Title: Better Than You Might Expect
Review: I have a small library of Wyatt Earp books and Lake's book is always maligned by other Earp historians. No other book, however, seems to give us as much insight into Earp as Lake's. Sure, the facts are exaggerated and, in several instances, created out of whole cloth but more factual books also contain significant mistruths without ever giving us a feel for the man. Tefertiller's "Wyatt Earp" is indoubtedly better history but it isn't a better read. If you can only read one book about Earp, this may be the best one to read.
