Louisa Earp

Though we said Wyatt Earp had four wives, his brother, Morgan, only had one; Louisa. She was known around Tombstone as “Lou,” and she was known for her great beauty and cunning intelligence. She and Morgan lived together in Tombstone until he started to get threatened following the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. He sent his beautiful wife to live with his parents until things settled down. She went, and while there, Morgan was assassinated.

Fortune Telling in the Wild West

People from the East scrambled to the Wild West in search of treasure and a better life. So, it should be no surprise that fortune tellers were popular in the towns that dotted the prairies and mountains. Superstition was commonplace in the Wild West, and it was not unusual to see a fortune teller ready to read tarot cards or a salesman with a wagon full of potions and tonics promising to do everything from make one taller to making you lucky enough to strike it rich with gold.
