Wyatt Earp was a legendary and historical man of the wild west. He is perhaps one of the most known lawmen, even though he was only one for six of his eighty years that he lived (America.,1). He is most noted for the famous gunfight at the O.K. Coral, where with his two brothers, Virgil and Morgan and Doc Holliday, had a run in with the Clantons and the McLaury brothers.two families that did not like the Earps. This incident is what many think of when they hear "Wyatt Earp,' and regard him as a cold-blooded killer, however, that is not entirely true. .
Wyatt Barry Strap Earp was born in Monmouth, Illinois on March 19, 1848 to the parents of Nicholas and Virginia Earp. He had four brothers, Virgil, Morgan, Warren, and James, one sister, Adelia, and a half brother, Newton (there could be more sisters, but their names and their birthdays are widely disputed). Wyatt's mother was known for her impeccable fearlessness. It was said that her fearless initiative equaled and excelled that of any man in her company at the time (Lake, 5). .
Of all of Wyatt's brothers, he was the closest to Virgil and Morgan. It was said to be, that with their boots off, they were no more than just a quarter inch apart in height; They were all just over six feet tall. Also, there was only a three-pound difference in their weight, with none of them being more than one hundred and fifty-eight. The three of them made up the famous trio called the "Fearless Earps." The reason why James wasn't along with his brothers was because of a wound he received during the Civil War. Their other brother Warren was just too young (Lake,6).
In 1870, Wyatt ran against his brother Newton to be constable in Lamar Missouri. This was his first job related to the law. Many people think that the only reason Wyatt and Newton ran against each other was to make sure that someone in the family got the job (Nicks,1). He didn't stay in town for long, and left Lamar in 1871, after the death of his first wife, Urilla, who died of typhoid fever.
