Wish I had a dollar for every time someone asked me what gun Wyatt Earp used in the Gunfight Behind the O.K. Corral.

The biggest misconception about Wyatt is that he was a glory-seeking, big-mouthed braggart.

If you ask me, Glenn Boyer never made the most of his many gifts and opportunities.

He could have been a bright light in the field, but he chose another path.

Nobody can touch Western writers Gary L. Roberts, Jack Burrows, John Boessenecker and Robert K. DeArment.

For my money the best Western ever is ’s Curse of the Undead.

I’m working on a video project with interviews of folks who actually knew Wyatt and Josephine Earp, who tell their memories on camera.

I am working with Pam Potter, Jeff Wheat and Tom Gaumer to complete it.

The hardest part of conducting good research is long road trips and cheap motels. And John Boessenecker can find the cheapest.

Don’t get me started on the “Toward a New Western History” movement.
