Wyatt Earp, on the other hand, was a lawman with a reputation for being fearless and fair. He's the guy who took down the Clanton gang at the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and his name became synonymous with bravery and justice. But did he write a book about his adventures with Doc Holliday? Well, that's where things get interesting.
It turns out that Wyatt Earp did, in fact, write a memoir of sorts, but it wasn't exactly a bestselling novel. The manuscript, which is now housed at the University of Arizona, is more like a collection of notes and stories about his time in the Wild West. And, yes, Doc Holliday is featured prominently throughout.
But here's the thing: the manuscript was never actually published during Wyatt Earp's lifetime. It wasn't until many years later, when the Western fiction genre was all the rage, that the manuscript was discovered and edited into a book. And that, my friends, is where the controversy begins.
