Wyatt Earp died quietly in his rented home in LA, Ca., of chronic cystitis at age 80.

Interesting, I did not know when exactly he died.
Surprising, I didn’t know he was around that long.
Silly looking hat too, but I’d not have said that to him!
His good friend Doc Holiday only lived to 36
one of the legends I will guess a lot of truth and a lot of stories added on too over his life , sorta a gray area he worked in when it came to the law . regardless he is etched in our history especially to all us old fellows LOL
He lived long enough to meet and talk to several of the actors of that time. John Wayne was one of them.
Wyatt Earp, Wyatt Earp,
Brave courageous and bold.
Long live his fame and long live his glory
and long may his story be told.
That can't be Wyatt Earp, Earp looks just like Kurt Russell
A bad way to go.
Wyatt, on his way to checkout the Klondike Goldfields stopped at the Red Dog Saloon in Juneau, AK for a few.
He checked his gun at the marshall's office and didn't claim it before he left. (I suspect he had another).
I would like to hear Wyatt's story about that. Apparently, his boat left before the marshall's office opened.
They have the revolver on display in the Red Dog.
I offered to trade them my Glock for it but they weren't interested.
Yeah! Think Tom Hanks in that movie the Green Mile. Pure agony just to go pee!
