Born to the Badge has been honored as a 2019 Spur Award Finalist!Shunted from his entrepreneurial ambitions to profit from the boomtowns of the frontier, Wyatt Earp returns to law enforcement. In Wichita, Kansas the town leaders become disenchanted with his hardline methods, and so he moves to a place where an iron-rule is needed--Dodge City. With him comes Mattie Blaylock, a runaway prostitute, who, like Wyatt, is searching for a chance at a better life. As marshal in Dodge, Wyatt establishes a reputation as a peace officer, but he knows that police work will never deliver what he wants. After joining the Black Hills gold rush and then serving a stint as railroad detective in Texas, he returns to Kansas, only to pin on the badge again and inadvertently forge his path into history.
Mark Warren' s Wyatt Earp trilogy weaves a tale between a lesson in history and a masterpiece novel. --Eddie Lanham, Western researcher and historian The dialogue is virtually true to life and gives the feeling the author must have been present when the words were originally spoken. --Roy B. Young, author and Western historian They still talk about Wyatt Earp in Wichita and Dodge City. After reading this book, you' ll understand why. --Jeff Morey, Historical Consultant for the movie Tombstone
