Dodge City, Kansas, is a place of legend.
By the 1870s, Dodge City was known as the most violent and turbulent town in the United States--until Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson, two young and largely self-trained lawmen, led the effort that established frontier justice.
This larger-than-life account of Wyatt and Bat\'s adventures throughout the West--and the characters they encountered along the way (including Wild Bill Hickock, Jesse James, Doc Holliday, Buffalo Bill Cody, John Wesley Hardin, Billy the Kid, and Theodore Roosevelt)--offers an "absorbing...fun and revealing" (Wall Street Journal) look at a wildly entertaining chapter in American history that no reader will soon forget..
The town that started as a small military site exploded with the coming of the railroad--its streets were lined with saloons and brothels, its populace thick with gunmen, horse thieves, and desperadoes of every sort.
