In the years following the Civil War an unsophisticated Iowa farm boy feels the inner fire of ambition but struggles to find a direction that matches his rough-hewn temperament. Because of his physicality, confidence, and a willingness to exercise deliberate courage, he will eventually find his place at the margin of respectability and be admired by his peers. But first he has some tough dues to pay. His name is Wyatt Earp.
In his young adult years Earp was many things-farmer, wagon train hunter, freight hauler, stage driver, railroad wrangler, husband, constable, wood splitter, accused horse thief, brothel bouncer, buffalo hunter, gambler, and lawman-most of this in the "new" and raw land of America's untapped West. The possibilities seemed endless for Wyatt, but history remembers him as a peace officer, a role he never wanted but that fate forced upon him. He was that good at it. His name will always be spoken anytime that a conversation arises about justice vs. law and order . . . and how those American commodities do not always balance on the scales of a courtroom bench.

It is plain Mark Warren knows Wyatt Earp's story in ways that few others do. In the restless ramblings of the young Wyatt, Warren found clues to the man Earp would be . . . now, I have much to ponder as a result of reading [The Long Road to Legend]. -- Gary Roberts, author of Doc Holliday, the Life and Legend Warren stays close to history [in] this wonderfully written work. Historical fiction can be a delight, and Warren delivers. -- Casey Tefertiller, author of Wyatt Earp, the Life Behind the Legend Mark Warren is the first writer to illuminate the Earp story from the inside. -- Allen Barra, author of Inventing Wyatt Earp, his Life and Many LegendsMore details
