Wyatt Earp
The Library of American Lives and Times
Finding the real Wyatt Earp in the legend can be a daunting task. A tireless self-promoter, Earp lived in a time of rapid westward expansion when the Wild West was born. Both a lawbreaker and a law enforcer, Earp was a central figure in the stories Americans began to tell about themselves. Today we can look back and separate the man from the myth, and learn how the West was truly won.
