Wyatt Earp traces the law officer, gambler and entrepreneur whose varied career became inseparable from the mythology of Tombstone. It follows his work in Kansas cattle towns, movement to Arizona and alliance with his brothers and Doc Holliday.

The biography reconstructs the political and personal conflict behind the gunfight near the O.K. Corral and the retaliatory violence that followed. It then follows Earp’s later mining and business ventures, showing how interviews, biographies and film turned a complicated frontier figure into an enduring emblem of western justice.
