Summary Dodge City, Kansas, is a place of legend. The town that started as a small military site exploded with the coming of the railroad, cattle drives, eager miners, settlers, and various entrepreneurs passing through to populate the expanding West. By the 1870s, Dodge City was known as the most violent and turbulent town in the West. Enter Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson. The true story of their friendship, romances, gunfights, and adventures, along with the remarkable cast of characters they encountered along the way has been lost in the haze of Hollywood films and western fiction-- until now.
