Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp was born in Monmouth, IL on March 19, 1848. He is best known as the fearless frontier lawman of Wichita and Dodge City, Kansas and principal survivor of "The Gunfight at the OK Corral".
In 1870, he returned east from Colton, CA and married his first wife. The sudden death of his new bride made him drift in Indian Territory and work hunting buffalo and as a stagecoach driver.
In 1875, he arrived in Wichita, Kansas and joined the police force. In 1876, he moved to Dodge City and became a card dealer in a famous saloon and made Asst. Marshal. It was here where he met and became lifelong friends with Bat Masterson and Doc Holliday, and he established his reputation as a notable lawman and gambler.
He moved to Tombstone, AZ in 1879 with his second wife, and his brothers and their wives. Here, he acquired the gambling concession at an oriental saloon and his brother Virgil became the town Marshal while Morgan took a job with the police department. It was here that Wyatt met his third wife, Josie who remained with him until his death.
On October 26th, 1881, a feud that had developed between the Earps and the gang led by Ike Clanton culminated in "The Gunfight at the OK Corral". Three of the Clanton gang died while Ike and another escaped. The Earps and Doc Holliday survived, but both Morgan and Virgil were wounded.
In March 1882, Morgan was gunned down. Wyatt, Warren, and some friends killed all four suspects. Wyatt and Josie fled to Colorado. Wyatt died on January 13, 1929 in Los Angeles, California at age 80.
