the steps of heroes who, despite the odds, fought and conquered the West.
Frontier Fighters was a syndicated series that ran sometime during the 1930s. Each show dealt with some bit of history about the early West and ran for approximately 15 minutes. From Robert La Salle's navigation of the Mississippi River, to Lewis and Clark's challenge of reaching the West Coast of North America, Frontier Fighters will take you on an exciting voyage of the taming of the Wild West. This is American History at its best!

OTRR Definitions:
OTRR Maintained Set -- This set contains all known episodes in the best available audio condition with the most accurate dates and titles known to be in general circulation and based on current research at the time of release. Replaces OTRR Certified Accurate and OTRR Certified Complete.
OTRR Non-Maintained Set -- A collection of shows that has not gone through the OTRR Maintenance process.
Pre-2019 OTRR Definitions:
OTRR Certified Accurate -- A series that was "Certified Accurate" indicated that all the episodes were properly identified and labeled based on current information but that the series did not contain all known extant episodes.
OTRR Certified Complete -- A series that was "Certified Complete" achieved the highest level of certification available under the OTRR Certified Standards. This certification level implied that all the files in the series were "Certified Accurate" and also indicated that the series was as complete as possible and included all circulating episodes.
OTRR Non-Certified -- A collection of shows that has not gone through the OTRR Certification process.
Also, beginning in 2019, the version numbers of our OTRR releases changed format -- instead of v1.0 or v2.1, we are now using a version number that reflects the year and month the set was released. The format used is a two-digit year followed by a two-digit month. For example, "v1906" indicates a set that was released in June 2019, or "v1910" indicates a set released in October 2019.
NOTE: There are no passwords for any of our ZIP files. If you are prompted for a password, before downloading the file again, try unzipping the file into a shorter full folder path name -- for example, unzip to "C:\" instead of "C:\Documents and Settings\your_Windows_ID\some_other_folder\". Sorry, some of our releases contain long folder and file names, which sometimes manifests itself on the Windows platform as prompting for a password for the ZIP file. Or try renaming the ZIP file itself to a shorter name before unzipping.

Absolutely.... The ever so wonderful days of yore. Yeah, right.
Diseases - from contaminated foods ill stored - from putrified drinking water - Outhouses - shared bathwater...
Medicines that were woefully inadequate
Railroad tycoons that claimed a mile-wide right-of-way everywhere tracks were laid
Child labour that was only a very small portion of unimaginable and imaginable abuses of anyone weaker
Yeah, the good old days... Maybe the good old Fables. These are NICELY (if you get my drift - what drift? Current) done stories featuring the poetically licensed and santitized psuedo historical vingnetes of a time when there are no remaining witnesses to refute the fantasy.
Man, talk about waxing poetic!

I was very keen to listen to these shows as I am very interested in frontier history. But the five or six I have listened to so far, while well acted and good quality recordings, are nothing to do with history. For instance, the Donner Party episode manages to avoid all mention of cannibalism! The basic premise is that Native Americans were all evil or idle and the pioneers had every right to rob them of their homelands; that the ruthless exploitation of resources and unrestricted restructuring of the landscape is not only right, but utterly praiseworthy; and that anyone involved in settling the west was a hero. I didn't expect a modern attitude, but even when these shows were made, there were doubts being raised about how the Native Americans had been treated, and about the future consequences of damming and deforestation. But these shows just parade prejudices and misconceptions behind a facade of nobility and grandeur. Very sad, though perhaps an interesting historical document in themselves.
