The name of Wyatt Earp ranks as high in the history of the Old West as the names of Davy Cockett, Wild Bill Hickok, and Buffalo Bill Cody, for Wyatt Earp was possibly the greatest gunfighter the Old West ever knew. Yet the tall, quiet man with the strinkingly pale blue eyes, ruled Dodge City, Wichita, and other wild cow towns, only by fear of the unpressed trigger. He was the first frontier peace officer who believed that peace could be enforced without bloodshed, and only once did he shoot to kill. When he was foreced by the sheriff of Tombstone Aizona, to fight or run away, he chose to fight; and the battle of the O. K. Corral in October 1881 , showed how he and his brohers fought in a showdown.
