| Publisher Description: After the smoke cleared from the street fight on October the twenty-sixth, the Earps and Doc Holliday spent the days following with targets on their backs. Cowboy retribution was in the works because it had to be; a man first and foremost had to defend his honor and the way that the McLaurys and Billy Clanton had been cut down in the middle of the street couldn't be left unanswered. If Doc Holliday and Wyatt, Virgil and Morgan Earp had been wise, they would've left Tombstone as soon as their murder trial was dismissed. But leaving would've looked too much like running, and Wyatt wanted no part of that.So ambushes started becoming commonplace, first with Virgil being gunned down in the middle of Allen Street and then Morgan getting shot through the back while playing pool. When Morgan died, so did Wyatt's restraint; he renounced the deputy United States marshal appointment he'd been given and rode after those responsible for maiming and killing his brothers. His intention wasn't to arrest anyone, but to kill each man on the spot.B.A. Braxton follows Wyatt Earp's exploits from the moment the hearing to determine his culpability in the deaths of the McLaurys and Billy Clanton was over until the last man hunted down on his vendetta ride falls. Find out who rode with Wyatt and how the men they were after died as a result of Wyatt's making himself judge, jury and executioner. Did Wyatt and the others kill the right men? Perhaps we'll never know for sure. You be the judge. |
