Wyatt Earp in San Diego: Life After Tombstone
The time Wyatt Earp spent in San Diego has long been a source of some mystery and much misinformation. Garner Palenske has finally connected the dots and filled in the blanks on an essential period in Wyatt's long life. His days in San Diego illustrate the everyday man who was Wyatt Earp. Palenske paints not only a fascinating portrait of a man living in boom times, but brings to life a slice of San Diego in the late nineteenth century. --Gary E. Mitrovich - San Diego HistorianWyatt Earp's history in Arizona, Kansas and Missouri has been well documented; not so the time he spent in San Diego. Now Garner Palenske appears on the Earp historical scene. Garner, who is a resident of San Diego, has devoted over four years to gather all the information available about Wyatt Earp's life and work in San Diego. This book you are about to read is the result of serious research of primary sources, which has made it possible for the author to tell the factual story of Wyatt's time in San Diego while revealing many incidents heretofore totally unknown. Any library or collection on Earp history will not be complete unless it contains Wyatt Earp in San Diego: Life After Tombstone. --Ben T. Traywick, author and Tombstone Town Historian
