My mom was born in raised some in Dodge City back in the 1920's. She was born on "Front Street" (or, was it called "Frontier Street"?). I kidded people over the years that she knew "Matt Dillon" of the "Gunsmoke" radio and TV series...but, seriously, she had some good early memories of the famous Kansas town.

I was in jail in Gainesville, Texas with a kid from Dodge City. He broke into a pharmacy in Gainesville and stole a bunch of pain pills smh. He was a bit of an idiot. I wonder if he's still in prison?

I started rewatching the old western series Tombstone Territories, Legend of Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson and to hear the real stories of the day and the men whom legends were made while taming the west and I will say the old series give an idea what it could really have been like in the day. Really enjoy your series.

Bat Masterson was the coolest.and the real deal. Unlike many Wild West figures, most of the stories about him are true.He survived the Wild West and moved to NYC, He got a job as a sports writer on the "New York Telegraph". He died of a heart attack at his desk, writing his sports column. He used to go to pawn shops in NYC to buy old COLT Peacemakers. He would carve notches in the handles and sell them to gullible New Yorkers for extra cash He would pass the old guns off as the gun he used to "tame" Dodge City. Too funny.

This is great. Excellent detail. Excellent storytelling. The only thing this thing lacks is maybe some documentations. Some photographs of some of these old settlements and stuff might be handy. And more interesting.. otherwise it's just talking books. Which is okay. It's just nobody wants to sit there and stare at the screen

You failed to mention that another famous man of the time, Temple Houston, a new attorney and son of Sam Houston, was defense counsel for Batt Masterson following the killing of the “soldier” all occurring at Sweetwater, later in 1879 changed to Mobeetie, Texas, where Houston became the District Attorney.

Dodge City is upstream from Fort Dodge

@carywest9256 3 жыл бұрын

I wondered who else would catch the mistake. Now just by a strange coincidence, the old Republic of Texas boundary line betwixt Indian Territory and Texas ran from Red River due north to the Arkansas River on the 100°00'00" meridian. And when Buffaler City was renamed Dodge City,it just happened to be on the north side. The Compromise of 1850 had Texas relinquish all the land north of 36°30'00 N.and draw the present boundary lines. Plus their debt of 10 million samolains was cancelled. I wound'nt have given up that land!

Billy Dixon said the number of Indians in the attack has been variously estimated at from 700 to 1,000. Billy believed that 700 would be a safe guess. The warriors were mostly Kiowas, Cheyenne and Comanches. Billy was never a man to exaggerate.

I know the creators of this channel put a lot of time and effort into making it look and sound as professional as it does but unfortunately in the case of this video they took it too far, the music is atrocious and more than that it’s distracting, especially when using ear buds to listen, all I can hear is some random electric guitar and every minute or so someone rocks out on the drums real quick, wash, rinse and repeat, im interested in this topic and usually enjoy this type of podcast but I gave up right now at 8 minutes..I hope for everyone that continues ahead that it gets better for y’all’s sake ✌🏻

You said Bat killed his first man in Sweetwater, I guess you don't consider Indians as men. You tell it as Kit Carson was a hero, yet, "Kit Carson charged with genocide of the Navajos." has rang for 135 years. I understand that history is not written by the dead but by the victor.
