About this listen

 Jack Maddox examines the brutal 1872 lynching of Fort Dodge cook William Taylor by drunken vigilantes in lawless Dodge City, Kansas. Through settler Herman Fringer's firsthand account, the episode reveals how frontier "justice" operated before sheriffs arrived—exploring the gap between civilization and chaos, the mythology versus reality of the Wild West, and ordinary witnesses to extraordinary violence.
