Gunfighter/Lawman/Gambler Bat Masterson: Forever Changed the West

On this episode of Our American Stories, to Bat Masterson, gunslingers were hoodlums who killed for fun. He used guns to enforce the law or defend a friend. In the end, he’d achieved a feat almost none of the Old West legends had attained: he lived to see old age. Here to tell the story of Bat Masterson is the best Old West storyteller in the country, Dr. Roger McGrath.  Support the show (https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
