This is a fascinating account of our most famous and legendary lawman of the frontier west. Staying close to his research, Mark Warren has written a historically accurate trilogy on the life of Wyatt Earp. Mark's writing paints a beautiful picture of the times. The scenery and the dialogue put you right there in Dodge City or in Tombstone, wherever Earp traveled which was extensive. I highly recommend this trilogy. "Born to the Badge" can certainly stand on it's own, but you should also read the first book in the trilogy, "Adobe Moon," as you won't want to miss the beginning of the Earp saga! 5 stars and 2 thumbs up! This is a great read! ( ) no reviews | add a review

"Shunted from his entrepreneurial ambitions to profit from the boomtowns of the frontier, Wyatt Earp returns to law enforcement. In Wichita, Kansas the town leaders become disenchanted with his hardline methods, and so he moves to a place where an iron rule is needed, Dodge City. With him comes Mattie Blaylock, a runaway prostitute, who, like Wyatt, is searching for a chance at a better life. As marshal in Dodge, Wyatt establishes a reputation as a peace officer, but he knows that police work will never deliver what he wants. After joining the Black Hills gold rush and then serving a stint as railroad detective in Texas, he returns to Kansas, only to pin on the badge again and inadvertently forge his path into history"-- No library descriptions found. |
