Abstract
The myth of the violent cattle town is one with which many Americans are familiar. For the most part, this idea comes to us from the many Western movies we have seen throughout our years. However, one may wonder: How violent were these mythical cattle towns? Were fast-draw shootouts really a daily occurrence, or were they tamer than we have been lead to believe? Evidence indicates that the latter is true. Cattle towns were not nearly as violent as popular culture would have us believe for various reasons, which will be outlined in this paper.
