There's an old saying, credited to the Old West writer Ned Buntline: "If the myth conflicts with the reality, print the myth." He is also credited with making Bill Cody and other Old West characters famous. http://www.xphomestation.com/nbuntline.html

Are you saying that Wyatt Earp and the other famous Old West gunmen weren't really famous? That it's just a myth that they were famous?
