How Well Do You Know The History of The Wild West?

Where did companies find fighting men for hire?

The Wild West was a dangerous place from inception; it was home to extreme violence, criminal gangs, and outlaws even though some pretty important companies also existed in the region.

As a result of the amount of violence around them, the companies that operated in the region had to seek protection and they found it by hiring fighting men to help protect their investments. They found most of the fighting personnel for hire in Dodge City, Kansas; the city was a famous hangout for gunslingers so it fit the bill perfectly.
