  • Wyatt Earp by Robert Hilliard
    Wyatt Earp By Robert Hilliard One of the greatest legends of the American West, Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp was born on March 19, 1848, in Monmouth, Illinois, the third of five sons born to Nicholas and Virginia Ann Earp. The Civil War broke out when Wyatt was 13 years old. Desperate to leave the family farm in Illinois and find adventure, Earp tried several times to join his two older brothers, Virgil and James, in the Union army. But each time, Wyatt was caught before he ever reached the battlefield, and was returned home. At the age of 17 he finally left his family, now living in California, for a new life along the frontier. He worked hauling freight, and then later was hired to grade track for the Union Pacific Railroad. In his downtime he learned to box and became a respectable gambler. In 1869, Earp returned to the fold of his family, who had made a home in Lamar, Missouri. A new, more settled life seemed to await Earp. After his father resigned as constable of the township, Earp replaced him. By 1870 Wyatt married Urilla Sutherland, the daughter of the local hotel owner, built a house in town and was an expecting father. Suddenly, everything changed. Within a year of their marriage Urilla contracted typhus and died, along with her unborn child. Broken and devastated by his wife's death, Wyatt left Lamar, Missouri and set off on a new life devoid of any kind of discipline. In Arkansas, he was arrested for stealing a horse, but managed to avoid punishment by escaping from his jail cell.

  • Doc Holliday by Robert Hilliard
    Doc Holliday By Robert Hilliard Be honest with yourself. When you think about the outlaws and gunfighters of the old west, which one comes to mind first? Well, for me, it has always been Doc Holliday. Here is a man that came into this world with the best intentions, but ended up contracting a disease that not only hit him early in his life, but shaped the type of person he would be until his dying day. John Henry “Doc” Holliday was born on August 14, 1851 in Griffin, Georgia, to Henry Burroughs Holliday and Alice Jane Holliday. He grew up a Southern gentleman and at the age of 21 obtained his Dental degree and moved to St. Louis, Missouri to work with a classmate and setup his practice. Shortly after, Doc was diagnosed with tuberculosis and carried the disease throughout the remainder of his life. Holliday moved around frequently setting up practices in Atlanta, Dallas and points in between. Everywhere he went, his disease would eventually end his practice. Finally, while trying to practice as a dentist in Dallas, Texas, Doc found he had another skill that would aid him in making a living. He became skilled as a gambler. Over the years, Doc found himself engaged in fights and gunfights that would land him in jail for a short period of time. However, Doc managed to gain a reputation, not only as a skilled gambler and gunfighter, but as a person who lived as if today where his last day on earth. Knowing that tuberculosis would eventually do him in, Doc Holliday lived the rest of his days as if he had no fear.

Box 207 Pearce, Arizona 85625 2 THE LIFE AND TIMES OF WYATT EARP by John D. Gilchriese Field Historian, University of Arizona On March 19, 1848 a seemingly unimportant event took place in Monmouth, Warren County, Illinois. Although nearly totally unnoticed at the time, the birth of Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp would prove significant to countless individuals interested in the history of the post Civil War, trans-Mississippi West. His name has become commonplace to serious historians and an army of fictioneers alike. Yet, history shows that this man spent little actual time in Mon­ mouth. Just two years after his birth, the Earp family migrated to Pella, in southeastern Iowa. On the beautiful rolling prairies sur­ rounding this small agricultural town, Wyatt Earp grew to manhood. Due to the rigid insistence of his father, Nicholas Porter Earp, Wyatt, his brothers and sisters received a two-fold education. For the sons this included not only classroom studies, but a knowledge of several trades as well. Farm work, however, never appealed to Wyatt who as a small boy craved the more adventurous pursuits of hunting and exploring the local Iowa countryside.

  • Wyatt Earp Program Transcript
    Page 1 Wyatt Earp Program Transcript Narrator: Wyatt Earp loved cowboy movies. In the 1920s he would travel from one end of Los Angeles to the other just to watch the latest releases. Wyatt was always glad for an escape from the monotony of his tiny bungalow. But even more, he hoped the movies would vindicate him. Forty years earlier, in an Arizona mining town, Wyatt and his brothers were drawn into a bitter conflict that echoed through the West. Tombstone and the OK Corral had haunted him ever since. Casey Tefertiller, Writer: His one brother had been maimed, another murdered. He went out and got the guys who did it. There weren’t any doubts, there weren’t any questions, he believed he’d done right, but it would always come back to him. Narrator: Wyatt had long since grown tired of the looks and questions, of wondering whether the strangers just wanted to shake the hand of a killer. He spent his days imagining a movie that would set them all straight, starring Hollywood’s most famous cowboy, William S. Hart. “If the story were exploited on the screen by you,” he wrote Hart, “it would do much toward setting me right before a public which has always been fed lies about me.” Hart never made Wyatt’s movie, and Wyatt didn’t live to see his redemption. But within a few years of his death, writers and filmmakers turned Wyatt Earp into a new kind of western hero. This story of a man who took the law into his own hands answered a deep longing in a society that had been transformed by vast, impersonal forces.
