Marshal Wyatt Earp faced the hatred and gunfire of many men in the towns of Wichita, Dodge City and Tombstone . . . but none hated him more than did the Ten Percent Ring. They could neither buy him nor drive him out of Arizona by force . . .

The famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral had its inception in the hold-up of a Sandy Bob Line Stage. After the death of Old Man Clanton, Marshal Earp thought he say a chance to split Clanton's outfit by tricking the outlaws into gunning each other down. Wyatt knew that if this failed there would have to be a fight to the finish between the John Law's of Tombstone and the Clanton outlaws.
The long struggle for law and order in Arizona, which exploded in thirty seconds of deadly gunfire at the O.K. Corral, placed Wyatt Earp among the great Marshals of the Western Frontier. But that famous gunfight has been a matter of controversy ever since 1881. Witnesses from the outlaw element contradicted one another on so many vital points that no reputable historian has taken their version seriously. Marshal Wyatt Earp's story of the fight was told under oath and transcribed verbatim. This is Wyatt's testimony of what happened that bloody day in Tombstone . . .
