Summary: Incredible Insight
Comment: "I Married Wyatt Earp" is not for those who are looking for a "shoot 'em up" historical biography. In fact the famed O.K. Corral gunfight is just a small portion of this book. However, if you are looking for incredible insight to what made Wyatt tick, what made Josie tick, what life was like during their era, and a very easy read then this is the book for you! Mr. Boyer is the only "historian/novelist" to have actually vistied with and received his information from the Earp family and friends as well as Josephine's family. This gives him an incredible edge over other so-called Earp historians and that is why anyone interested in the Earps needs to read this book and any other book in which Mr. Boyer graces us with.

Summary: Josie and Wyatt - A Love Story
Comment: This wonderfully written book should be read as two volumes. First, read through all of the footnotes and annotations - they are a wealth of information in themselves. Second, read through the story of a woman faithfully devoted to her husband.
We all view our loved ones as slightly brighter stars than the rest of the world. Josie's recollections are no different. With the wealth of Earp family knowledge Mr. Boyer has as a foundation, he has filled in the gaps in the memory of an aging woman to bring the real man - just a man - to a captivated and thankful audience. This is the first story that looks at Wyatt realistically as a man.
The crisp prose and clever witicisms make this reader feel like a grandchild sitting at Gramma Josie's feet hearing her tell stories about her beloved Wyatt. Mr. Boyer's writing makes her real to those of us who can only imagine what that time in history was like.
A must for any true western fan's collection - AND something you will want to read over again.

Summary: Outstanding
Comment: This is one of the best Western books on the market. It will be an enjoyable book for the enthusiast who is an avid reader of Old West literature, as well as someone who has never read an old Western book before.
Boyer tell the story from Josephine Earps eyes. It is excellently done, full of emotion, and the ending no will make many of the women cry, as Josie is beside Wyatt at his bedside when he dies.
There is a picture of Wyatt, Josie and their little dog. ( Wyatt loved animals)
I'm aware of the heated debate, concerning a few parties of the accuracy's of this book. ( I'm a Civil War buff, and we hear that all the time with Civil War books)
Nonetheless, if you love "Romance" stories, or good Westerns, you won't go wrong with this book.
