Wyatt Earp

Intro Wyatt Earp (1848-1929) was an American Old West lawman and gambler, best known for his role in the gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. Standing around 6 feet tall, he was a tall, imposing figure with a rugged, square-jawed face, often depicted with a thick mustache. Earp typically wore a long coat and a wide-brimmed hat, the typical attire of lawmen in the Old West. He carried a Colt revolver and was known for his calm demeanor and quick draw. Earp was a complex figure: a lawman who also had a reputation for bending the law when it suited him, making him both a hero and an antihero in the eyes of history.
