American Myths
Wyatt Earp famously delivered justice the American way—except it’s all a lie, says biographer Andrew Isenberg.
Andrew C. Isenberg is a historian at Temple University, and the author of Mining California: An Ecological History and The Destruction of the Bison: An Environmental History, 1750–1920, and the editor of The Nature of Cities: Culture, Landscape, and Urban Space. His most recent book, Wyatt Earp: A Vigilante Life, is out now from Hill and Wang.
