The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp is a television western series loosely based on the life of frontier marshal Wyatt Earp. The half-hour black-and-white program aired for 229 episodes on ABC from 1955 to 1961 and featured Hugh O'Brian in the title role.

Legend and fabrication built Wyatt Earp into one of the most recognizable names in American history. Next came the challenge of finding the real Earp, the man beyond the legend and the truth about what occurred in those cowtowns and mining camps across the West. Hart dedicated his next movie, 1923’s Wild Bill Hickok to Masterson.

This is truly a wonderful show! If you love classic black and white westerns then you can't go wrong with this one. To me what makes this show great is the fact that it follows the life of Wyatt Earp and his career in Law Enforcement in the correct chronological order starting in Ellsworth, Kansas and ending with the Gunfight At The OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona.

8. Doc Holliday saved Wyatt’s life in Dodge City. In the summer of 1878, Doc Holliday and Big Nose Kate, said to be his wife, arrived in Dodge City intent on relieving the cowboys who had recently arrived at the end of a cattle drive of their hard-earned wages. Kate was a prostitute and Holliday a gambler.

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp is the first Western television series written for adults, premiering four days before Gunsmoke on September 6, 1955. Two weeks later came the Clint Walker western Cheyenne. The series is loosely based on the life of frontier marshal Wyatt Earp.

30. The Cowboy’s struck back by ambushing the Earps. Virgil Earp was ambushed in the streets of Tombstone just after Christmas, 1881, with a shotgun blast to the back. He survived, though crippled. In January Wyatt requested an appointment as a deputy US Marshal, which he received near the end of the month.
