By the 1870's, Dodge City was known as the most violent and turbulent town in the west. Enter Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson. Young and largely self-trained, they led the effort that established frontier justice and the rule of law in the American West, and did it in the wickedest place in the United States. This is their story. (taken from the book.) 20170712. Earp, Wyatt 1848-1929. Masterson, Bat 1853-1921. Frontier and pioneer life Kansas Dodge City. Outlaws Kansas Dodge City History 19th century.
