The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp (1955-1961) Hugh O’Brian’s TV series brought it into homes every week. The premiere episode of "The Life & Legend of Wyatt Earp," with Hugh O'Brian starring as the legendary Old West lawman. This episode first aired on September 6, 1955.
Writers love it because it’s a perfect 3-act story in 30 seconds. Clear sides, stakes, and that It’s the ultimate showdown: law vs outlaws, friends vs enemies, life and death in 30 seconds. It's the first Western television series written for adults, premiering just four days before GUNSMOKE on 6 Sept. 1955. The half-hour, black-and-white program aired for six seasons (229 episodes) on ABC from 1955 to 1961, and featured Hugh O'Brian in the title role. O'Brian was chosen for the role in part because of his supposedly physical resemblance to early photographs of the real Wyatt Earp. Although highly fictionalized, this TV series actually followed the chronological life of Wyatt Earp, with his moves through Kansas towns and on to Tombstone, Arizona Territory. It is unique among Westerns of the time in following a timeline throughout the entire series. This show, along with GUNSMOKE (1955) helped launch a great era of the TV Western. Westerns became so popular on TV that by the end of the 1950s, there would be as many as 40 Westerns in prime time! Come see the real thing at the O.K. Corral!

From 1955-1961, Hugh O’Brian strapped on the badge and brought Tombstone’s famous marshal into living rooms across America. The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp!
With that iconic theme song, the show made Earp a household name for a whole generation. It ran for 6 seasons, 229 episodes, and was one of the first “adult westerns” on TV.
No CGI, no shortcuts. Just black-and-white grit, frontier justice, and the story of how one lawman tried to tame the Wild West. This show helped further cement the wild west as one of the most romanticized settings in Hollywood. O’Brian carried an exaggerated 12-inch Buntline Special Earp was said to use. This wasn't the actual gun Wyatt used but it helped grow the fantasy of the American West.
The real Josephine Earp consulted on the show to keep Wyatt’s legacy straight.

Do you have any memories of this show?

The Woman Behind the Legend: Josephine Sarah Marcus Earp

Everyone knows Wyatt Earp Tombstone marshal, O.K. Corral gunslinger, Wild West icon. But not as many know the woman who stood by him for nearly 50 years?
Josephine "Sadie" Marcus was no frontier wallflower. She was a dancer, traveler, and sharp-witted partner who met Wyatt in Tombstone in 1881. From the Arizona Territory to Alaska gold rush camps to Hollywood, she was by his side through boomtowns, busts, and legend-making.

After Wyatt’s death in 1929, she guarded his legacy. Josephine worked with authors, pushed back on myths, and made sure the Wyatt Earp we remember wasn’t just a gunfighter but her husband.

She lived a true Wild West love story: scandal, adventure, loyalty, and grit. The photo made famous by claiming to be her is actually someone else from a completely different country and decade.

The original director of the movie Tombstone was Kevin Jarre, who had also written the script. It was a good enough script to attract a lot of talent, like Kurt Russell, Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn, etc. But it was Kevin Jarre's direction that caused trouble. Michael Biehn liked Kevin Jarre, but said as a director, he was "rigid". Kevin Jarre, was replaced by George P. Cosmatos due to his inability to handle the logistical challenges of the film and keep the production on schedule. While Jarre was a talented writer and had a strong vision for the film, his lack of directing experience led to him being overwhelmed by the demands of the production. The actors, particularly Kurt Russell, significantly influenced the direction of the film, and it is suggested that Russell played a key role in streamlining the script and focusing on the Earp-Holliday relationship.

Every final resting place has a story.

It was on June 19, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War. It was there that former slave, John Swain, worked for Texas John Slaughter, and then traveled with John to Southern Arizona. They ended up in Tombstone after a long journey. He worked for the Slaughter family until well into the 20th century, when he acquired land of his own and started a small ranch. Mr. Swain held the respect and affection of the community. Mr. Slaughter was sheriff of Tombstone for many years and John Swain was frequently used as one of his deputies in apprehending the “bad men” who attempted to terrorize the community. Many of those same men now lie under the rocky soil of Boot Hill, where Swain is taking his eternal rest. It is at his own request that his remains are buried in Boothill, near those whom he had known during the early days when he was one of the hardest riding cowboys in the region.

The last grave in Boothill cemetery. John Swain, ex-slave, lived in Tombstone in 1879, when the first grave was dug in Boot Hill. The grave filled on Feb. 15, 1945, is the last to go down in that spot. His death marks the end of the last consort of the roughest bunch of gunslingers who died with their boots on and whose reckless courage helped to give to the West its reputation of being the land “where men are men” His funeral was attended by the Mayor of Tombstone and other dignitaries, from nearby communities, including Col. E. N. Hardy, Post Commander, Fort Huachuca. The Post’s Military band played and very impressive rites were conducted with dignity and reverence.

John Clum became Tombstone’s first mayor elected under the new city charter of 1881.

He established a newspaper that would become famous as the oldest continuously running newspaper in Arizona, The Tombstone Epitaph. He helped organize the Tombstone Vigilance Committee to fight the prevailing lawlessness of the early 1880’s. There he became a lifelong friend of Wyatt Earp.

When the OK Corral gunfight took place, he was one of Wyatt's supporters. The Epitaph's coverage of the October 1881 gunfight at the O.K. Corral was one-sided. With three Cowboys dead and the Earp brothers walking tall, Clum concluded, "EARP BROTHERS JUSTIFIED." With references to "the best class of citizens," to "all good citizens," and to "the better portion of our citizens," Clum’s view of the matter was settled. Clum is mostly remembered today for publishing accounts of the most famous gunfight in Old West history and its bloody aftermath but Clum had already led quite a colorful life in the American West. He was equally proud of another accomplishment before his Tombstone days.

While serving as the agent for the San Carlos, Arizona, Indian Agency, he once crossed paths with Geronimo. In 1877, John Clum became the only man to ever capture Geronimo.
