On this episode of Our American Stories, for nearly fifty years, Josephine Marcus Earp stood beside one of the most famous lawmen of the Old West. But she was more than Wyatt Earp’s wife. She helped shape how his story would be told. Historian Ann Kirschner, author of Lady at the O.K. Corral, shares the story of a Jewish immigrant who chased adventure across the frontier and worked quietly to turn Wyatt Earp into a national legend.
