Reviews

This is a highly significant addition to Earpiana-there is nothing to compare it with. That the editors have gathered quality articles from numerous publications, many of them not available online or easy to obtain, saves a lot of work for future researchers." - Mike Cox, author of The Texas Rangers: Wearing the Cinco Peso, 1821–1900 and Time of the Rangers: Texas Rangers from 1900 to the Present “A tome of massive proportions of one of the legendary figures of the American West. An assemblage of 63 essays compiled by three major historians and experts Roy B Young, Gary L Roberts and Casey Tefertiller. Brilliantly written oustandingly researched life of Earp in chronological format. This huge book contains a staggering amount of quality articles. It is an excellent reference source for research, historians, writers and readers of the American West. An absolute necessary requirement for anyone with a smidgen of interest in Wyatt Earp and the history surrounding his life. An immense opus of significant value. A joy to own.” Alan R Beattie, Americana Books
