Show Notes

Halloween in Dodge City is posted once a year during the month of October. The podcast tells the story of some of the characters who lived in Dodge City, Kansas, during the early frontier days. The story takes place on October 31, when a fictitious character named Luke McGlue visits a resting site known as Boot Hill. While waiting to administer the Kelly Cure, Luke visits and tells the stories of individual characters buried at Boot Hill. These long-lost souls include Lizzy Palmer, a local prostitute, McGill, who is tracked down and killed by James Hanrahn, and the shooting of Essington, a carpenter who built the first hotel in Dodge City. But the most infamous story told here is about Billy Brooks, the first unofficial marshal of Dodge City.  To learn more about the Luke McGlue stories you can visit The Machiavellian of Dodge City.
