Most readers of the Wild West know Wyatt Earp, Virgil Earp,
and Morgan Earp for the famous shootout on the streets of
Tombstone, Arizona. But few know the later years of the closeknit
Earp family, which revolved around patriarch Nicholas
Earp, and their last push at a major monetary coup in Los
Angeles.By 1900 a newly established Old Soldiers’
Home was in place at Sawtelle (between Santa Monica and
Los Angeles), with thousands of veterans earning monthly
pensions, but in an environment where alcohol was prohibited.
Enter the Earps and their “blind pig” (illicit
alcohol sales) scheme. Two of the Earps, Nicholas and son
Newton, were enrolled in the Soldiers’ Home, and
Newton’s far more famous half-brothers Wyatt and
Virgil showed up from time to time, but the star of the operation
was older brother James.Booze would flow, the pension
money would be “dispersed about,” and jails
were sometimes filled, as the Earps and several other men on
the make competed for the veterans’ money. We are
also reintroduced to Old West figures such as
“Gunfighter Surgeon” Dr. George Goodfellow,
“Silver Tongued Orator” Thomas Fitch,
millionaire George Hearst, detective J.V. Brighton, Lucky
Baldwin, and many other well-known westerners who touched
the lives of the Earps.
