the claim

Frontier cattle towns such as Dodge City and Wichita had exceptionally high homicide rates in the 1870s.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that frontier cattle towns such as Dodge City and Wichita had exceptionally high homicide rates in the 1870s?

Unclear. The retrieved items only describe Dodge City and Wichita as notoriously violent or 'wild' frontier towns; none provides homicide rates or any 1870s quantification, so the claim's specific magnitude is not established.
