The Long Road to Legend

<P>In his young adult years Wyatt Earp was many things—farmer wagon train hunter freight hauler stage driver railroad wrangler husband constable wood splitter accused horse thief brothel bouncer buffalo hunter gambler and lawman—most of this in the "new" and raw land of America's untapped West. The possibilities seemed endless for Wyatt but history remembers him as a peace officer a role he never wanted but that fate forced upon him. He was that good at it. His name will always be spoken anytime that a conversation arises about justice vs. law and order . . . and how those American commodities do not always balance on the scales of a courtroom bench.</P><P></P>
