The author never intended to write about Wyatt Earp or the
Tombstone saga. What could be learned from another retelling of
that old chestnut? New revelations, like the ""Otero Letter,""
alter traditional interpretations of Earp's sanguinary campaign as
a personal feud ala western fiction. It was a seek and destroy
mission sanctioned by the attorney-general, the United States
marshal and governor of Arizona Territory, following a year of
corrupt law enforcement in league with the Cow-boys' expanded
livestock raids, stagecoach holdups, and other atrocities. This
work is divided into three sections. The first part establishes the
major players prior to converging on Tombstone. Part two recaps the
Earp path to confrontation via a monthly/daily account of the
18-months culminating with the final bloody field action. Part
three covers the provenance, authenticity and credibility of the
""Otero Letter;"" a detailed examination of each statement in the
letter including the shotgun dual between Wyatt Earp and Curly
Bill; the split between Earp and Holliday; sanctuary for the Earp
posse in Colorado and Holliday's extradition fight; Earp's covert
Phase II assault resulting in Johnny Ringo's death; the
controversial courtship and marriage of Earp and Josephine Marcus;
and the author's concluding observations.
