About this product
Product Information
The instant New York Times bestseller 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. Before long, Dodge City's streets were lined with saloons and brothels and its populace was thick with gunmen, horse thieves, and desperadoes of every sort. By the 1870s, 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 men, the lawmen 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. When they moved on, Wyatt to Tombstone and Bat to Colorado, a tamed Dodge was left in the hands of Jim Masterson. But before long Wyatt and Bat, each having had a lawman brother killed, returned to that threatened western Kansas town to team up to restore order again in what became known as the Dodge City War before riding off into the sunset. #1 New York Times bestselling author Tom Clavin's Dodge City tells the true story of their friendship, romances, gunfights, and adventures, along with the remarkable cast of 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) that has gone largely untold--lost in the haze of Hollywood films and western fiction, until now.

Reviews
"Offers a sweeping and often riveting account of the personalities and exploits of both men whose paths repeatedly crossed as the post-Civil War frontier moved westward. . . . This is an enjoyable saga that will appeal to both Western aficionados and general readers." -- Booklist "The author paints a lively portrait of the town and its denizens, particularly those well-known enforcers. Along the way, he reveals a few lesser-known aspects of their characters . . . . A must-have for buffs." -- Kirkus Reviews "Tom Clavin's Dodge City is a lesson in historical reporting, exhaustively researched and enthusiastically written with all the page-turning drive of a modern thriller. He's swept aside a century of cheesy myth to excavate the far more fascinating reality that lay beneath. In his hands, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, James Butler Hickok, and that salty perennial Doc Holliday rise from their graves to strut across a raw frontier smelling of fresh-sawn pine, buffalo guts, and human blood." --Loren D. Estleman, author of Cape Hell "Tom Clavin has produced a sharp picture of the brief but vivid culture of the 19th century cattle towns." -- Larry McMurtry, bestselling author of Lonesome Dove and Comanche Moon "I loved Clavin's The Heart of Everything That Is , so I already knew I was in the hands of a gifted storyteller with his new history of the American West. But, wow! Dodge City crackles from the start. Replete with rich characters and a narrative that's faster than Bat Masterson, Clavin has surpassed even himself." --Neal Bascomb, New York Times bestselling author of The Winter Fortress and Hunting Eichmann "In a time when understanding America's real frontier past has never been more crucial, Tom Clavin's Dodge City cuts through popular mythology and offers both clarity and fine entertainment - in other words, it's a book that anyone interested in Western history needs to read." --Jeff Guinn, author of the New York Times bestseller The Last Gunfight, "Two of the most fabled lawmen of the American West's fascinating careers are brought to life in Tom Clavin's Dodge City ." -- New York Post "An interesting history of the West and the late 19th century that focuses on Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson who were fast friends." --Bill O'Reilly "Rip-snorting good reading" -- Ft. Worth Star-Telegram "Offers a sweeping and often riveting account of the personalities and exploits of both men whose paths repeatedly crossed as the post-Civil War frontier moved westward. . . . This is an enjoyable saga that will appeal to both Western aficionados and general readers." -- Booklist "Clavin's book brims with a colorful collection of real outlaws, sex workers, gamblers, and chorus dancers whose personalities, deeds, and even nicknames help readers understand why the Western legend entranced the nation in the first place. To know the history of Dodge City is to understand how the West was won, and this history is often just as captivating and strange as the legends that have supplanted it." -- Publishers Weekly "The author paints a lively portrait of the town and its denizens, particularly those well-known enforcers. Along the way, he reveals a few lesser-known aspects of their characters . . . . A must-have for buffs." -- Kirkus Reviews "Tom Clavin's Dodge City is a lesson in historical reporting, exhaustively researched and enthusiastically written with all the page-turning drive of a modern thriller.
