In 1881, a 30-second gunfight in Tombstone, Arizona made Wyatt Earp a legend of the Wild West. 

Earp was a gambler, a lawman, a fugitive, and later a showman who told his own legend for cash. 

So who fired first at the OK Corral, and how did Hollywood turn a frontier opportunist into a symbol of American justice? 

• The gunfight at the OK Corral in Tombstone
• Background on the Wild West and fast-growing frontier towns
• Wyatt Earp was hunter, driver, gambler, brothel keeper
• The Cowboys held power and feuded with the Earps
• Conflicting accounts of who fired first and surrender attempts
• Trial cleared the Earps but the town stayed divided
• Attacks on Virgil and Morgan, then Wyatt Earp took revenge

• Boxing scandal damaged his name across the country
• Hollywood and a book remade him as a hero
