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.
