He walked into the most famous gunfight of the Old West, and he walked out without a scratch.
This is the complete life of Wyatt Earp. A farm boy from Illinois, he became a buffalo hunter, a Kansas lawman in Wichita and Dodge City, a gambler and a Wells Fargo shotgun guard. Then he took the road to a silver boomtown in Arizona called Tombstone.
There, alongside his brothers Virgil and Morgan and his friend Doc Holliday, he was pulled into a feud with the Clantons, the McLaurys and the outlaws known as the Cowboys. It ended in thirty seconds of gunfire in a narrow lot on Fremont Street on 26 October 1881. What came after was worse: an ambush in the dark, a brother murdered at a billiard table, and a ride for revenge across the Arizona desert that made him a wanted man.
Told from beginning to end as it happened: the towns, the enemies, the courtroom and the men who rode beside him.
