The Truth About Wyatt Earp's Death

- Wyatt Earp has been romanticized by western films that focus on his role in the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral, but the real man had a more complicated reputation in his time. Earp actually lived long past the days of the Wild West and well into the Roaring Twenties, dying in 1929 at age 80. By that time, he had done a lot to hurt his legacy, including helping to rig a famous boxing match. However, the lawman still managed to live a full life, a privilege that many Wild West figures weren’t granted. Let’s take a look at the truth about Wyatt Earp’s death.

If you could travel back in time, when would you go?
2006, when I'm not yet married.
Definitely during the early western times ... as a great man once said
I was born in the wrong era, or something close
From quigely down under
Ancient Egypt and Rome
Also forgot add ancient Japan I forgot what it’s called but the one ppl .keep asking to be in next ac games
Ps all 3 them place some my favourite movies .are about them Ben hur (Charlton Heston ) gladiator
SevenSamurai, Troy (I know mixed options but I like it ) Troy fall of a city ( tv series) Cleopatra
Gbc Forever
Actually. That raises an interesting point!
Several biblical time periods. To verify things. I have my suspicions
Screw it. Let’s time travel to different times! While we’re (dreaming)!
Almost any time but the one we are in now. Life was better before everyone had a personal super computer in their pockets. I like modern tech & I don’t think I’d like much any older than the turn of the twentieth century but each decade has its own great things happening, a lot of bad 💩 too but looking back on all my family’s pictures while I was growing up, especially the ones before I was born, everyone always looked they were having the greatest time ever. Even old b&w family films from the ‘50s & ‘60s when my parents were kids, when they got together, their wedding, my older brother born and so on. But to see my Great Aunt Theresa growing up poor in Connecticut in ‘40s would really be something because she said “we never had any money as children and nothing went to waste, even the bath water was used by all four kids before it was tossed out. Times weren’t always great but we were loved and we were safe and that kept us together.” The huge Italian family I grew up in now has just a handful of us scattered around three or four states that sometimes call each other on holidays sometimes/maybe. I miss them all, I go back to than.
This is crazy that you posted it today cause I’ve gotten really into westerns stuff in the past 2 weeks good timing for a Wyatt Earp video
Whatever Earp might have been, think about
the marvelous things he saw...cars, electric lights,
motion pictures, WW1, and indoor plumbing.
John Thacker facts!!!
The the transition from telegram to telephones and being alive when the Titanic sunk.
...and also really good room service. 😂
But died from lack of levophed and IV antibiotics for his UTI.
He just missed the great depression from the stock market crash of the same year he passed. October 29, 1929.
The one thing I have taken away from Mr. Earp's story is that HE LIVED life to the fullest!! Don't think there are any true Angels from that time period!
Michael Ashcraft Ya, but maybe the angels were watching over him, as he never even got shot. Not even once!
If i travel back in time I would fight beside the famous lawman and Marshall Wyatt earp in tombstone Arizona 26 October 1881
Earp was no MARSHAL till after the alleged gunfight and his killing spree over pimp Morgan cost Wyatt his badge. He and Doc fled Arizona to avoid murder charges and were ordered NEVER to come back. Doc was in Colorado with Masterson and Wyatt when Ringo killed HIMSELF.
John Wayne met Wyatt and used his walk and mannerisms in his acting.
Wayne lied about that and so did John Ford.... There is no way Wyatt would have told the things Ford put in his movie and Wyatt was everything opposite of Wayne.... I think Wayne bragged about it because he may have served Wyatt coffee once....
They both did and said the opposite of everything Wyatt was trying to correct.... He wasn't treated as a celebrity and even Ford admitted he knew nothing about Wyatt before he met him on the set, if he met him at all.... Wyatt and Tom MIx hit it off and liked each other.... Mix paid respect the others did not....
Young John Wayne copied the mannerisms of veteran cowboy actor Harry Carey Sr, who became a mentor to the inexperienced youngster who was struggling to get into the business. In the 1920's, the elderly Wyatt Earp lived in Los Angeles, and visited Hollywood movie sets trying to get Hollywood interested in making a movie about his life. In 1920, Wyatt Earp was not a nationally known western hero, not having been the subject of the dime novels that had made Wild Bill Hickock, Buffalo Bill Cody, Billy the Kid, and Jesse James nationally famous. Earp did meet many of the actors and directors who would make the American West our national myth, but, at the time, he was unable to interest them into making a movie about his life. Earp is said to have a consultant to the making of the western movies, and he became good friends with Tom Mix and William S. Hart, two of the biggest silent movie western stars. In fact, it was William S. Hart who paid for the funeral of Josephine Earp in 1944, when she died in poverty. In 1929, Wyatt Earp gave interviews to writer Stuart Lake about his life, and Lake's book "Wyatt Earp-Frontier Marshall" gave Wyatt the national fame after his death that he never had during his lifetime. It is thought that Lake made up virtually everything in his book, having received little useful information from Wyatt's interviews. Stuart Lake was still alive in 1955 for the "Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp" starring Hugh O'Brien, on television, and Stuart Lake is listed on the tv show's credits as a consultant, with "Wyatt Earp-Frontier Marshall" as the basis for the show. Although the real Wyatt Earp may not have been the clean-cut wholesome character as played by Hugh O'Brien, it cannot be denied that he lived an extraordinary life. He was a lawman in Wichita and Dodge City in his mid-20's, in his early 30's he shot it out with outlaws in the famous western gunfight at the OK Corral, at the age of 50 Wyatt was in Alaska for the Klondike Gold Rush, and in his 70's was in Hollywood rubbing elbows with Tom Mix, William S. Hart, and not-yet-famous John Wayne.
@8 Ball ...Watt Earp was a self glorified sniveling coward who was afraid of his own citizens having guns. John Wayne may have been just an actor, but at least he wasn't afraid of guns. My Tiger Kungfu...is better than yours. I don't think you're good enough...to avenge your master.
wyatt's house in Tombstone is for sale right now....
@@phillipr6718 history is written by the victors. Good job interesting facts, thankyou.
Urinary tract infections and kidney problems were very common among men back then who spent so much time in the saddle.... I used to raise horses with my older brother Jim and we both suffered from them.... My Dad suffered from it and my great grandfather died from it also.... No shame in that at all,,,,
Bill oddly I've kidney uti problems but a severe horse allergy so don't ride or go anywhere near horses or people connected to horses! Is it the jiggle of riding causing kidney issues? What's the modern problem causing kidney uti issues?
@@oldfogey4679 the modern problem is sitting in chairs. Chairs and saddles both make a man sit down on his rear end for hours a day. Sedentary lifestyles. Even if only the bottom half.
@@One.DeSanctis. true sedentary lifestyles are health hazards! The elderly get a lot of utis wonder if this is due to a more sedentary lifestyle? However people like Earp even though they sat I'm saddles for long periods they also did more heavy labor then their contemporaries do yet Earp died from a combination of uti and liver problems!
my grandfather use to always watch western movies, being from australia, i always assumed as a child cowboys were a longtime ago & never understood why my grandfather always watched old movies about the “old” days ways before he was born in 1934. i didnt realise most of the cowboys generation lived until the 20s/30s.
The legend of Wyatt Earp was written by, Wyatt Earp; because he outlived those who could dispute his story!
Josie outlived him so did his brother’s wife
That's what life is all about. Out live the hay sayers.😊
Well, his life was an open book. He had a messed up life after her wife's death (That was before he became a lawman). I would still prepare to remember the legacy of the man upholding the law rather than tackling his urinary infections. People can create lots of conclusions on the life of a man who died 91 years ago but one should also remember that today's generation can never testify to what really happened back then. I am no American but I respect Mr. Wyatt Earp for the good things he did for the safety of his community. It's his job, his oath, his responsibility. And to the many shooting incidents that he encountered, he overcomes all of them and lived up to his older years. God must have protected him. And for us, we can only do two things about it, either respect the guy and remember his good legacy or do thorough research about the stupid things he did or illnesses, viruses or diseases he must have had and make fun of it. Either way, it will never erase the fact that he is WYATT EARP, the legendary frontiersman of the American West, who was a lawman, gunslinger, and confidence man who sought to uphold the law, and we are nothing but a bunch of critics wannabe who wants to make a big name by ruining other's reputation... sort of crabs.
More of a Kurt Russell fan. Great video!
gary Aa I though Russel's movie was far better than Costner's...my opinion.
I agree
If Wyatt Earp wanted to throw the Sharkey-Fitzsimmons fight, he wouldn't have waited until the 6th round. Anything could have happened during the first five rounds.
Wyatt had already warned Fitzsimmons once following a hit below Sharkey's belt, and he told him if it happened again, he'd call the fight. It happened again, and Wyatt did indeed call the fight for Sharkey.
But Wyatt had no money on the fight, and had just been chosen to referee that very afternoon.
Here's a nifty idea for a UTI - whole cranberry fruit - it even works in capsule form!
I would've loved to be a fly on the wall when Wyatt and Tom Mix got together..
Actual people are more interesting than their legends.
So are you saying Wyatt was basically a scroundel elevated to legend status by Hollywood?
@Itayi Chieza Wyatt Earp was an opportunist. He drifted from one money raising scheme to another his whole life. His bid for Cochise County Sheriff was riddled schemes and back room dealings. He wasn’t above making a pact with Ike Clanton to betray some wanted men to secure his election. That’s why Clanton freaked out the day of O.K. Corral gunfight. He was scared to death that Wyatt Earp would out him. He was never elected sheriff like so many other failed attempts to make a quick buck. Wyatt Earp basically died in obscurity. It was only because of the movies we know anything about him. And we all know how Hollywood treats history.
Daniel Scuiry ....thanx for that explanation.
@@danielscuiry2847 still a legend
@Eric B I wouldn’t say he was a scoundrel but he was like many people who were comfortable playing both sides of the moral and legal boundaries of his day.
We often invent our legends to suit our inner longings. Wyatt Earp became a symbol (and I’m borrowing from “The American Experience”) of the town taming marshal, representing our feelings against vast impersonal forces shaping our destinies.” But we have Hollywood’s Western films and TV shows to thank for that image.
That photograph of the 21 year old Earp is so cool.
This one was a disappointment. I would like to know more about him. More facts please from a fan in Sweden
The narrator is taking plenty of liberties with this video. Reminds of of some of the crap that was written about Elliot Ness.
Wyatt Earp’s notoriety was also boosted in the early 1900’s by his friend ,turned New York newspaper columnist William “Bat” Masterson.
C'mon now, leave Bette White outta this!
Taught John Whayne!!
I’m actually related to Wyatt Earp. He’s always fascinated me.
Me too cousin.
I didn’t know he was accused of fixing multiple boxing matches, just the one with Fitzsimmons. 🥊
Maybe they gossiped a lot in those days when you think about it in evenings after supper little to do those that could read did hard to say what they did
VERRY INTERESTING, he wasn't a choir Boy . BOXING HAS ALWAYS BEEN SHADY.
@@miketerry581 That’s interesting. I never thought of it that way but you’re right. For Wyatt to risk that in a high stakes championship match would be the essence of stupid in my opinion unless he was paid off a huge sum. 🤔
Maybe was not good nor perfect but he was not bad through and through times were hard back then .
Served in the navy with a guy named Jean Earp who claimed to be of that Earp family.
I served in the navy with a guy whose last name was Boothe and said he is related to John Wilkes
@@usssanjacinto1 .... the more I’ve learned of the Earp family the more inclined I am to believe him. Also knew a Lt Custer USN who told me he was related to that Custer
Im making my appointment 20 years in advance just to be the rush to the urologist!!!! Lolol
He was old.......
Anyone else play the degrees game with themselves like the 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon? I drove Kiefer Sutherland once so... me to Kiefer, Kiefer to his dad Donald, Donald to Jason Robards in
Max Dugan Returns, Jason Robards to his dad Jason Robards sr., Jason Robards sr to Tom Mix in The Miracle Rider, Tom Mix pallbearer for Wyatt Earp.
The only things change is the people telling the story. Everything is being rewrote even the bible how did that turn out.
Would like to have met him to find out if I'm related to him
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fun fact: im named after wyatt earp
My son to ;)
Wyatt Earp was my 22nd Cousin once removed
Interesting, I just learned from my grandfather that his great grandmother used to say that we were related to Wyatt Earp. Who knows.. we could be related distantly lol
Wow... SOMEBODY is jealous....
Wyatt Earp died with a quiet burp...
Kurt Russel will probably always be my favorite Wyatt Earp but Kevin Costner is a strong second. Yee🤠 Hah!
Hugh O'Brien will always be number one but Kurt Russell is a strong number two.
Kurt Russel came the closest to the historical descriptions of Wyatt Earp in both appearance and conduct.
he died at 4004 W 17th St Los Angeles Calif
there's a school there now
You left out "--gambling house and brothel _owner."_
Oldenweery
He was a straight gangster.
The family knew exactly what they were doing by getting an Earp hired as peacekeeper, then others show up to be police as well as running gambling, whores and any side hustles as well.
This is how most men with their skill sets survived, but Earp gets this mythos that others don’t because his “good guy” portrayal influenced Hollywood so much.
Wow.
Stop calling people by their last names. Call them by their first names.
Greg Hawkins Have you been appointed "Name Police Officer?" Haha
In proper composition, using a person's first name is used when the writer has personal relationship with the subject. Examples would be your family or close friends. When you don't personally know the person you use their last name. An exception to that rule is if you are talking about multiple people with the same last name then you would use the first names to differentiate.
You forgot Josephine Marcus!
What was the movie at 0:40 please respond

Even today, UTI's can develop into urosepsis, a condition that has a 30%-40% mortality rate. I know. It happened to me about two years ago.
How long were you with the infection before it got to that severity?
@@robertgrissom5760 Not long. Got on a plane to Mexico feeling fine. Got off with a fever of 104.
@@ihbarddx Wow, glad you recovered from that
