BREAKENRIDGE, William “Billy” (1846-1931) was an American lawman, teamster, railroader, soldier and author. He was assistant Tombstone City Marshal in the Arizona Territory when the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral took place. In 1928, he became a published author with the release of his memoirs of life in Tombstone and the old west, Helldorado: Bringing the Law to the Mesquite. Critics of the book, including Wyatt Earp and his wife Josie, claimed that much of what Breakenridge wrote was biased and more fiction than factual. Although Breakenridge met with Earp in Los Angeles to interview him, the picture he painted of Earp was less than flattering. Signed Book, “Cordially yours, William M. Breckenridge,” on loose front fly of hardbound, 1st edition of “Helldorado Bringing the Law to the Mesquite”, 1928, 256pp. Dark signature, book is slightly loose, VG.
