What you are about to hear is an individual historical account of Bat Masterson's return to Dodge City, Kansas. The motive for Masterson's return is being prompted by both his concerns for his older brother and an economic opportunity being made possible through various insiders who want to promote the cattle trade of 1877. The story is built around the foundational meanings of courage on the frontier - for civilization comes with a cost. It is the harshest cost of all, revealing every flaw to what a man knows about courage in plain sight. Purchase the book A Man in a Black Derby Hat at Amazon.
