{"product_id":"9780870623783","title":"Dodge City : The Early Years, 1872-1886","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe most famous cattle town of the last half of the 1800s (and familiar as the setting for Gunsmoke, one of U.S. television's longest running programs), Dodge City, Kansas has fascinated historians and enthusiasts of the Old West for well over a century. Using a range of primary sources, this book traces how the site of Dodge City evolved from a military post protecting the Santa Fe Trail, to a buffalo hunters' rendezvous, and then to a major rail shipping point for Texas cattle. In lively prose, the author describes how the town and its residents effected and adapted to these transformations of place and purpose, and examines the political and business machinations and archetypal personalities (including Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp) that made Dodge City such a singular western town.
