WYATT EARP'S HOME
Earp, California
Wyatt Earp lived in this house with his wife around
the close of World War One. Wyatt worked a mine in
the Whipple Mountain District and hauled ore to the
river boats in the wagon that stands alongside the old
building. Wyatt spent more time as a miner than as
a law man. He did well in Alaska and did some mining
in Goldfield. He worked for Tex Rickard as a gambler
and floor boss. This little town was called Drennan on
the California side of the Colorado River. The name
was changed to Earp after Wyatt's death. There is
another Earp house in the nearby town of Vidal. There
are a great number of camps along the river on both
the Arizona and California side. . . . M.P.
