    William Branham had difficulty separating fiction from reality.

    The real Matt Dillon didn't exist

    Marshal Matt Dillon was a fictional character featured on both the radio and television versions of "Gunsmoke". In the program, he served as the U.S. Marshal of Dodge City, Kansas, who worked to preserve law and order in the western frontier of the 1870s.

    In the radio version, Marshal Dillon spoke of actual persons who were well known in the history of the American West, including Wyatt Earp and Billy the Kid (whose "supposed" origin figured in the very first episode of the radio series), and he often referred to Wild Bill Hickok as being a close personal friend.[1]
