Earp's profile is the best of the five, and Masterson's respect and affection for his subject shines through. It was the first place where he saw the game of faro dealt, and he was fascinated. Gambling-house proprietors wanted him to stay around their places of business during the busy hours, so as to keep the bad men in camp from carrying off their bank rolls.

Luke could say a few things in Indian language that his partner could understand, and to which he could make comprehensible reply. The problem is that it's not terribly accurate. H G Bissinger. Holliday comes off especially bad, being ascribed several murders for which there is no evidence. Some half-truths and full blown myths make appearances here, so I would recommend that people interested in the history of the Wild West read this along with some additional sources for a more accurate picture of the world and people that Masterson describes.

Masterson writes with precision and wit, although details are missing and there is a strange sluggishness in some portions of the book. There was scarcely any difference between this case and the one with the bad man in Leadville a couple of years previous. There was nothing in his wan drawn features, as he lay on the last bed of sickness at Fort Worth, Texas, to indicate that luck had ever been his friend. Books by W. Add to Basket. Seller Inventory mon There are numerous books out there with more detail and better written than this one, but it was interesting to hear the perspective of someone who had a front row seat to some of the most famous incidents of Western History. This is a series of articles written by Masterson after he became a journalist in NY at the end of his life. This book is a collection of stories he wrote about some of the people he knew and interacted with during his younger years.

  • Masculinity, Aging, Illness, and Death in Tombstone and Logan
    ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC PAPER 791-51 DOI:10.5937/ ZRFFP48-18623 DANIJELA L J. P ETKOVIĆ1 UNIVERSITY OF N IŠ FACULTY OF P HILOSOPHY ENGLISH D EPARTMENT (IM)POSSIBLE MARTYRDOM: MASCULINITY, AGING, ILLNESS, AND DEATH IN TOMBSTONE AND LOGAN ABSTRACT. The title of this paper alludes to Hannah Arendt’s famous claim that in Nazi concentration camps martyrdom was made impossible, for the first time in Western history, by the utter anonymity and meaninglessness of inmates’ deaths (Arendt, 2000, p. 133): the paper, in contrast, examines two contem- porary films which, while intersecting normative/heroic masculinity with debilitating illness and death, allow for the possibility of martyrdom. Tomb- stone and Logan , directed by George P. Cosmatos and James Mangold respectively, depict the last days of such pop culture icons of masculinity as John Henry “Doc” Holliday and James Howlett, aka Logan/Wolverine. The films’ thematic focus on the (protracted) ending of life, which is evident not only in the storylines and dialogues but also in the numerous close-ups of emaciated, bleeding, scarred and prostrate male bodies, afflicted with tuberculosis and cancer-like adamantium poisoning, invites, first, a discus- sion of the relationship between the cinematic representations of normative and disabled masculinities. Specifically, since normative masculinity, as opposed to femininity, is synonymous with physical and mental strength, power and domination – including the control of one’s own body – the focus of this discussion is if, and how, the films depict Doc Holliday and Wolverine as feminized by their failing/disobedient bodies, thus contribut- ing to the cultural construction of gender. Secondly, the paper discusses the halo of martyrdom with which the films’ dying men are rewarded as emo- tionally deeply satisfying to the viewer: in Logan and Tombstone , death is not averted but hastened for the sake of friendship, family, and the protec- tion of the vulnerable and the marginalized.

  • THE WALTER STANLEY CAMPBELL COLLECTION Inventory and Index
    THE WALTER STANLEY CAMPBELL COLLECTION Inventory and Index Revised and edited by Kristina L. Southwell Associates of the Western History Collections Norman, Oklahoma 2001 Boxes 104 through 121 of this collection are available online at the University of Oklahoma Libraries website. THE COVER Michelle Corona-Allen of the University of Oklahoma Communication Services designed the cover of this book. The three photographs feature images closely associated with Walter Stanley Campbell and his research on Native American history and culture. From left to right, the first photograph shows a ledger drawing by Sioux chief White Bull that depicts him capturing two horses from a camp in 1876. The second image is of Walter Stanley Campbell talking with White Bull in the early 1930s. Campbell’s oral interviews of prominent Indians during 1928-1932 formed the basis of some of his most respected books on Indian history. The third photograph is of another White Bull ledger drawing in which he is shown taking horses from General Terry’s advancing column at the Little Big Horn River, Montana, 1876. Of this act, White Bull stated, “This made my name known, taken from those coming below, soldiers and Crows were camped there.” Available from University of Oklahoma Western History Collections 630 Parrington Oval, Room 452 Norman, Oklahoma 73019 No state-appropriated funds were used to publish this guide.

    Self Guided HISTORIC Trolley Tour Dodge City Convention & Visitors Bureau Historic Trolley Tour Photo Rights Reserved by Kansas Heritage Center, Boot Hill Museum, and Josh Roesener Photography. Start Audio Well howdy folks, and welcome to Dodge City, Kansas–cowboy capital of the world! During this tour, you’ll learn about the evolution of Dodge from a dusty trail town to a bustling cattle and agricultural capital. You’ll hear about the people and places that helped create and tame what some have called “the wickedest little city in the west.” However, before there was a town, there was a trail–the Santa Fe Trail. 50 years before Dodge City was founded in 1872, traders and wagons rumbled along where the town is now. Thousands of wagons traveled from Missouri to Santa Fe, an outpost in what was then Mexico, where traders exchanged merchandise for silver and gold. Slow to point 1 Fort Dodge was established in 1865 to protect wagon trains on the trail from Wagon train on Santa Fe Trail attacks by Plains Indian tribes and to furnish supplies to the soldiers who were fighting the Indian wars on the plains. The abundance of buffalo here lured the hunters, who swarmed over the area killing buffalo to sell for a reasonable price. A successful day’s hunt might reward the hunter with a $100. That would be over $3,000 by today’s standards. As the word spread about the excellent hunting and about the railroad that would soon reach western Kansas, entrepreneurs everywhere were eager to start a business near the new railroad tracks and Fort Dodge, to supply hunters with necessities for their trade.
