• Wyatt Earp : [Opening Narration]  The Ballad of Tex McKay, acclaimed in song as the drivingest hogger of the old Santa Fe Railroad, was like most of the fables about cowhand and railroad heroes had not much poetry and very little truth. But since Dodge City was both a cow town and a railroad town, Marshal Wyatt Earp occasionally became entangled with the lone cowhand from the Rio Grande or with a hero on the hoof, like Tex McKay, the bravest of the brave engineers. Marshal Earp likely died from it.
