   Jane Candia Coleman has just published a   
   fictionalized version of the unpublished memoirs of   
   Alvira (Allie) Sullivan Earp, wife of Virgil.   
      
   Tombstone Travesty, Allie Earp Remembers   
   2004, Five Star Press, Waterville, MA   
      
   Does anyone know the details of how Virgil   
   came to have his right arm nearly shot off   
   at the elbow?  It happened *after* the famous   
   OK Corral incident. It's not clear in the   
   book what the actual circustances were that   
   caused Virgil to lose the use of his left   
   arm for the rest of his life. The book does   
   mention that Wyatt went after two of the   
   Clantons and Curly Bill for the shooting, but   
   no details about how it happened.
