    Earp was born with sand and died with sand. He fought the good fight and he has nothing to apologize for.

    Fascinating documentary and very well done. I'm Australian and we don't have anything like America's Western legend. Few reasons for that:- We didn't have a vast interior that was inviting for large numbers of people to go there (ours is all desert), and also a different sense of national identity. No idea of "manifest destiny" as Americans do. And it was pretty much impossible for anyone to slip from one side of the law to the other, as Wyatt Earp did.

      Mate, how long have you been a Aussie? Ha, where do you live in Australia? Did you do history at school? What are you talking about? We’ve got BUSHRANGERS! Ned Kelly and the Kelly Gang, Ben Hall, Captain Moonlight, Mad Dog Morgan…. Hmmmm mate there is quite a few. Sadly we don’t froth as hard on our history as we do on America’s, it actually sh!ts me off to be honest. I’m taken my kids to many of the places of BUSHRANGER lore, Glenrowen, lightning bolts “ Marbles” and a few others. We need to educate our people on our history, the sh!t that went down here was epic! It’s just not as celebrated or as many movies or documentaries etc. have pride in our stories too mate, share them around, I’ve told many Americans about our Outlaws, the Bushrangers, they can’t believe it when they go down the rabbit hole on them, our legends are just as epic as theirs. Don’t lose that mate. Cheers from a descendent of a Bushranger. 😉

    Wyatt was a man of courage, intense internal fortitude, was ambitious, but fiercely loyal to his family, who sought recognition and acceptance to the upper elite circles, sought fame and fortune in the only way and means he knew was available to him as a gambler and a no nonsense lawman, living in the western frontier era of the old west that reflected the lawlessness on both sides of the law, all that it wanted to become, a man of his times but also where the times needed such a man.
    The kind of man Wyatt was is rare then, let alone nearly non-existent today. Needless to say, Wyatt was a one in a million man that lived by own code of honor and morals, who once he made his decision, it was in stone.
    This is why men who look at Wyatt wish they were even a fraction of the man Wyatt was which of course without the gunfights, but with Wyatt's intense character and fortitude, which most assuredly would carry them through any troubles life threw at them throughout their lives, myself esp included.
    The one man of the time and most reputable lawman of the era attests to this fact - US Marshal Bat Masterson

    It´s so funny how so many consider Wyatt Earp, his brothers and "Doc" Holliday as heroes still in our days. Wyatt was a pimp, stagecoach robber, horse thief and I am sure he was a card cheater too. Holliday was a grave alcoholic and an insane murderer. The Earps wanted gun control and that only the law men should carry guns. This is the only positive thing of the Earps. It seems that the gun nuts don´t really know this fact. Wyatt lied to director John Ford about his life and Ford believed in all of Wyatts lies. Wyatt is still considered as a hero, but he was actually a real piece of sh*it!
