Reverend Wright Builds Dodge City First Church
In 1887 the Rev. Ormond Wright, a Presbyterian mission worker, arrived in Dodge City, Kansas once known as the wickedest town in the West. He preached in saloons and dance halls and organized a church after raising 450 dollars with help from local residents and a matching grant from New York. The town’s rough crowd funded the project, and Wright earned respect by performing a compassionate funeral for a murdered prostitute.
