Book details
Summary
Description
Historian Garner A. Palenske explores the adventures of the post-Tombstone Wyatt Earp, a man haunted by his violent past who focuses on making money, not law enforcement. Four years after the killings in Arizona, Earp and his wife moved to San Diego, California, a wide-open town with unlimited opportunities. The Earps were not alone; many of the sporting crowd from tombstone also traveled to San Diego to continue their boom-town ways. Wyatt and his tombstone allies controlled the gambling operations in San Diego through alliances with high-ranking city officials. Although no longer a lawman, Earp was still the quintessential frontier alpha male, ready to use violence when needed. Fortunately, while in San Diego it was of the non-deadly variety. In Wyatt Earp in San Diego: Life after Tombstone, Palenske tells the real story of Wyatt Earp's time in San Diego. It is a story that has never been told before.
