Wyatt Earp: A Man Not to Be Trifled With

Wyatt Earp, a friend of Doc Holliday, was a sheriff in Arizona who also indulged in gambling. He gained fame after the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, where he killed three cowboys.

Described by a local newspaper as an "old offender," Earp was not just a lawman but also a gambler, brothel owner, and miner. He might be considered one of America's first true entrepreneurs given his diverse business ventures.
