Ever since I was a kid growing up in Ogden Utah back in the early 80's, I've been fascinated by the Spanish bullfight. I even searched out books on bullfighting at the Weber County library, where I found and read "Death in the Afternoon" by Ernest Hemingway. I'm probably the only kid in Utah to have ever read that book. Now here we are 40 years later and I still enjoy learning about and keeping up with the bullfights.

Who was Wyatt Earp?

Note: I am posting this article because the first bullfight in the US (excluding the bullfights that took place on a regular basis in Los Angeles) took place in Dodge City, Kansas, five years after Wyatt Earp left his job as a city marshal and headed to Tombstone to seek his fortune.

I've always found that rather interesting. What a wild town Dodge must have been!

Plus, I have had this article saved and sitting in a folder in my closet for 20 years now and I'm trying to clean out the closet so it is time I get this article posted.
