Wyatt Earp
Primary Sources of Famous People in American History
Wyatt Earp was best known as the fearless frontier lawman, and as the survivor in the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Part myth, and part truth, Earp's life is the stuff that legends are made of. He lived during a time of rapid westward expansion, when bigger-than-life characters aroused the imagination and stirred the attention of storytellers across the country. Both lawman and lawbreaker, he was a tireless self-promoter who encouraged the legends and the stories. Primary source images and fun fact boxes offer insight into this fascinating Wild West character.
