Fueled by Stuart N. Lake's watershed 1931 biography titled Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshal, by the 1950s TV series titled The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, and by dozens of other books and movies, the legend of Wyatt Earp is unique in that it has continued to mushroom into bigger and bigger mythology and international public interest while most other Old West legends have faded into the past. This visually-stunning book by Lee A. Silva is the result of fourteen years of research, and it is the first of four volumes on the continuing controversies that surround the life and legend of Wyatt Earp. Wyatt Earp, A Biography of the Legend, Volume One: The Cowtown Years covers the life of Wyatt Earp from his birth in Monmouth, Illinois in 1848 thru the year 1879 just before he moved to Tombstone, Arizona. (Wyatt Earp's years in Tombstone will be covered by Silva'sorth-coming, second volume in this series, Tombstone, the Legend-Making Years.) |
