Bat Masterson
William Barclay "Bat" Masterson (November 26, 1853 – October 25, 1921) Spent the first half of his life in what is remembered as the "Wild West." During that period, he distinguished himself as a buffalo hunter, Indian fighter during the celebrated "Battle of Adobe Walls," civilian scout for the U.S. Army, gunfighter and lawmen in Dodge City, Kansas and elsewhere. That "Wild West" phase of Masterson's life was essentially over by the mid 1880's when he was still in his early thirties. Masterson moved to Denver and established himself as a leading "sporting man," or gambler. He took an interest in prizefighting and became a leading authority on the sport. He would attend almost every important match, and title fight in the United States from the 1880's until his death in 1921. He knew, and was known by, all of the Heavyweight Champions from John L. Sullivan and James J. "Gentleman Jim" Corbett to Jack Johnson and Jack Dempsey. He moved to New York City in 1902 and would spend the rest of his life there as a reporter and columnist for the ''New York Morning Telegraph''. Bat's column not only covered Boxing, and other sports, but also gave his frequent opinions on crime, war, politics and other subjects. He became a close friend of President Theodore Roosevelt and became of of the "White House Gunfighters" (along with Pat Garrett and Ben Daniels) who received federal appointments from Roosevelt. He was known throughout the country as a leading sports writer and celebrity at the time of his death in 1921.
== Born in Canada ==
Bat Masterson was born on November 26, 1853,〔Other dates are cited in some Colin sources, but his baptism is recorded in the Quebec Archives in a record dated 27 November 1853, making it clear that he was born the previous day. (See DeArment, Robert K., ''Bat Masterson, The Man and the Legend'', University of Oklahoma Press, 1979, pp.9–10.)〕 at Henryville, Canada East, in the Eastern Townships of what is Quebec today, and baptized as Bartholomew Masterson.〔 in the 1870 US Census in St. Clair County, Illinois〕 He later used the name "William Barclay Masterson".
His father Thomas Masterson (or Mastersan) was born in Canada of an Irish family; and his mother Catherine McGurk (or McGureth) was born in Ireland.〔Bat later claimed on U.S. census that he was born in Illinois or Missouri, but that was probably because he had never bothered to become naturalized and had voted and held public office.〕 He was the second child in a family of five brothers and two sisters.〔The six other Masterson children were Edward John (1852-1878), James Patrick (1855-1895), Nellie E. (1857-1925), Thomas (1858-1941), George Henry (1860-1889), and Emma Anna "Minnie" (1862-1884).〕 They were raised on farms in Quebec, New York, and Illinois, until they finally settled near Wichita, Kansas.
