Synopsis :

Wyatt Earp spent his entire youth surrounded by lawyers and that's why he pursued a law degree. One day, the love of his life, Urilla, dies and this news completely devastates him. He then left to settle in Dodge City, where he became the sheriff and surrounded himself with his brothers to make the law reign. With his experience and his reputation as a maverick, Wyatt Earp is feared throughout the West, except by the Canton clan, his sworn enemy.

 

Wyatt was never wounded in any of the gunfights, unlike his brothers Virgil and Morgan or Doc Holliday, which added to his mystique after his death. After leaving Tombstone, Earp went to San Francisco where he reunited with Josephine Marcus, and they lived as husband and wife.

 

Wyatt Earp a passé toute sa jeunesse entouré d'avocats et c'est pourquoi il a poursuivi des études en droit. Un jour, l'amour de sa vie, Urilla, meurt et cette nouvelle le dévaste complètement. Il part ensuite s'installer à Dodge City, où il devient shérif et s'entoure de ses frères pour faire régner la loi. Fort de son expérience et de sa réputation de non-conformiste, Wyatt Earp est craint dans tout l'Ouest, sauf par le clan Canton, son ennemi juré.

 

Wyatt n'a jamais été blessé dans aucune des fusillades, contrairement à ses frères Virgil et Morgan ou Doc Holliday, ce qui a ajouté à son mystère après sa mort. Après avoir quitté Tombstone, Earp s'est rendu à San Francisco où il a retrouvé Josephine Marcus, et ils ont vécu comme mari et femme.
