The Gunfight at the OK Corral on 26 October 1881 is one of the most enduring stories of the Old West.

It led to a series of violent incidents that culminated in the Vendetta Ride, in which Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and several other gunslingers went after their rivals the Cowboys. Like most tales of the Wild West, the facts are buried under layers of myth, and the line between good guys and bad guys is blurry.

This is the story of Wyatt Earp, leader of the so-called “good guys”, who was charged with stealing horses in the Indian Territory in 1870 and jumped bail. Becoming a buffalo hunter and gambler, he got into several scrapes and earned a reputation as a gunfighter.

Alongside illustrations, this book explores these scrapes and gives a clear overview of the subject, ideal for fans of the "Wild West".

Sean McLachlan worked for ten years as an archaeologist before becoming a full-time writer specializing in history and adventure travel. He lived for twelve years in southern Arizona and explored most of the locations described in this volume. Sean has published several books on history, with a focus on the Civil War and the Old West. His novel, A Fine Likeness, is set in Civil War Missouri. Visit him on the web at civilwarhorror.blogspot.com.
