The author of the acclaimed Sala's Gift delivers a definitive
biography of Josephine Marcus Earp, a Jewish woman from New York
who became the common-law wife of famed lawman and gambler Wyatt
Earp.
For nearly fifty years, Josephine Sarah Marcus Earp lived with
the most famous lawman of the Old West. How did this aspiring
actress and dancer--a Jewish girl from New York--land in Tombstone,
Arizona, and steal the heart of Wyatt Earp? In this fascinating
biography, Ann Kirschner brings Josephine out of the shadows of
history to tell her full story--a spirited and colorful tale of
ambition, adventure, self-invention, and romance. Kirschner offers
a rare look at a woman's life on the frontier and sheds new light
on the iconic gunfight that made Wyatt Earp a legend, revealing
Josephine's place at its center. Lady at the O.K. Corral introduces
a vivacious woman with a magnetic personality who was equally at
home in the deserts of the American Southwest and the boomtowns of
the Alaskan Gold Rush; in the opulent hotels of San Francisco; in
mining camps, casinos, racetracks, and boxing arenas; and on
Hollywood back lots visiting Cecil B. DeMille and Samuel
Goldwyn.
Spanning more than half a century, this engaging narrative
biography brings Josephine to the forefront of her own story and
offers a fresh look at a remarkable era in American history.
