Author: Bob Boze Bell Published by: TriStar-Boze Cover Type: Paperback Page Count: 144 pages Reader Comments: The mystique surrounding Wyatt Earp,Doc Holiday, John Ringo, and the other "heros" of the town of Tombstone, Az.is as captivating now as ever before. The previous books about Wyatt ("Wyatt Earp,Frontier Marshall", "Tombstone", "I Married Wyatt Earp" etc.) were usually based on conjecture and subjectivity. The truth is that even though Wyatt Earp is an American idol of epic porportions, known to almost everybody, only small amounts of his life are varified by historical fact. This includes "The Gunfight At The OK Corral". With this book Mr. Bell not only gives you a sense of the times with many extraordinary photos and paintings but also tells us what is known for sure and what may or may not be the truth. He also discusses the movies (and there are a lot) about not only the gunfight and the people involved but also those on which Wyatt may have been a consultant. I have never read anything that left me with such a through understanding of the gunfight and the aftermath.Also, I have not until now ever really understood why Wyatt was famous in the first place. This is a great book to read first before you watch any of the movies or read any the other books. This along with "The Illustrated Life and Times of Doc Holliday" also by Bob Boze Bell form a solid and totally entertaining foundation from which to evaluate, understand, and enjoy the many, many versions available of the "Earp Legend".
