Casey has written by far the best, most authentic, most readable book on the life of Wyatt Earp. The book is also the most balanced,indulging in neither hero worship nor slander. You will also be introduced to the many fascinating people that Wyatt meet during his life time.

A thorough picture of a complicated person. The story gets bogged down in details at times, but most often you really appreciate the care and detail that illuminate complex events, like the famous shootout, and explain the troubled times.

The ending lines sum up the story well...he was not a good man, but a moral one.
