The Wild West podcast proudly presents the story of Hoodoo Brown. The story begins in 1886 when Hoodoo takes his first job as a Bullwacker taking supplies to Fort Wallace Kansas. Hoodoo Brown’s adventures on the plains of Kansas, written and produced by Mike King takes the listener to a time when Kansas was settling lands along the overland routes of the Santa Fe, and Smokey Hill trails. Narrator Brad Smalley will take you to Abilene, were Hoodoo joins a cattle as a drover and then on to Hays City right before Hoodoo meets up with Jack Stillwell a famous Indian scout. At the conclusion, Hoodoo gives up on the hide-hunting business when he sees prosperity in starting a saloon business in Dodge City, the second business in the new town. Brown hauled plank wood from Fort Hays to construct his small building, a shack on the south side of the tracks and near the bank of the Arkansas where it was handy to get water to cut his whiskey with, as well as for the Texas men to water their livestock.Support the show
