I've always been fascinated by the old west. I visited Dodge City a few years ago but have yet to read this. #TemptingTitles #WithATown @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I enjoyed this as someone who loves westerns, it also proved that the legends arent usually accurate.

A quiet town on the Kansas plains today, in the 1870‘s Dodge City was the Wild West town of our imagination. Wild and Rowdy. This book focus is mainly on the two most famous lawmen, Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson. Tom Clavin has written several books on the west; “Wild Bill Hickok”, “Tombstone”, and this book “Dodge City”. Enjoyed it. Look forward to reading the other two.
1. Sugar & carbs. I have a problem.
2. I don't really buy much. And definitely nothing so impressive that I can actually remember... maybe my Shadow Moon and Mr. Wednesday pop figures? 🤷
3. I just finished Dodge City about 20 minutes ago. Haven't been able to decide what else to read. So I definitely haven't picked what's next.
4. Tag, you're it.

Very fun!!
#TBRtemptation post 7! Dodge City, Kansas. Legendary. Starting as a small military site, it exploded into saloons, brothels, thieves, desperadoes--the most violent, turbulent town in the West. Wyatt & Bat, self-trained lawmen, cleaned it up, then 1 went to Tombstone, 1 to Colorado. They'd return together for Clean Up 2.0, aka. the Dodge City War. Meet Bill Hickok, Billy the Kid, Teddy Roosevelt, Jesse James, & more. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
I think this is a case of "it's not you, it's me." I loved the history behind Dodge City but the gunfights became repetitive and I had an incredibly hard time keeping track of all the brothers and thieves. Overall, I had a hard time getting through this one, but if you have a passion for stories of the Wild West, this may be for you.
I'm supposed to be making my home 'viewing ready' but can't be arsed, so #audiostitching a new project to the tagged book instead. #procrastination
So excited to now own this book! Will start reading it shortly and let you all know how it is. On a side note I am accumulating quite a collection Historical Non-fiction. I have almost a whole shelf dedicated to it (picture coming soon😉) #Bookhaul #OldWest
The West is my guilty pleasure. 🐎
