Dodge City: Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and the Wickedest Town in the American West | Tom Clavin

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

Eggs It is fascinating, the little bit I know about! 13mo

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!!

mangokittty That's in the state I live in. I don't think I've ever been there though. 7y

KathyWheeler We used to live in Manhattan. When we first moved there, we saw billboards advertising Dodge City, so we figured it couldn't be that far away. We decided to take a day trip and go there. We never got there -- it was just too far on the back roads for a day trip. 7y

#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 😎

tpixie That's were my youngest daughter lives- with husband and grandson Theo! She's a high school math teacher. There's Boot Hill Museum & Dodge City Rodeo Days to celebrate The Wild West. (It's progressed some- they now have electricity & plumbing)! My son/in-law would like this book!! 🐮 🐴 🤠 7y

so-so

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.

Reviewsbylola Sounds interesting but I think I would have the same problems you did. 7y

NikkiRobson73 I had the same problem struggled through it and it jumped around too much with different locations and time periods I‘m usually pretty good with that stuff 4y

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

LeahBergen This is pretty! What is it you're working on? 7y

drokka @LeahBergen It's a pattern called 'The Dragons of Sumatra' based on motifs from antique Indonesian textiles. Normally they're done in reds, but the person this is for prefers purples. 7y

LeahBergen That sounds amazing. 7y

CrowCAH Looks great so far!!! 7y

Wife Oh please keep posting! I love ❤️ to see the progress. Where did you find your pattern? 7y

drokka @CrowCAH Thanks. It's going to be a while before its done. Though not as big as the blanket I'm also working on. 7y

drokka @Wife This is a new Ink Circles pattern and available at most shops who specialise in stitching like Nordic Needles, Stoney Creek, and my local shop Thread 'N Eye 7y

CrowCAH @drokka oh wow, so cool!!! 7y

minkyb At least it is productive procrastination! 7y

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

Cortg Looks good! I find the Wild West so intriguing. 7y

TheWhiteHatter @Cortg so do I. I love that time in America's history and the descriptions of the landscape and trials amd triumphs of the times. 7y

Cortg @TheWhiteHatter And the bad ass gun slingers, horses, saloons and ladies. Bank robberies, gold digging, trains, illnesses and the vastness of the land 😊 7y

LeahBergen I'm crazy about Old West history. 👍🏼 7y

drokka Once I'm done with my current audiobook, this one is next. I've been looking forward to read it for months, but it was popular in our city's library system. 7y
