Download Legends of the West: The Life and Legacy of Bat Masterson AudioBook Free
Though he is no more as well appreciated as he was previously, one of the very most famous and notorious lawmen of the Crazy Western world was Bat Masterson, who drifted around Dodge City and other areas of the Western world and was associated with legends like Wyatt Earp. Hauling a six-shooter that he called "the gun that tamed the Western world", Masterson was involved with several duels and shootouts, much of which was embellished during the early 20th century when he became a newspapers columnist and was given an opportunity to frame anecdotes about the frontier times and talk about colorful personas like Doc Holliday. Like Wyatt Earp, who once served as a lawman under him, Masterson was mostly known as being on the right part of regulations, but he wasn't scared to solidly straddle both factors than it. While tall tales about shootouts were commonplace and presumed wholesale throughout the Western world in the 19th century, few men got as strong a reputation as Bat Masterson, who was known for public shootouts, one which took place in Dodge City in 1878 that ended with the fatality of his brother and town marshal, Ed Masterson. Bat also had taken part in the famous Earp Vendetta Trip near Tombstone, which happened in the wake of the Shootout at the O.K. Corral. Legends of the Western world: THE LIFE SPAN and Legacy of Bat Masterson chronicles the European icon's life and examines the common myths and legends in an attempt to separate simple fact from fiction.
