This is the story of such a boy who never quite finds all those answers. But because of his physicality, confidence, and a willingness to exercise deliberate courage, he does find his place in a life much admired by his peers. His name will always be spoken anytime that a conversation arises about justice vs. law and order . . . and how those American commodities do not always balance on the scales of a courtroom bench. His name was Wyatt Earp. Earp was many things--farmer, freight hauler, stage driver, railroad wrangler, husband, constable, wood splitter, accused horse thief, brothel bouncer, buffalo hunter, gambler, and lawman-most of this in the "new" and raw land of America' s untapped West. The possibilities seemed endless for Wyatt, but he will be remembered in that last category . . . peace officer, a role he did not want. Instead, it would seem that history wanted it for him. He was that good at it.
It is plain Mark Warren knows Wyatt Earp' s story in ways that few others do. In the restless ramblings of the young Wyatt, Warren found clues to the man Earp would be . . . now, I have much to ponder as a result of reading [The Long Road to Legend]. --Gary Roberts, author of Doc Holliday, the Life and Legend Mark Warren is the first writer to illuminate the Earp story from the inside. --Allen Barra, author of Inventing Wyatt Earp, his Life and Many Legends Warren stays close to history [in] this wonderfully written work. Historical fiction can be a delight, and Warren delivers. --Casey Tefertiller, author of Wyatt Earp, the Life Behind the Legend
