Law-breaking was not uncommon among the pioneers who blazed the trail into the wild west. In fact, there was no law except the "six-gun" and it wasn't unusual for an argument to be settled in that fashion. Horse stealing was one of the pursuits followed by those who had no respect for the law. From the escapades and fates of these marauders this canyon near Dodge City took its name.

Dodge City Kansas (KS), Real Photo unused
Description:
Dodge City, The Cowboy Capital. On the Ashes of my Camp Fires was this City Built. For ten years this was the largest cattle market in the world and for fifteen it was the wildest town on the American Frontier. Established with the coming of the Santa Fe in 1872, Dodge City became the shipping center of the southwest. The hunters who exterminated the buffalo here marketed several million dollars worth of hides and meat. Hundreds of wagon trains carried supplies to western towns and army posts. By 1875 most cattle trails let to Dodge; in 1884 Texas drovers alone brought 106 herds numbering 300,000 head. As a rendezvous for hunters, trappers, cowboys, soldiers, railroad builders, bullwhackers, Indians, saloon keepers, dance hall girls, thugs and gamblers. The town became notorious for vice and violence. Numerous victims were buried on Boot Hill. Eventually law was enforced by such "Two Gun Marshalls" as Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp and Bill Tilghman. Near Dodge City are the sites of old Fort Mann and Fort Atkinson. The Santa Fe Trail which they were established to protect may still be traced on the nearby prairie
