Did the popular Wyatt Earp television series depict the true Arizona marshal? Or, were the facts of his life colored and distorted? All Wyatt Earp buffs as well as history-oriented readers of Western Americana will find this book an eye-opener. Many will learn for the first time about Wyatt's second wife, Mattie, who committed suicide after he abandoned her. The facts of this suppressed marriage are gathered after extensive travel, any interviews and tireless research. And then the findings are expanded in footnotes and authenticated in a series of ten appendices. In these, the writer quotes from family letters, from census records, from Mattie Earp's name on a recorded mortgage, from the coroner's inquest at the time of her death and from an item in the Tombstone Epitaph. Irrefutable evidence, all of it, that the complete Wyatt Earp story was never told. A picture section of previously unpublished photographs of Earp's parents and other relatives, adds greatly to the interest of this revealing chronicle.. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Good
