The Wild West podcast produced by Mike King is proud to present the story of Ormand W. Write narrated by Brent Harris of Boot Hill Museum. Reverend Wright was born in Acworth, New Hampshire in 1850, arrived in Dodge City in early 1877 at the age of 26. Though he had graduated from Hamilton College in Clinton, New York in 1873, he was not ordained when he got to Dodge. Rev. Wright stayed in Dodge City as Presbyterian pastor until 1882, when he finally “burned out” and was placed in a private institution for health reasons. Within a couple of years, he recovered and continued his ministry in Barnegat, New Jersey for thirty years. He died around 1936 at the age of 86. A summary of Ormond Wright’s life is narrated by Brad Smalley at the end of this podcast.
