Best presentation on Earp ive seen.Never got the last quot by his last deputy tho.
Thanks, Todd. The lighting was not user friendly for those on you tube, so here is that quote from Arthur King: “Earp … a very quiet fellow, a fine man, one of the coolest … afraid of nothing.”
I read all three books that Mark wrote and his research was spot on, you actually feel that Mark was present in Wichita, Dodge, and then Tombstone! Adobe Moon, Born To The Badge, and Promised Land are the three best books on Wyatt I have ever read and I highly recommend you buy them and enjoy them as I have! Thank you Mark Warren.
Gary, thank you for the high praise. Every author's "favorite moment." It's nice to be appreciated.
Excellent presentation of the man, the myth the legend
Thank you, Mike.
Im 6'2" when i stand next to someone that is 5'8" they are small , but when i stand next to a person that is 6'4" i feel small. And thats only 2" difference. Im not used to seeing people taller then me. Its just perception.
Right. And the concept can get complicated. If you were in a saloon and Pat Garrett walked in wearing his buffalo coat, you might have felt small. Until he took off his coat.
I love to read love western history depression Era outlaw history and tried to write a book and create my own characters after a few weeks I realized I was just to fuckin stupid to do it I'm just gonna stick to reading
Audio is only on left side.
We understand it was not perfect. This was not a planned record session. We only had a camcorder with a lapel mic. The sound system in the building was horrible, which the mic was also hearing. Editing it out only went so far. The opportunity was there to video Mark, Ken Burns was not available, so we took it.
in describing wyatt as a large man at six feet tall and 160 lbs. you said the average size back then was five feet six inches and 140 lbs. I don't know about that. Billy the kid was always described as five feet six and about 130-135 lbs. and was always looked on as small and physically weak by people who knew him . how do you reconcile these size descriptions ?
I will ask Mark to respond.
Remember that the figures I gave are an average. That means that there were men who exceeded those stats and others who fell short. As you described, Billy was under both marks, which makes him less than average. That would have allowed an observer to say that he was small. He was not built strong but had a lithe kind of athleticism, like a cat. Judging by the one authentic image we have of him, I think he carried some weight in his hips to reach that 130 pound mark. Which might mean that the meat or his torso was a bit lacking. Because he did not present an impressive muscular body (in appearance), the word "small" might have rung true once again. His hands were small too. Billy is another interest of mine. What I would give to sit around a campfire with him one night. I would be the big guy at 30 pounds heavier, 5 inches taller, and a college degree, but his stories would outnumber mine by a thousand. More interesting too.
