The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp1955

Narrator:
In Marshal Wyatt Earp's long struggle to tame Wichita, there were two points of controversy which historians of the Western frontier have argued since 1875. Was Marshal Earp justified in using famous city ordinance 27 to close crooked gambling joints and rowdy dancehalls? And why did he permit Ben Thompson, a notorious gunfighter and killer to operate a gambling game in Wichita while Marshal Earp's stormy cleanup campaign was racing to a murderous pitch of tensions and hatreds?
