Epitaph: A Novel of the O.K. Corral by Mary Doria Russell

4.0

100 pages read - no gunfight at the O.K. Corral.

200 pages read - no gunfight at the O.K. Corral

300 pages read - no gunfight at the O.K. Corral

397 pages read - Finally! A gunfight at the O.K. Corral

Page 398 - Gunfight at the O.K. Corral is over. Still another 180 pages of reading until end of book.

"Epitaph: A Novel of the O.K. Corral" is quite a misleading title. I'd suggest "Epitaph: A Novel of Wyatt, Virgil, James, Morgan, and Warren Earp, Josephine Marcus, John Henry "Doc" Holiday, Johnny Behan, Allie "Pickle" Sullivan", Mattie Blaylock, Lou Houston, Bessie Earp, Kate Harony, Frank and Tommy McLaury, "Old Man" Clanton and his boys Ike and Billy, Johnny Ringo, and the gunfight at the O.K. Corral."

That said, this is an entertaining read about the Old West and its most famous lawman Wyatt Earp.
