DODGE CITY Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and the Wickedest Town in the American West

John Bedford Lloyd employs his resonant baritone quite well in narrating this extensively researched biography of Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson and how they brought law and order to the infamous town of Dodge City, Kansas, in the 1870s. Giving extensive background information about not only these two men but also their families and their lives before Dodge, the book presents a feast of history in the Trans-Mississippi area during the Civil War and the subsequent westward migration. Lloyd’s nuanced voice goes well with the engaging text. He enunciates clearly, is confident in expression and tone, and makes this a delightful listening experience for those who love the history of the Old West.
