0:00.0	It was bitterly cold late in the fall of 1871. Somewhere on the plains of Western Kansas,
0:20.2	two young men met in a remote and bloody buffalo hunting camp. One introduced himself as
0:25.7	bat, the other as Wyatt. They were similar in many ways. Both had escaped the humdrum of family
0:33.2	farms. Both came from families with healthy compliments of brothers. Both were good with,
0:39.1	and not afraid to use, rifles and pistols. And both young men wanted adventure and fortune on
0:45.9	the country's new frontier. But they were also different in some important ways.
0:51.0	Bat Masterson, the younger of the two, was short and stout. Wyatt Earp was five years older and
0:57.8	tall and lean. As history unfolded, the differences between the two men extended well beyond the physical.
1:04.7	They had different temperaments, and views of the law, and approaches to being a lawman. But despite
1:11.5	the differences, Bat and Wyatt became lifelong friends and unconditionally loyal brothers and
1:17.3	arms. Together, they cut a wide swath through the Halcyon days of the Old West and left their
1:23.1	distinctive imprints on its mythology. Hey everyone, I want to give you a fast preview of an awesome
