Summary
In part one of Wyatt Earp, the man and the myth, we explore Earp's early life growing up in Iowa, his brothers leaving the farm to fight for the Union in 1861, his first jobs out west in California, then Cheyenne, his first marriage, the loss of his wife and child, then his troubled years after her death. Then we cover his leaving again for the west and becoming a lawman, and his work and friendship with Bat Masterson, Doc Holliday, and other notables of the time.
