Bog beskrivelse

What can be learned from another retelling of the Tombstone saga? Recent revelations challenge the traditional view of Wyatt Earp''s campaign against the Cow-boy confederation as a bloody personal feud a la western fiction. It was a seek and destroy mission sanctioned by the United States attorney general, the U.S. marshal and the Arizona Territory governor, following a year of corrupt law enforcement in league with the Cow-boys'' livestock raids, stagecoach holdups and other atrocities.

Presented in three sections, this book establishes the major players involved in the convergence on Tombstone, provides an account of Earp''s activities during the 18 months prior to the final action and discusses the provenance and credibility of the "Otero Letter." Discovered in 2001, the letter--believed to be written by New Mexico Territory Governor Miguel Otero--offers evidence that Earp''s party was given government aid.

The author examines the details of the letter, including the shotgun dual between Earp and Curly Bill, the split between Earp and Doc Holliday, sanctuary for the Earp posse in Colorado and Holliday''s extradition fight, Earp''s covert assault resulting in Johnny Ringo''s death, and the controversial courtship and marriage of Earp and Josephine Marcus.
