The Legend Of Virgil Earp: The Lawyer Tamed The Old West.
The Old West is a lawless and dangerous place where gunmen, outlaws and bandits rule the land.
But in the midst of this chaos, a few brave men stood up to restore order and enforce justice. One of these heroes is Virgil Earp, a legendary lawyer who played a key role in taming the Wild West.
Although he is often overshadowed by his younger brother Wyatt, Virgil's legacy as a lawyer and peacekeeper is no less remarkable.
Virgil Earp was born in Hartford, Kentucky, on July 18, 1843, to Nicholas Earp and Virginia Ann Cooksey. He is the second son of the couple.
As a teenager, Virgil and his family moved to Pella, Iowa, where he met Dutch immigrant first love Magdalena C. "Ellen" Rysdam. Despite Ellen's parents' objections, Virgil and Ellen ran away on September 21, 1861, and remained together.
During the Civil War, Virgil Earp joined the Union Army at the age of 18. He served in the 83rd Illinois Army from July 26, 1862 to June 24, 1865.
On January 7, 1862, Virgil Earp and Ellen Rysdam welcomed their first daughter, whom they named Nellie Jane Earp. Sadly, their happiness was short-lived.
When Nellie was two weeks old, Virgil was called to serve in the Civil War, leaving Ellen to care for their baby alone. In the summer of 1863, Ellen received bad news that Virgil had died in battle. She remarried soon after to a man named John Van Rossem, and the couple moved with Nellie to the Oregon Territory.
When Virgil was discharged from the army on June 26, 1865, he returned home to Pella, Iowa, to find that his wife and daughter had disappeared. They moved West to San Bernardino, California, with Ellen's new husband...
