| | Dodge City Varieties -- A Summer Interlude of Entertainment, 1878, by James C. Malin, Summer, 1956 |
 | | DODGE City, as with so many aspects of Western history, has been the victim of stereotypes, especially such as have been associated with sensationalism -- cowboys, saloon keepers, dance hall girls, cattlemen, nesters, homesteaders, law officers, and gunmen, including, of course, Texas. |
 | | Dodge City was not ready to close out this line of business, but the summer of 1878 marked an attempt in the long campaign on the part of the resident citizens to keep the lawless elements under control. |
 | | Dodge City has furnished an exodus, but the heart of the king was not hardened; he remembered the cloud stood between the children of Israel and the pursuing Egyptians, -- the one saved the other drowned. |
