In The 1920s, Legendary Ex-lawman Wyatt Earp Was Photographed At His Desert Camp Near The Happy Days

In the 1920s, legendary ex-lawman Wyatt Earp was photographed at his desert camp near the Happy Days gold mine, just across the river from Parker, Arizona.

By this time, Earp had retired from his storied life as a lawman and gunfighter—best known for the infamous shootout at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona. This image captures a quieter, more reflective chapter in the life of a man who had become a larger-than-life figure in American history.
