THE EARP CURSE by Glenn G. Boyer Rodeo, N.M.: Historical Research Associates, Inc., 1999. First edition, first printing, Trade paperback issue. SIGNED by the author to the title page. Enhanced with a frontispiece photo of the author, and with a bounty of photographed letters and documents. Boyer, western historian and Earp scholar, uncovered an incredible amount, in the way of new facts regarding Wyatt Earp that he used in his numerous published books on the subject. His writings have been a major source for all other 'new' publications about Earp, and for numerous major films. In recent years, many authors have tried to discredit Boyer as a writer, but have failed to discredit his information. THE EARP CURSE is a passionate attempt to redress the balance and set the record straight with back-ups of originally discovered sources, documents, facts, figures, letters, names, and dates. Boyers works entirely altered the public perception of Wyatt Earp, and many of his associates, and also introduced in great detail the actual identities of many who formerly had been only names in the Earp Saga, such as Wyatt's widow herself, Big Nose Kate, Doc Holliday's Gal, Morgan Earp's wife Louisa, and even venal sheriff Johnny Behan (Earps archenemy at Tombstone) about whom little had been known formerly, and preeminently Wyatts second wife, Mattie. This is an important western outlaw history, rich with detailed information. Tight Clean! Fine, as new, in stiff-card wraps: cream covers with patterned light-green background letters, titles in red, blurbs in black to the front cover and with red titles to the spine. Octavo; 219 pages; introduction. FREE SHIPPING TO THE USA PLEASE VIEW OUR STORE FOR MORE GREAT SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKS THANKS!
