Dodge City : Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and the wickedest town in the American West / Tom Clavin.

Clavin, Tom, 1954- (author.).

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. Before long, Dodge City's streets were lined with saloons and brothels and its populace was thick with gunmen, horse thieves, and desperadoes. 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 gone largely untold--lost in the haze of Hollywood films and western fiction--until now.
