The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp1955

Narrator:
Wyatt Earp often was charged by his enemies with hating cowhands and bearing a grudge against them. Historians of the frontier have refuted this accusation, but it was a serious matter to Marshal Earp in 1876. Hundreds of cowhands made the town what R.M. Wright, a local diarist, called 'The Cowboy Capital.' Marshal Earp and a handful of Deputies had a tough job keeping the peace in Dodge City. This meant daily clashes with cowhands, determined to celebrate their brief vacations from the hard work, the perils, and the loneliness of cattle raising.
