"After seeing Tombstone and Wyatt Earp, and liking/despising aspects of both films, I decided to give a qualified historian a chance to tell me the story. I know there are several "serious" non-fiction works about Wyatt Earp, but this is the one I happened on. I really enjoyed it.
Tefertiller is generally frank and objective, clearly not carried away by the mythologized portrait of Mr. Earp. As best I can tell, in real life the Gun Fight at the O.K. Corral was a gang fight. It's just that one of the gangs wore badges and was on better terms with the local judge.
Because of the excessive romanticization done in the above mentioned movies, the work of any serious biography of Wyatt Earp is to de-romanticize a story that shouldn't be romanticized. This biography does that, while striving to give a balanced portrayal of the real humans who played out a tragically unfortunate event in the old West."
"Good book for sure, but I think he included a few too many clips from various newspapers and publications. I understand the need to have some to back up what he was saying, but it seemed a little too much for me."
"This is the first biography i have ever read. i am amazed by the detail that Tefertiller goes into about life in tombstone at that time. I feel, at times it is a bit overwhelming and takes away from the story line. But the book is definately thourough and well researched. i recommend this book to any aspiring history buff."
