...that the Earps were by no means the altruistic preservers of public safety that Wyatt in particular made them (and himself) out to be. Certainly the indications are strong that the "Gunfight at the OK Corral" was more of a rumble between rival gangs, in which the winning side happened to be wearing badges, than a confrontation of white hats vs. black hats.
