A Story of Many Varieties: The Death of Dora Hand Wild West Podcast

Ever thought you've lived through some intense rivalries? Strap in, folks, because your neighborhood squabbles have got nothing on the animosity simmering between James Spike Kenedy and Mayor James Dog Kelly in the unbridled days of the Wild West. We're painting a vivid picture of Dodge City, Kansas, as you've never seen it before - mired in tension, scandal, and the glamour of entertainment from Dora Hand and Fanny Garretson. The stakes are high, the insults fly, and the gunfire? Let's just say things got a bit messy on July 26, 1878.

But the story doesn't end with the dust of a showdown. We're also digging into the legacy of the Kenedys, from the illustrious life of Don Gregorio, to the last generation of this family rooted so profoundly in the Wild West history. Amidst the exchanges of threats, bullets piercing the night, and the echoes of laughter from the Lady Gay Dance Hall and the Comique Theater, a tale of survival and resilience has shaped the fabric of Dodge City. Join us on this journey where the past collides with jealousy, and the tales of confrontation and revenge breathes life into the history of the Wild West.
