Truth about Wyatt Earp (Paperback)

The "Truth About Wyatt Earp" is the definitive book about Wyatt Earp. I have read many books about Wyatt Earp and they can be separated between the myth makers and the bashers. Mr. Erwins book is simply the best in that it is factual, educational and enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the process of getting to the "truth" and solving the various mysteries about Wyatt Earp. I have not seen such a well researched book on Wyatt Earp since maybe Paula Mitchell Mark’s famous "And Die In The West". Mr. Erwin considered the facts from all the known researchers before reaching his conclusions, rather than just three or four sources like most researchers. The author must have spent years researching all the material in this book. He endeavored to show Wyatt as a real man, with faults like everyone has. Wyatt was no hero with a halo, nor was he a braggart, liar, and murderer The "Truth About Wyatt Earp" explains that Wyatt was a flesh and blood human being, something that most authors forget in writing biographys.
