This book has some facts in it but also some exaggerations.
The review of this Book prepared by Geoffrey R. Bernstein




Wyatt Earp is one of the most famous characters of the old west. This particular edition of his life was written by Stuart Lake in 1931. It has been reprinted many times and is still in print today. Lake had many conversations with Earp so he could tell the true story. Includes the famous shoot-out at the O.K. Corral.
