Warren Earp

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Baxter Warren Earp (March 9, 1855 - July 6, 1900) was the youngest brother of Wyatt, Morgan, Virgil, James, and Newton Earp. Like most of his brothers he was a lawman in the American West.Warren, as he was more commonly known, was born in Pella, Iowa. Little is known about his early life. Like Wyatt and Morgan, he was too young to take part in the American Civil War, as his older brothers James, Newton and Virgil did. He joined his brothers in Tombstone, Arizona in 1880, and worked as a deputy for Virgil during the months that followed. His older brothers had already established a profitable gambling business, and were well established in the law enforcement duties of Tombstone by that time. He did not take part in the Gunfight at the OK Corral (Lake's biography of Wyatt Earp states that Warren was in Colton, California visiting his parents at the time).
