A propos de cet article

This is a rare book and a collector's item among Western enthusiasts. Fern Canyon Press only printed less than 1,000 softcovers. The rest were softcover. Fall River published a number of inferior abridged editions with one of the accounts deleted to cut their printing costs. They also moved the footnotes to the end of the chapters, making it very difficult to read the corrections, additional notes, and commentaries while reading the main text which was written from Wyatt Earp's memory at a time when the facts weren't readily available. The footnotes are essential for a full understanding of what happened. This edition made them easy to access. Both of Fern Canyon Press's print editions sold out about 20 years ago, yet they remain the best editions. I'm John Richard Stephens, the author/editor of this book. I collected all of the rare accounts in this book and wrote the introductions and notes. I'm clearing my storage and found I have a few mint copies, along some new unused dust-jackets, so I'll include an extra one with this book. In addition, I'll be glad to inscribe and autograph the book in any way you please--to yourself, as a gift, or however you prefer. This is an unusual opportunity to get a brand-new copy of a rare book that has been out-of-print for decades and is highly prized by collectors of Western history. Now a little about the book itself from the publisher: Legendary lawman Wyatt Earp entered Wild West history with his guns blazing and people have been fighting about him ever since. His exploits have become so distorted by many books and movies that, chances are, almost everything you know about Wyatt Earp and the O.K. Corral Gunfight is wrong. Over the years so much has been made up about what happened that the truth is now deeply buried under a pile of distortions, faulty inferences, embellishments, and outright lies. For the first time ever, Wyatt Earp’s writings, court testimony, newspaper interviews and other hard-to-find items from contemporary sources are brought together in this collection. Wyatt Earp himself explains his side of the gunfight near the O.K. Corral and his experiences as a frontier lawman in Tombstone and Dodge City. This unique book also includes several interviews with Doc Holliday, Bat Masterson’s tributes to Wyatt and Doc, Big Nose Kate's account, a shot-by-shot reconstruction of the famous gunfight with diagrams, and is lavishly illustrated with maps, drawings and photographs. Now find out what really happened at the infamous gunfight near the O.K. Corral--which was one of the largest shootouts in Wild West history--and what life was like in the lawless wilds in and around Tombstone, Arizona. In this wonderful sourcebook, discover what Wyatt and Doc had to say about the events that made them famous. “One day six of the cowboys came into town and proposed to run it. The Earps were informed of their doings and they invited me to go over to where the cowboys were. One of the Earps said, ‘Throw up your hands; we have come to disarm you.’ Instead of putting up their paws they put up their revolvers and began firing.” -- Doc Holliday “Bullets were flying so fast that I could not keep track of them. Frank McLaury had given a yell when I shot him and made for the street with his hand over his stomach.” -- Wyatt Earp The cowboys said it was murder. The Earps said they fired in self-defense. Discover the details and decide what you think it was.…
