 In reviewing Allen Barra 's Inventing Wyatt Earp . His Life and Many Legends , William Urban , a Professor of History at Monmouth College in Warren County , Illinois , pointed out a number of factual inaccuracies in the book . One inconsistency by Barra pointed out by another reviewer includes a description of the poker game the night before the shootout . Ike Clanton 's account of the game ( the only one that exists ) gives the participants as John Behan , Virgil Earp , Ike Clanton , Tom McLaury , and a fifth man Ike did not recognize , while Barra wrote the Holliday had attended the game .

 As a result , other works by Boyer were subsequently questioned . His book , Wyatt Earp 's Tombstone Vendetta , published in 1993 , was according to Boyer based on an account written by a previously unknown Tombstone journalist that he named " Theodore Ten Eyck " , but whose identity could not be independently verified . Boyer claimed that the manuscript was " clearly authentic " and that it contained " fascinating revelations ( if they are true ) and would make an ace movie " . Boyer later said the character was in fact a blend of " scores of accounts " , but could not provide any sources .

 John Romulus Brinkley ( later John Richard Brinkley ; July 8 , 1885 – May 26 , 1942 ) was a controversial American who fraudulently claimed to be a medical doctor ( he had no legitimate medical education and bought his medical degree from a " diploma mill " ) who became known as the " goat @-@ gland doctor " after he achieved national fame , international notoriety and great wealth through the xenotransplantation of goat testicles into humans . Although initially Brinkley promoted this procedure as a means of curing male impotence , eventually he claimed that the technique was a virtual panacea for a wide range of male ailments . He operated clinics and hospitals in several states , and despite the fact that almost from the beginning , detractors and critics in the medical community thoroughly discredited his methods , he was able to continue his activities for almost two decades . He was also , almost by accident , an advertising and radio pioneer who began the era of Mexican border blaster radio . Although he was stripped of his license to practice medicine in Kansas and several other states , Brinkley , a demagogue beloved by hundreds of thousands of people in Kansas and elsewhere , nevertheless launched two campaigns for Kansas governor , one of which might have been successful had it not been for widespread ballot tampering by his opponents . Brinkley 's rise to fame and fortune was as precipitous as his eventual fall : At the height of his career he had amassed millions of dollars ; yet he died sick and nearly penniless , as a result of the large number of malpractice , wrongful death and fraud suits brought against him .

 Wyatt was an itinerant saloonkeeper , cardsharp , gunman , bigamist , church deacon , policeman , bunco artist , and a supreme confidence man . A lifelong exhibitionist ridiculed alike by members of his own family , neighbors , contemporaries , and the public press , he lived his last years in poverty , still vainly trying to find someone to publicize his life , and died two years before his fictitious biography recast him in the role of America 's most famous frontier marshal .
