In 1881, a 30-second gunfight in Tombstone, Arizona made Wyatt Earp a legend of the Wild West. 

Earp was a gambler, a lawman, a fugitive, and later a showman who told his own legend for cash. 

So who fired first at the OK Corral, and how did Hollywood turn a frontier opportunist into a symbol of American justice?
