About the Author:

Matt Braun is a fourth-generation Westerner, steeped in the tradition and lore of the frontier era. His books reflect a heritage rich with the truths of that bygone time. Raised among the Cherokee and Osage tribes, Braun learned their traditions and culture, and their philosophy became the foundation of his own beliefs. Like his ancestors, he has spent most of his life wandering the mountains and plains of the West. His heritage and his contribution to Western literature resulted in his appointment by the Governor of Oklahoma as a Territorial Marshal.

Braun is the author of more than forty novels and four nonfiction works including Black Fox, which was made into a CBS miniseries, and One Last Town, which was made into a TNT movie called You Know My Name. Western Writers of America awarded Braun the prestigious Golden Spur Award for The Kincaids. He is also the recipient of the Cowboy Spirit Award and was inducted into the Cowboy Hall of Fame in 1999.

From AudioFile:

WYATT EARP is based on chronicles, court records and recollections of an October day in 1881. Sheppard reads the characters' parts with vigor and diversity. The consistent, dramatic pacing increases the suspense of this romantic, violent tale. After the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday gun down Billy Clanton and Tom and Frank McLaury at the OK Corral, the Earps begin a downward spiral. Wyatt's dreams of success in politics and business are pushed aside for revenge. What will come of Wyatt's affair with Sadie, and who else dies before Christmas? As usual, romance plays a major role in this Western. S.C.A. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
