In the 1880's America and England were both growing industrial countries, but in America we were also expanding to a wild new frontier, the American West. Cowboys, outlaws,  gunslingers, saloons, brothels, sheriff's and crooked lawmen were the stuff of legends. Figures like Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp,  Doc Holiday, Jesse James, Butch Cassidy , Bat Masterson, these names are part of folklore and legend, but they were also really people.

Bob Boze Bell joins us to discuss the true story of some of these amazing characters. Separating the fact from fiction and giving us the most accurate portrait of some of the most misrepresented characters, for better or worse, in American History
