Josephine was a Jewish girl from New York who won the heart of Wyatt Earp. His common law wife for nearly 50 years, Josephine was the woman who sparked the world's most famous gunfight, the one who buried her husband in a Jewish cemetery after he died (in her bed) in 1929, and the one who shaped the legend of Wyatt Earp and the Wild West.
Ann's biography brings Josephine out of the shadows of history to tell her tale: a spirited and colorful tale of ambition, adventure, self-invention and devotion. Reflective of America itself, her story brings us from the postCivil War years to World War II, and from New York to the Arizona Territory to old Hollywood.
