The Earp Gamble — Phyllis de La Garza

The women involved with the Earps and Doc Holliday gambled everything on their men-their lives, fortunes, and happiness. From their perspective, Phyllis de la Garza has stripped away the varnish that layers the Earp myth. She exposes a reality of gamblers and killers out to control Cochise County and in doing so replaces romanticized legend with real people. In novel form de la Garza offers a major reappraisal of the most enduring Legends of the Old West.
