Wyatt Earp

Before Dodge City and Tombstone, Wyatt Earp spent his first years as a lawman in Missouri. Many aren't aware that his first wife is buried in a small cemetery in Milford, Missouri.

Exactly 140 years ago today, a showdown at the O.K. Corral cast the location into wild west legend. But, the circumstances leading to that day really began in the tri-state area as there are many connections between the men that were involved in the shootout that happened that day.

I have no doubt that you know about wild west legend Wyatt Earp, but did you know that he got his start as a lawman in Missouri? It's true including an interesting twist involving Harry S. Truman.
