There was an article in the “American Rifleman” a few years back about an old guy who served in the 6th Cavalry near Tombstone.

The old guy lived to over a hundred and knew Earp personally. He did not think much of him. I think he described him as a pimp who only used the badge for advantage. He also described Doc. Holliday as an insane killer.

I saw a show on TCM a few years back about Wyatt Earp hanging out in a young movie town Hollywood trying to sell his life story for the movies. A young John Wayne (Then a stunt man) befriended Earp and they became friends. Wayne was so taken with Earp that he started to walk and talk like Earp. This is the western persona that Wayne used in his movies. Very interesting stuff. By the way,a young Hollywood was not interested in Earp's story.
