The Dodge City Peace Commission, 1883 (1954). Standing: WH Harris, Luke Short, Bat Masterson; sitting: Charles E Bassett, Wyatt Earp, Frank McClain and Neal Brown. The Dodge City Peace Commission was a group of gunfighters assembled by Earp and Masterson to support Short, who purchased a half share in a saloon in the notoriously lawless town of Dodge City, Kansas, in 1883. An iconic figure in the story of the American West, Wyatt Earp is best remembered for his career as a lawman and his involvement in the notorious Gunfight at the OK Corral in 1881.
