I can’t locate a copy of Richard O’Connor’s Bat Masterson book, listed in the credits of the TV series starring Gene Barry. Is there another biography I can buy?

The best book on the man is by Robert DeArment, Bat Masterson: The Man and the Legend (University of Oklahoma Press, 1979). DeArment is one of our most respected Western writers. I bought a copy on the Internet just a few weeks ago.
