Don Chaput says about this book, "Lee Silva's work on Wyatt Earp establishes new approaches and interpretations that should intrigue many readers. Instead of straight narrative history, Silva presents the various controversies, along with loads of documentation. He includes many new sources and never hesitates to present the diverse point of view about one of the West's most colorful personalities. If readers disagree, they will do so in the face of multiple sources, many never previously used." As new, in dust jacket.
