The 1967 film, Hour of the Gun, which stars James Garner as Wyatt Earp, is centered on the vendetta ride.
On March 20, 2005, the 122nd anniversary of the killing of Frank Stilwell, a life-sized statue of Holliday and Earp by the sculptor Dan Bates was dedicated by the Southern Arizona Transportation Museum at the restored Historic Railroad Depot in Tucson, Arizona, at the approximate site of the shooting on the train platform.
Wyatt Earp later claimed that "Doc and I were the only ones in Tucson at the time Frank Stilwell was killed".

Long after the gunfight, Johnny Behan continued to spread rumors about the Earps.
On December 7, 1897, he was quoted in a story in the Washington Post, reprinted by the San Francisco Call, describing the Earp's lawbreaking behavior in Tombstone.
After referring to the highly controversial Fitzsimmons-Sharkey fight for which Wyatt Earp was referee, the article quoted Behan:
The Clanton brothers and the McLowrys were a tough lot of rustlers who were the main perpetrators of the rascailly rife in that region.
Between them and Earps rose a bitter feud over the division of the proceeds of the looting.
The Earp boys believed they had failed to get a fair divide of the booty and swore vengeance.
They caught their former allies in Tombstone unarmed and shot three of them dead while their hands were uplifted."
Behan went on to say, "They were hauled up before a Justice of the Peace... Warrants were issued for their arrest, and, summoning a posse, I went out to bring the Earps in.
They were chased entirely out of the country and Tombstone knew them no more.

Wyatt's action in taking justice into his own hands became one of the most well known examples of American frontier justice in American history.
Wyatt Earp became the archetypal image of a real-life anti-hero.

In 1927, Earp defended his decisions before the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and afterward to Stuart Lake, author of the 1931 largely fictionalized biography, Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal:
For my handling of the situation at Tombstone, I have no regrets.
Were it to be done over again, I would do exactly as I did at that time.
If the outlaws and their friends and allies imagined that they could intimidate or exterminate the Earps by a process of murder, and then hide behind alibis and the technicalities of the law, they simply missed their guess.
I want to call your particular attention again to one fact, which writers of Tombstone incidents and history apparently have overlooked: with the deaths of the McLowerys, the Clantons, Stillwell, Florentino Cruz, Curly Bill, and the rest, organized, politically protected crime, and depredations in Cochise County ceased.
