Featured in this lot is this Wyatt Earp personal photograph "Tombstone Parade 2nd & Fremont" circa 1884; Provenance: From the Tombstone Western Heritage Museum in Tombstone, Arizona. This is a personal photograph attributed to being taken by Wyatt Earp by the professionals at Tombstone Western Heritage Museum and shows a parade in Tombstone at 2nd and Fremont in 1884. The photograph shows the parade progressing foward with men of note walking in the parade with children playing and wagons with American flags following the procession. The back of the photograph is marked as follows: 2nd & Fremont - Wyatt Earp Photo. Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp (March 19, 1848 – January 13, 1929) was an American lawman in the American West, including Dodge City, Deadwood, and Tombstone. Earp was involved in the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, during which lawmen killed three outlaw Cochise County Cowboys. While Wyatt is often depicted as the key figure in the shootout, his brother Virgil was both Deputy U.S. Marshal and Tombstone City Marshal that day and had considerably more experience in law enforcement as a sheriff, constable, and marshal than did Wyatt. Virgil made the decision to enforce a city ordinance prohibiting carrying weapons in town and to disarm the Cowboys. Wyatt was only a temporary assistant marshal to his brother. The photograph comes complete with an original museum tag that reads as follows: Wyatt Earp's personal photo of a parade in Tombstone at 2nd and Fremont 1884. The condition of this Wyatt Earp personal photograph is well preserved with some fading or over exposure due to age but otherwise shows a well preserved condition. The measurements of this photograph is 5 1/8" x 7". P-121
