Bat Masterson

Bat Masterson remained Wyatt's friend for most of his life. They initially met as buffalo hunters and later worked together in law enforcement in Dodge City, Kansas. For a short time, Bat also dealt cards for Wyatt when Wyatt had the gambling concession at the Oriental Saloon in Tombstone. He eventually became friends with President Theodore Roosevelt, who arranged for him to be appointed deputy U.S. marshal for the southern district of New York state.
