The craziest part of Wyatt earp's life was maybe when he, Doc Holiday, & that Texas jack dude..... Go after the cowboy Gang... Of the old wild west.. And eventually disbanding the gang... Henceforth making him a legend .... He died 1922 ryt? 🤔
There was no trial. There was a hearing for Wyatt Earp and Doc Holladay that concluded that the two men did not break the law. My great-great grandfather testified at the hearing. His name was Apolinar Bauer. He owned the meat market behind the OK corral and next to Flys studio. He also owned most of 4th street which was referred to as Bauer's block since he was responsible for most if not all the buildings construction.
I think I’ve read everything ever written about this man, he was no angel, he seems to always be either eulogized or vilified. But, I have to say if you know anything at all about American history, this man is what we would definitely define today as a major “Bad Ass”.
You know I was completely blown away when I passed his and Josephine ‘s tombstone on my way to visit my mom’s resting place. At first I had no idea who he was until I fell across the recently released movie on Sling tv about his life. Dang what a unexpected surprise! The next time I go to visit my mom, I’m gonna show my dad Wyatt Earp’s Tombstone......no. I don’t mean the movie! WOW!
....Wyatt Earp coached an injured football player from USC who had lost his scholarship, and who had been brought to him by football fan ,and actor, Tom Mix. Mix felt bad for the injured star and wanted to get him started in the movies. The young student absorbed Earp's speech and mannerisms, and after changing his name from Marion Morrison....he became : JOHN WAYNE !! When you watch John Wayne on screen, you are watching WYATT EARP !!
History has probably been very kind to the person that was able to tell his own story. Who knows what the truth is. We are almost certainly getting mostly one side of the story. But, it is also cool to have someone live through all of that and be able to tell the story. He will always be a part of American folklore
The Earps and Doc Holliday never stood trial for murder. There was a preliminary hearing, the so-called "Spicer Hearing," at which it was determined that there was no probable cause to take the matter to an actual trial. In the Fitzsimmons-Sharkey fight, Wyatt made the correct call. If he were trying to throw the fight, he wouldn't have waited until the 8th round. Fitzsimmons had already hit Sharkey below the belt, and Wyatt let him off with a warning. When it happened again, Wyatt called the fight. A man who runs a brothel is not a pimp. A pimp runs girls in the street. The guy who runs a brothel is a businessman. Besides, Wyatt and Morgan worked as security and bouncers, they didn't actually run any brothels. And the Buntline Special revolvers were nothing but a myth. Great video, I just had to put in my two cents!
It was said that Wyatt's biographer was the cause of many of the exaggerations due to him not understanding Wyatt who began to mumble in his old age, also not helped by the fact that Wyatt died before the biography was finished.
HE LEARNED A LOT FROM OTHER PPL,AND ENVY'S SOME.HE WAS ALSO A COPY'ER OF PPL WHO ACTED TOUGH,AND KNEW HOW TO HANDLED A GUN.AND ALSO WAS ALWAY'S ASKING GUN SMITH'S QUESTION'S.LOKE HOW TO MAKE A HAIR TRIGGER.AND WOULD LEAVE HIS GUN TO BE WORKED ON.BUT ALWAYS HAD ONE ON HIM,HE WOULD NEVER BE,WHAT HE CALLED ,NAKID''..
Wyatt and I have the same grandfather. His grandfather is my great great great grandfather. You can look at his family records, his cousin is my great grandmother. We always called her big mama but her name is Vera Earp. Her dad and Wyatts dad were brothers. so his grandfather is my great great great grandfather. Im proud to be related to him
I've known since I lived in my first house a victorian eara hood.I found out that a house i walked by and admired allmost daily was whete Whyatt lived out the tail end of his life.I got good vibes off Wyatt before I knew anything about him.This story proves to me what I allready thought Wyatt Erard was the bomb of a super cool dude.
Oh and by the way I do have an MS in Education, so I don’t want this just to be a hero fantasy comment. Wyatt Earp wouldn’t be considered a hero today. Yes, He was a bad boy. But, I think more good than bad. Reason being he and his whole family were raised by an in love well adjusted parents, not rich but dedicated to family. It was more of the times they lived in and the hardships that caused them “to find a way”. In the end all of the Earps gave themselves to truth and justice.
I can’t actually think of anyone in all of American History more badass than Wyatt Earp, I dare anyone to come with some one else in real American History.
My boyfriend and my children are Earps! They are distantly related to Wyatt Earp. I'm trying to learn a little bit more about his life. He is pretty cool!
If look up Wyatt Earp you can find out plenty about his life including his career in law enforcement prior to moving to Tombstone, how Wyatt Earp met Doc Holliday and became an enemy of The Cowboy gang.
@@alysiadriggers4966 No joke. That was his real name. A big boy too! A lot bigger than me. Turns out a flying drop kick to the chest was a smart strategic move, which knocked him off balance. This was back in the 1960s in the 8th grade. My mom had to pull me off of him. Ah, memories!
Not to change the subject, but anyone see the 1950s movie, “One Eye’d Jacks?” The shoot out between Marlon Brando and Carl Maldon! Incredible Western and study in human character!! That said, “Tombstone” is the best Wild West Western I’ve ever seen!!!
Enjoyed those clips from the TV series, The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, staring Hugh O'Brian. Ran 1955 to 61. O'Brian was the last man that John Wayne ever killed on screen in, The Shootist, 1976.
Wyatts grandfather was my great great great grandfather. My great grandma Vera Earp was Wyatts cousin, her dad and Wyatts dad were brothers. Im proud to be a decendent of their bloodline
Morgan was a YOUNGER brother, not older. He was one month shy of his 31st birthday when he was murdered ( assassinated as he was shot in the back) and was only 30 y.o. At the time of the shootout.
My great grandpa was in Dodge City in the 1870's-'80's working mostly as a blacksmith but for a short while as sheriff. When Wyatt first came to town, he refused to hang up his gun with the bartender at the saloon. So someone went to fetch the sheriff. When ordered to obey the law, again he refused. So Peter Walter (my great grandpa) decked him! Knocked him to the floor. Remember, he was a blacksmith. Lol! But then, he reached down to give Wyatt a hand back up to his feet, and the story my grandma told me was they became friends from then on. Long story short, not only did Wyatt die in Southern California, so did Peter Walter, my great grandfather in San Diego. What a lot of people don't know about Dodge City in the 1870's & '80's was that all the saloons north of the railroad track had rules like that, but the saloons & brothels south of the track did not. Peter Walter's blacksmith shop was in a block of buildings that were razed in the '70's when the State widened the road. However, great grandma Julia's hotel/boarding house is still there, across the street from Applebees. I worked on a wind farm project 4 yrs ago and during a ice storm, took some down time to check out the historical society. Found a ton of info about my great grandpa... but nothing about the family story involving Wyatt Erp. Oh well...
I'm sure a lot of his life is probably written a little better than it actually was,but in the end I bet it was still a great adventure.. Variety is key an I think he enjoyed a lot of that.
Wyatt was a bad ass. He would smack a person around. He also loved budding people with his gun so he would not get any murder charges. Once he was deputized again he shot and killed all the gang the cowboys and yes Doc Holiday was a great friend. Holiday died of Turboculous because there was no vaccine then. So he did get wreckless but didn't die of alcoholism.
He didn't embellish his life. He was very reluctant to talk about the past. Stuart Lake did some embellishing, but not with Earp's approval. Earp's reputation has suffered enough. let's be fair.
Earps should not have to face jail Beause there was no law in the town of tombstone the cowboys took over if they had some kind law back then none of this would happen the Earps are hero
As soon as the Colt Single Action Army came out you could order them with special barrel lengths for an extra Dollar for every inch or fraction of an inch over 7 1/2 inches. The fact that you can't bother to do enough reserch to discover this discredits your whole video. Whay you probably did was ask about a Buntline Special which wasn't introduced as a seperate model until after the TV show came out. Next time ask about Colt single actions with extra long barrels.
It is a matter of contention as to whether Ned Buntline (a nom de plume) ever gave Wyatt Earp a 12" barrel Colt Single Action Army .45 cal. revolver. It is not disputed that extra long barrel handguns were built by custom order by Colt that may of not been registered in that company's logbooks. Such things were not uncommon before the 20th century. It is very much the case that Colt did not catalog the 'Buntline Special' until Colt began to issue its second generation of the Single Action Army due to the 'western' craze of 1950's television. Many of those extra long barrel authentic Colt's now bring thousands of dollars (dependent upon series of manufacture and condition) at auction.
Every story about the Earp's & 'Doc' Holliday miss mentioning the WEATHER conditions @ the time of the "Shootout (near/next) to the O. K. Corral". It was so COLD that morning, there was so much 'sleet' (hail) that it looked like SNOW.. About a half hr after the gunbattle, it snowed on the city of Tombstone & surrounding area. Ever been so COLD u can't stop shaking? I have. Ever been so 'scared' you started 'shaking', I have. Now given the 2 questions above; The Earps' & Holliday were PRECIEVED as "professional gunfighters". You & Clanton near the O. K. Corral hear the Earps & Holliday are heading to your location..maybe u start 'shaking' because earlier were all 'bad-mouthin'" the Earps/'Doc' & think they have heard about you 'bad-mouthing' them. Then add to this how DAMN COLD it is all day! The Earp Group turn around the corner, facing y'all. Now u slowly draw your pistol (all of them; Single-Action) but as Virg talks, telling y'all to "give up your firearms" before u leave town--u start to lower your pistol back into the holster, while slowly tryin' to lower the hammer (which u had already 'cocked'---being it is a 'Single-Action', being only to use your 'drawing hand, and u are shaking unable to overwide your fright & the coldness, u can't resist either of those, your thumb slips with the hammer stricking the rd in the chamber----BANG the fight is on! To this day, no expert in History has been able to determine who fired the '1st Shot'! Some claim it might have been Doc! But Doc had hiddden under his heavy long black coat a short barreled shotgun the Earp's had gotten from the Well's Fargo Company building..it wasn't a shotgun blast but a pistol shot..can't prove it BUT it does logically relate to a pistol, trying to be slowly lowered back into its holster but the thumb which might have been trying to lower the Hammer safely; slips..and the gun battle occurs..still sounding into human history...
Many reports say Big Nose Kate was in the boarding house where she & Doc were living. She was able to see the gunbattle (windows) but nonthing written by her has ever been produced. It also been written when the gunfight was over,, Doc came into their room weeping & saying something in the order,; "this wasn't suppose to happen; Oh God!"
I’m actually related to him something about his mother or grandmother, being my great great grandmother, or something but it’s pretty cool when you think about it
I believe Wyatt left Maddie because of her addiction to that medicine called laudanum she kept drinking constantly and said it was for headaches. 6 years later in 1888 she died from a heavy dose of laudanum. She drugged herself to death
“He allowed illegal drinking & prostitution, imposing fines so he could profit off the crimes.” .... Hahahaa... same thing happening today, nothing has changed with the law. SMH 🤦🏻♂️
I use to ride with Wyatt back in the day. Wyatt rode a chestnut palomino mare, and I rode a Honda super 90. Wyatt had an old rusted, bent barrell six shooter, and I carried a Glock 9mm, and a Smith and Wesson derringer in each boot. Wyatt wore a 10 gallon cowboy hat, and wore a Bass Pro Shop baseball cap in cammo color. Wyatt was a local small town deputy sheriff, and I was in both the FBI and CIA at the same time. Now, Wyatt as a ladies man, except he constantly had them little biting bugs on his sack. I don't mean nap sack either!
I scrolled down to see if anyone else who was around during the "Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp" TV show era would comment about it. It was just a few degrees beyond the Roy Rogers/Gene Autry nonsensical attire of pegged pants tucked into his boots and fancy fringed shirt. Hugh O'Brian Had the skin-tight pants worn inside his fancy boots (nothing to tuck!) and the same gray shirt every show, but none of it was as gaudy, thank goodness, as the "Singing Cowboys." The show told the story of Ned Buntline, the writer of "Dime Novels," who so embellished his stories that he may have got some men killed. The "Buntline Special," as shown, would've been impossible to bring into action with any speed, so as a teenager I wondered about it at the time. The funniest part was that actor Hugh O'Brian fancied himself a real "Fast-draw," challenging all the macho actors to a quick-draw contest. It later turned out that comic Jerry Lewis could beat him every time and O'Brian gave up the contest idea when Audie Murphy, winner of every medal available in WWII and a pretty good actor himself, said he'd meet the challenge---with loaded weapons. LOL
Makes sense! Simple physics. The time it would take for that long barrel to physically and clumsily travel out of that holster with any appreciable speed in comparison to a 4” or even a 6” barrel revolver would more than likely cost one their life in a gunfight.
Well, this certainly puts me in a western watching mode. Going to binge watch 6 hours of Lonesome Dove. If you want to do some interesting research, the movie was actually based on the lives of two real Texas Rangers. Have enjoyed reading your comments on Wyatt Earp
The first time I heard about this person was that my principal took me to my class and said what’s your name I said Wyatt and she was like oh so cool that’s Wyatt earps first name I was like wot?
The stories I read were different because Wyatt Earp was not the Marshall during the OK coral days, it was his brother Virgil, Virgil did most of the shooting and eventually he got ambushed several times and got shot up pretty bad the same with James got killed, Wyatt later I read retaliated and went after his brothers killer and Virgil's ambushers. Wyatt was never a marshal in tombstone?
In Stuart Lake's fanciful "biography," the period in Peoria, IL when Earp was a pimp or bouncer in whorehouses was covered up by Earp with claims that he spent that time buffalo hunting.
I just inherited my family registry yesterday.. Doc Holliday is my great great great great uncle. Wyatt Earp is my cousin. Looking their pictures. I have docs cheekbones and wyatt's chin lol it just amazed me
Mostly, they were just Town Ordinances, which usually specified location & business hours. Generally, so that upright citizens & children were not exposed to this stuff (the Red Light District).
Additionally, Virg was ambushed around Dec 1881 (after the Shootout @ the OK.Corral) just around the time The Birdcage opened. It isn't until March 1882 that Morgan is murdered A week or three later Wyatt & his "team" go on the Vendetta Ride
Sometimes we learn from one another's experiences..no gavel no force no fight..the upper class during the life arrived with a response of LOVE..Nicholas Collora youtube 8 scenes no patty cake intercepting my WORDS for you Americans
What do you think was the craziest part of his life?
HE FOOLED PEOPLE A LOT.HE WAS A ''PICES'',SO THEY THOUGHT HE WAS A MILD,LAID BACK MAN,WHO DID'ENT WANT ANY TROUBLE IN HIS LIFE.
That he was a referee at a prize fight ranks along side the fact that he had four "wives"
My best friend is his cousin
The craziest part of Wyatt earp's life was maybe when he, Doc Holiday, & that Texas jack dude..... Go after the cowboy Gang... Of the old wild west.. And eventually disbanding the gang... Henceforth making him a legend
.... He died 1922 ryt? 🤔
the fact that virgil was the one all the stories are based on

The Earps' & Holliday were PRECIEVED as "professional gunfighters". You & Clanton near the O. K. Corral hear the Earps & Holliday are heading to your location..maybe u start 'shaking' because earlier were all 'bad-mouthin'" the Earps/'Doc' & think they have heard about you 'bad-mouthing' them.
Then add to this how DAMN COLD it is all day!
The Earp Group turn around the corner, facing y'all. Now u slowly draw your pistol (all of them; Single-Action) but as Virg talks, telling y'all to "give up your firearms" before u leave town--u start to lower your pistol back into the holster, while slowly tryin' to lower the hammer (which u had already 'cocked'---being it is a 'Single-Action', being only to use your 'drawing hand, and u are shaking unable to overwide your fright & the coldness, u can't resist either of those, your thumb slips with the hammer stricking the rd in the chamber----BANG the fight is on!
To this day, no expert in History has been able to determine who fired the '1st Shot'!
Some claim it might have been Doc! But Doc had hiddden under his heavy long black coat a short barreled shotgun the Earp's had gotten from the Well's Fargo Company building..it wasn't a shotgun blast but a pistol shot..can't prove it BUT it does logically relate to a pistol, trying to be slowly lowered back into its holster but the thumb which might have been trying to lower the Hammer safely; slips..and the gun battle occurs..still sounding into human history...
Wyatt herb was a true American bad ass! Respect!!
Earp
I was always told that the famous shooting actually never happened at the O.K corral, and that the Earp's were the aggressors who started the fight.
Well it's been 131 years I guess they don't care anymore Haha
Daniel C The others were cattle rustlers & thieves anyway. They needed shootin'.
Wish they had video back then.it of been cool to hear an interview.
Many reports say Big Nose Kate was in the boarding house where she & Doc were living. She was able to see the gunbattle (windows) but nonthing written by her has ever been produced.
It also been written when the gunfight was over,, Doc came into their room weeping & saying something in the order,; "this wasn't suppose to happen; Oh God!"
As a former officer it's difficult to judge Wyatt by conventional legal or moral principles since many of them didn't exist in the Old West.
I cant think of any one else that has had more movies made about them
I’m actually related to him something about his mother or grandmother, being my great great grandmother, or something but it’s pretty cool when you think about it
The Earp that was shot in a bar was in Willcox Arizona
Correction to this account. Morgan was not older than Wyatt but younger by 3 years.
Whatever the truth is, one thing is for sure. Wyatt Earps life was far from boring. What we do know about him is very interesting.
Buntline is NOT TRUE!!!! He actually used a Smith and Wesson at the O.K CORRAL gunfight. And no holster
@@jessegilbert9568 true, but.....it's a popular belief, same gun that broke when he shot Curly Bill.....
Love that Sam Elliott. 🙂
@Eric Leslie I call him a pussy.
Zelda Williams I have crush on him 😍
@@deeroda1 don't hate step up your alpha male game, it's not to late.😂
@@mariaacevedo6485 Ikr. Yummy.😍
I would appreciate it if you called me Wyatt or Earp not both . All right then Wyatt.
I believe Wyatt left Maddie because of her addiction to that medicine called laudanum she kept drinking constantly and said it was for headaches. 6 years later in 1888 she died from a heavy dose of laudanum. She drugged herself to death
Was that another name for the opioid, codeine?
Was her nickname big nose?
@@alysiadriggers4966 no different woman . Big nose Kate, knew Doc Holiday
“He allowed illegal drinking & prostitution, imposing fines so he could profit off the crimes.”
.... Hahahaa... same thing happening today, nothing has changed with the law. SMH 🤦🏻♂️
Can you provide some evidence?
So you hate the police? Defund them too?!
Earp hometown is Monmouth IL (Warren County) .
I use to ride with Wyatt back in the day. Wyatt rode a chestnut palomino mare, and I rode a Honda super 90. Wyatt had an old rusted, bent barrell six shooter, and I carried a Glock 9mm, and a Smith and Wesson derringer in each boot. Wyatt wore a 10 gallon cowboy hat, and wore a Bass Pro Shop baseball cap in cammo color. Wyatt was a local small town deputy sheriff, and I was in both the FBI and CIA at the same time. Now, Wyatt as a ladies man, except he constantly had them little biting bugs on his sack. I don't mean nap sack either!
Quite a vivid imagination you have there! 😆
🤣
Quite a story
Who was Bulshar Clootie parallel to?
Wyaht Earp lo mejor de el viejo oeste , Si los diálogos fueran en español para entenderlos , Sus series serían estupendas
I scrolled down to see if anyone else who was around during the "Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp" TV show era would comment about it. It was just a few degrees beyond the Roy Rogers/Gene Autry nonsensical attire of pegged pants tucked into his boots and fancy fringed shirt. Hugh O'Brian Had the skin-tight pants worn inside his fancy boots (nothing to tuck!) and the same gray shirt every show, but none of it was as gaudy, thank goodness, as the "Singing Cowboys." The show told the story of Ned Buntline, the writer of "Dime Novels," who so embellished his stories that he may have got some men killed. The "Buntline Special," as shown, would've been impossible to bring into action with any speed, so as a teenager I wondered about it at the time. The funniest part was that actor Hugh O'Brian fancied himself a real "Fast-draw," challenging all the macho actors to a quick-draw contest. It later turned out that comic Jerry Lewis could beat him every time and O'Brian gave up the contest idea when Audie Murphy, winner of every medal available in WWII and a pretty good actor himself, said he'd meet the challenge---with loaded weapons. LOL
Makes sense! Simple physics. The time it would take for that long barrel to physically and clumsily travel out of that holster with any appreciable speed in comparison to a 4” or even a 6” barrel revolver would more than likely cost one their life in a gunfight.
If the thumbnail is the real Wyatt Earp, he looks more like Val Kilmer that Kurt Russell
“Later followed by the older brother Morgan and Doc Holliday” my guy Morgan was the youngest one in Tombstone
I now own a Airsoft Colt SAA with a 11" barrel (basically a Buntline)
I was named after Wyatt Earp, not joking
I just named my male cat Wyatt Earp. 😺
John Wayne always said he modeled his walk after Harry Carrey Sr., an actor he admired and never mentioned Earp.
Wayne only major star not to protray Wyatt Earp
Wyatt Earp was a Pima County Deputy Sheriff back then Tombstone was in Pima County.
Well, this certainly puts me in a western watching mode. Going to binge watch 6 hours of Lonesome Dove. If you want to do some interesting research, the movie was actually based on the lives of two real Texas Rangers. Have enjoyed reading your comments on Wyatt Earp
The first time I heard about this person was that my principal took me to my class and said what’s your name I said Wyatt and she was like oh so cool that’s Wyatt earps first name I was like wot?
What kind of music would be appropriate for a bio about Wyatt Earp?
How bout rock 🤪
That's really dumb
“Frankenstein” Edgar Winter
The stories I read were different because Wyatt Earp was not the Marshall during the OK coral days, it was his brother Virgil, Virgil did most of the shooting and eventually he got ambushed several times and got shot up pretty bad the same with James got killed, Wyatt later I read retaliated and went after his brothers killer and Virgil's ambushers. Wyatt was never a marshal in tombstone?
It was Morgan who got killed, not James! James didn’t die until 1926- he wasn’t involved in the gunfight at O.K. Corral!
The thumbnail looks like Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday.
Val Kimer wins this one!and i also love Kevin Costner!
When everyone carries guns
In an uncivilized time...
'The weak shall become strong and the strong shall become weak'.. The great Equalizer..
In Stuart Lake's fanciful "biography," the period in Peoria, IL when Earp was a pimp or bouncer in whorehouses was covered up by Earp with claims that he spent that time buffalo hunting.
Hollywood should remake this movie.... it's really good true story..
And will be warped.
I just inherited my family registry yesterday.. Doc Holliday is my great great great great uncle. Wyatt Earp is my cousin. Looking their pictures. I have docs cheekbones and wyatt's chin lol it just amazed me
Scott Reinhart riiiiight.... is
-Elizabeth Warren's high cheekbones? Could be related, or even native American.. Claim a share in a Tribal Casino's profits.. ;
2:50 Neither drinking nor prostitution were illegal.
DONT LET JUDGE,''ROY BEAN HEAR YOU SAY THAT,LOL
Mostly, they were just Town Ordinances, which usually specified location & business hours.
Generally, so that upright citizens & children were not exposed to this stuff (the Red Light District).
@@davidwevans4132 Yes, exactly.
Estamos en México x que no escuchamos comentarios en español o con subtítulos Gracias
and he also shot Geras in 1881
Another stupid fact, he was Blonde....all the Earp's were 6ft or taller in boots. After all it's not the War of 1812
What’s the war of 1812 have to do with anything here?
@@alan30189 height
@@alan30189 most assume men were 5'1 during the late 1880's and that's not true
Where did you get your sources. Seems as though you made up much of that piece
Morgan was actually their younger brother, not older.
Additionally, Virg was ambushed around Dec 1881 (after the Shootout @ the OK.Corral) just around the time The Birdcage opened. It isn't until March 1882 that Morgan is murdered
A week or three later Wyatt & his "team" go on the Vendetta Ride
Also fails to mention that the “cowboys” were a gang of cattle thieves, and murderers as well.
That is a name or a berp?
Sometimes we learn from one another's experiences..no gavel no force no fight..the upper class during the life arrived with a response of LOVE..Nicholas Collora youtube 8 scenes no patty cake intercepting my WORDS for you Americans
Did he actually drink coffee like in the Kevin Costner movie
The movie “My Darling Clementine” with Henry Fonda as Earp was also very good. 🔫
I can confidently say Morgan Arthur is based off Wyatt Earp
you missed out the buffalo hunting/skinning
Had the soul of a lion.
Always thought these guys were good looking like the movies. I was wrong.
