Wyatt Earp

You have certainly heard of Wyatt Earp, and here’s what he looked like in the flesh. Earp was part of a fairly well-known family, and he was known for being a lawman and gambler, and he was, of course, part of the famed O.K. Corral gunfight along with his brothers, Virgil and Morgan, and Doc Holiday. Wyatt Earp was married four times, and he lived to the ripe old age of 80. Earp died at home after being sick with a bladder infection.

Morgan Earp

Morgan Earp was Wyatt’s younger brother and fellow lawmen. He was also part of the famed Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, but unlike his brother, Morgan’s life was cut short soon after. Two months following the gunfight, there was an assignation attempt in retaliation on Morgan, which permanently disabled his arm. Three months after that, he was assassinated while playing billiards while his brother, Wyatt, watched. Morgan was only 30 years old.
