Louisa Earp
We have heard plenty about the Earp Men so far, but not so much about the ladies. Louisa Earp was Morgan Earp’s Wife. Behind every great man, there is a woman, and that’s exactly what the case for Morgan Earp.
Although they seemed to be the perfect couple, no one really knew that they got married.
Wyatt Earp
Who can forget Wyatt Earp? Yes, he is a real person, and he was a good friend of Doc Holliday. .
In the old west, he was known as a proficient gambler, but even though he was known for that, he still had a normal day job as a deputy sheriff in Arizona.
Soiled Doves
The old west was filled with Prostitutes and elite madams. In fact, some of them were so successful and popular among the crowd, that they ended up becoming millionaires.
Despite the harsh conditions they had to endure, these women came from all parts of the world to do what they are known for.
