There really was a Long Branch Saloon in Dodge City. Built 1874, burned down 1885. It had gambling and gunfights. You could even order a sarsaparilla—cowboy soft drink. Pity the poor cowpoke who ordered one. It also hosted the Dodge City Cowboy Band—still going strong. I would love to hear the old band. Now excuse me, but the doggies are waiting to go on the last roundup.
