Three of the Clanton gang were killed, while Ike and another wounded member escaped. Both Morgan and Virgil were wounded, and Virgil was later terminated as marshal for his role in the homicides. In March Morgan Earp photo right was gunned down by unknown assassins.
Wyatt, along with his brother Warren and some friends, embarked on a vendetta during which all four suspects were eventually killed. After being accused of these murders, Wyatt and Josie fled Arizona to Colorado.
Then made the rounds of western mining camps over the next few years. Thereafter, Wyatt took up prospecting in earnest, staking claims just outside Death Valley and elsewhere in the Mojave Desert. In he discovered several veins that contained gold and copper near Vidal, California on the Colorado River and filed numerous claims there at the base of the Whipple Mountains. Wyatt spent the winters of his final years working these claims in the Mojave Desert and living with Josie in their Vidal cottage.
He and Josie summered in Los Angeles, where they befriended early Hollywood actors and lived off real estate and mining investments. On Jan. Cowboy actors Tom Mix and William S. Hart were among his pallbearers. In , Earp returned to the fold of his family, who had made a home in Lamar, Missouri. A new, more settled life seemed to await Earp. After his father resigned as constable of the township, Earp replaced him. By , he had married Urilla Sutherland, the daughter of the local hotel owner, built a house in town and was an expecting father.
But then, everything changed. Within a year of their marriage, Urilla contracted typhus and died, along with her unborn child.
Broken and devastated by his wife's death, Earp left Lamar and set off on a new life devoid of any kind of grounding. In Arkansas, he was arrested for stealing a horse but managed to avoid punishment by escaping from his jail cell. For the next several years, Earp roamed the frontier, making his home in saloons and brothels, working as a strongman and befriending several different prostitutes.
In , he moved to Wichita, Kansas, where his brother Virgil had opened a new brothel that catered to the cowboys coming off their long cattle drives. There, he also began working with a part-time police officer on rounding up criminals. The adventure and the little bit of press Earp received from the job appealed to him, and eventually, he was made city marshal of Dodge City, Kansas. But while he had reinvented himself as a lawman, the speculative spirit that had driven his father ran in Earp as well.
In December , Earp joined his brothers Virgil and Morgan in Tombstone, Arizona, a booming frontier town that had only recently been erected when a speculator discovered the land there contained vast amounts of silver. His good friend Doc Holliday , whom he'd met in Kansas, joined him. Rated PG for strong gunfights, some language and sensuality.
Did you know Edit. Trivia The real Wyatt Earp 's 6-shooter was loaned by the Earp museum and used in some scenes during a number of close-ups. Goofs Wyatt wears a so-called Hollywood style pistol belt, which keeps the holster permanently positioned at his right side.
Such holsters were not used in the Old West; they are a product of the movie industry. Actual gun belts of the period slipped through a loop on the back of the holster, which allowed the holster to be positioned anywhere along the belt's length. This correct type is worn by most of the film's other characters.

Both of these movies are about the same time, came out the same time, are about the same guys. And I enjoyed both of them. But Wyatt Erp can be tough to sit through.
