Wow! If you are and Earp fan or someone who it intrigued by the Old West, then this is the book for you. A lot of "factual" books about this person or this time are dry and difficult to get thru, but this book DOES NOT come out that way at all. Very interesting and the author carefully goes over other author's versions of events/occurances in Earp's life and why he believes them to be erroneous or only partially truthful. I found myself even more intrigued with Earp after reading this book! I kept excitedly reading excerpts to my family.
