Wyatt Earp was a pimp and a thief - so were his brothers
I read an article in “The American Rifleman” several years ago. It was a reprint of one which had been printed not all that long before.
The author was a veteran of the 6th Cavalry who was stationed right outside Tombstone during the time of Wyatt etc.
That was the same description he gave of Earp. He said he was a pimp who used the badge for his own benefit. He also did not care for Doc. Holiday who he described as an insane killer.
settle down brother, it’s alright.
Maybe when he was alive... but not anymore
What will you be after you pass?
We all have an idea of who we are, what we have done and what we have accomplished.
When you can see that end in the near future it seems the past blurs a bit and anyone of us would try to paint a picture of who we think we are for those that think of us in the future.
He had help but he sure did paint a picture and it wasn’t luck, it was a good painting.
Dang it ... I posted to you about Earp and forgot to point it out that my post was in response to your post...
“Wyatt Earp was a pimp and a thief - so were his brothers”
I was not dissing Mr O’Brian or trying to elaborate on His Life
Sheesh ...
