The last known photo of Wyatt Earp, taken on January 11, 1929. By then, the most famous lawman of the Old West had outlived the gunfights, the headlines, and nearly everyone who once knew him. Two days later, on January 13, 1929, Earp died at age 80 from cystitis. No shootout. No dramatic ending. Just a man who became a legend, sitting at the end of a long life, and then gone. | Arno Betts
