Inventing Wyatt Earp

"On October 26, 1881, Wyatt Earp along with his two brothers and Doc Holliday shot it out with a gang of cattle rustlers near the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. It was over in half a minute, but those thirty violent seconds made the thirty-three year old Wyatt Earp the stuff of legend."--BOOK JACKET. "The gunfight at the O.K. Corral, however, neither launched nor climaxed a career that in the course of eighty-two colorful years took Wyatt Earp from an Iowa farm to the movie studios of Hollywood, where he worked as an advisor on film westerns. Along the way he saw real-life action as a buffalo hunter, bodyguard, detective, bounty hunter, gambler, boxing referee, prospector, saloon keeper, and, on occasion, a superb lawman."--BOOK JACKET. "This authoritative, new biography tells Wyatt Earp's story in all its amazing variety - a story the celebrated lawman shares with the likes of Bat Masterson, Earp's colleague on the Dodge City police force; the tubercular, gun-toting southern gentleman Doc Holliday; and Josephine Sarah Marcus, a beautiful Jewish girl from New York City who lived and traveled with Earp throughout the last forty-seven years of his life."--BOOK JACKET.

המשפט הראשון: If the story of Wyatt Earp is the story of the West, as Bat Masterson claimed, then the white two-story structure where Wyatt was born on March 19, 1848, is a disappointment.
