Steel and Silk: The Life of Bat Masterson - Episode 5

In 1878, Dodge City shed its skin and became the Queen of the Cow Towns—where cowboys, gamblers, and gunmen filled the streets and the law bent beneath the weight of spectacle and violence.

This episode of Steel and Silk: The Life of Bat Masterson follows Bat through the murder of Dora Hand and the furious manhunt that brought him into the storm-swept plains alongside Wyatt Earp and Charlie Bassett. It traces his clashes with horse thieves and con men, his victories and humiliations, and the growing legend of a sheriff whose nerve steadied a town forever teetering on the edge of chaos.
