The author "chronicles the evolution of Dodge City from a frontier center for the buffalo trade to an important railroad terminus ... The entire panorama of the city's life is presented--the story of Wyatt Earp and other marshals ... the escapades of several famous gamblers and dance hall girls in the Long Branch saloon and the theatre in which Eddie Foy launched his career ..."
