Shunted from his entrepreneurial ambitions to profit from the boomtowns of the frontier, twenty-six year old 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 assistant marshal in Dodge, Wyatt establishes a reputation as an uncompromising peace officer, but he knows that police work will never deliver what he really wants: wealth and the respect of the upper class. 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Mark Warren's Wyatt Earp trilogy weaves a tale between a lesson in history and a masterpiece novel.--Eddie Lanham, Western researcher and historian<br><br>The dialogue is virtually true to life and gives the feeling the author must have been present when the words were originally spoken.--Roy B.
