Wyatt Earp had a limited formal education, typical of many individuals in the 19th century. He attended school intermittently during his childhood but left at a young age to help support his family. Earp was more influenced by practical experiences and the rugged environment of the American West than by formal schooling, which shaped his skills as a lawman and businessman.
Wyatt Earp lived in several states throughout his life, including Illinois, Kansas, Arizona, and California. He was born in Illinois and spent significant time in Kansas during his early years. His most famous period was in Tombstone, Arizona, where he was involved in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Earp also resided in California later in his life, contributing to his diverse geographical history.

Wyatt Earp had a total of three wives. His first was Urilla Sutherland who died early in his marriage. His second wife was Mattie Blaylock, who became addicted to pain killer medicine (laudanum); she was considered by some to be his lover and not actual wife though an1880 census listed her as Earp's wife. Finally, his third wife till he died was Josephine Marcus, who's knowledge of Mattie Blaylock's place in Wyatt's life was concealed as she worked hard to protect her and Wyatt's reputation in their later years.
Wyatt Earp did not die a rich man, although he experienced periods of financial success throughout his life. After his time in law enforcement and his involvement in the famous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Earp engaged in various business ventures, including mining and gambling. However, many of these ventures were not consistently profitable, and he faced financial challenges later in life. By the time of his death in 1929, Earp's wealth was modest compared to the larger-than-life persona he had cultivated.

Wyatt Earp is often associated with the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, but the exact number of people he killed during his lifetime is debated. Historical accounts suggest that he may have killed around 2 to 5 men in gunfights, primarily during his time as a lawman and in self-defense situations. However, the precise number is difficult to confirm due to the lack of detailed records from that era.

Yes, Wyatt Earp is often attributed with the saying, "Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything." This phrase emphasizes the importance of precision over mere speed, particularly in high-stakes situations like gunfights. While there's no definitive historical record of him saying this exact phrase, it reflects the ethos of many gunfighters of his era. The quote has become well-known in popular culture, symbolizing the balance between efficiency and accuracy.
His brothers names were James, Virgil and Morgan, Baxter Warren, and Newton, an elder half-brother from his father's first marriage. They are known for cracking down on the law. Wyatt is the most famous because of Dodge City where he was a lawman for many years. They are all famous for one thing standing up for the law.
First, it should be noted that there is a lot of conflicting information even to this day about which guns Wyatt Earp did and did not use. When an Arizona museum once claimed it owned the Colt .45 that Earp used, historians were skeptical; the gun in question was manufactured several years after the event, plus there is no concrete evidence (such as ownership records) tying Earp to that gun. We do know he probably owned a Schofield .44 Smith & Wesson revolver, a very popular gun at that time. But again, there is little reliable information, and lots of myth and legend, about which guns were used during the shoot-out at the OK Corral; and it is also worth noting that many historians believe the so-called "Buntline Special" with its 12-inch barrel is also a myth.
