   Hello to all,   
   I am currently reading Wyatt Earp, The Life Behind The Legend By Casey   
   Tefertiller.   
   On the acknowledgments page he gives much credit  to Jeff Morey the   
   Historical Consultant   
   on the movie Tombstone and I can't help noticing that while the time   
   line is very different many of the events in the book are described much   
   as they were portrayed in the movie. Also while the book claims it is   
   not, it seems  a bit   
   biased in Mr. Earps favor,often giving him the benefit of the doubt when   
   it come to some of his less savory adventures. My question being,how   
   well does this books motives and history stand up?  I would appreciate   
   any thoughts or comments.   
      
   Your Humble Servant,
