Wyatt Earp in Nome

Wyatt (center) is flanked by Ed Englestadt on the left and John Clum on the right in this picture taken on the beach in Nome, Alaska in 1901. Wyatt spent several summers up there during the gold rush where he was part owner of the Dexter Saloon. John Clum was Tombstone's fourth mayor and was serving in this capacity at the time of the gunfight. The outlaws later tried to assassinate both him and Wyatt.
