BAT MASTERSON - Old West Gunfighter. Writer. American legend. Nearly 100 years since his death, Bat Masterson still holds great influence. Remembered by many for his adventures in America's Old West - buffalo hunter, scout, gunfighter, and even lawman as Dodge City sheriff. Others remember his fame and respect as a sportswriter in New York City later in life. However, Bat Masterson left a legacy that is much more intricate. Masterson loved an underdog. And his real legacy was how he fought for them. After the days of the Old West were over, he laid down his gun and picked up his pen. So great was his writing that he was vastly respected for his opinions on many topics of the day, including politics, war, and crime. But Bat Masterson had a secret. A dangerous secret to have in those days. One that he kept well-hidden his entire life. For if known, he and all those he cared about would be ruined. His reputation and all that he worked for in his life would be in tatters. In "Bat Masterson: The First Dreamer," Frederic Rosen reveals that secret for the first time ever, and at a pivotal time in America. A time when dangerous government-driven policies can have very negative impacts on our way of life. Making us realize things aren't always as they seem.
