Summary: The Real Wyatt Earp
Comment: Steve Gatto's "The Real Wyatt Earp" is a must read for anyone interested in Wyatt Earp. Newspaper items and court documents are often quoted in the text. Making this book a great source of information on this Old West character. Unlike most authors with books on Wyatt Earp, Gatto has no problem at all challenging Wyatt's veracity concerning some of the claims he made. This upsets some die hard Earp fans a great deal. Not because Gatto's statements and theories are provably false, but, instead, because they fear they might be correct. Steve Gatto's "The Real Wyatt Earp" presents the lawman is a much different manner than other Earps books, and that is the precise reason why his book is a must read for anyone interested in Wyatt Earp.

Summary: An interested reader!
Comment: The story of Wyatt Earp is both controversial and interesting. Many books are available that discuss Earp's role in history but few provide good documentation for the comments contained within them. Steve Gatto's book, "Real Wyatt Earp," is filled with many of the newspaper articles and documents that were created at the time events occurred in Earp's life. Thus, giving the reader a glimpse of what the people of Wyatt's time thought about him and how his actions were recorded in the newspapers when they occurred. I enjoyed the book very much and highly recommend it to others that are interested in Wyatt Earp. However, I should note that the author is very critical of Wyatt Earp's actions and claims. But, perhaps, that is a good thing!

Summary: Three Strikes against this book
Comment: 1-It is BORING. Great bedtime reading. It will put you to sleep.
2-Using selective evidence,it is heavily biased against the Earps
3-Title is a misnomer; there is no documentation to speak of and
nothing new which would justify this books' existence. Author
is a well-know Earpophile and does not present a fair, unbiased
approach to Wyatt Earp, The O. K. corral Shootout or other
events. Thanks to the editor, gone are the mis-spellings and
tortured syntax but author's earlier book on WYATT EARP is
preferable to this revisionist version. 25 years to life!
