The Earp Vendetta Ride was a deadly search by a federal posse led by Deputy U.S. Marshal Wyatt Earp for a loose confederation of outlaw "Cowboys" they believed had ambushed his brothers Virgil and Morgan Earp, maiming the former and killing the latter. The two Earp brothers had been attacked in retaliation for the deaths of three Cowboys in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881.

  • The Earp Vendetta Ride was a deadly search by a federal posse led by Deputy U.S. Marshal Wyatt Earp for a loose confederation of outlaw "Cowboys" they believed had ambushed his brothers Virgil and Morgan Earp, maiming the former and killing the latter. The two Earp brothers had been attacked in retaliation for the deaths of three Cowboys in the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881. From March 20 to April 15, 1882, the federal posse searched southeast Cochise County, Arizona Territory for the men they believed were responsible for the attacks on Virgil and Morgan. Several suspects had been identified and were charged, but were soon released by the court, owing in some cases to legal technicalities and in others to the strength of alibis provided by Cowboy confederates. Wyatt hoped that the legal system would bring the Cowboys to justice, but after suspects in both ambushes were freed, Wyatt resolved to take matters into his own hands. On March 20, two days after Morgan's murder, Wyatt Earp and his brothers Warren and James along with Doc Holliday, and two other deputies were escorting Virgil and his wife Allie to a California-bound train in Tucson. They learned that suspects Ike Clanton and Frank Stilwell were already waiting there. After Virgil, Allie, and James boarded the train, Wyatt spotted two men near the train that he thought were Clanton and Stilwell. He and several men chased down and killed Stilwell, but lost the other. After Stilwell's body was found the next morning, the Tucson Justice of the Peace issued arrest warrants for the five lawmen suspected of the extra-judicial murder. When the men returned to Tombstone, Cochise County Sheriff Johnny Behan had received a telegram notifying him of the Tucson warrants, and attempted to detain the five members of Earp's federal posse named in the warrants, but they ignored him. Still carrying arrest warrants for Curly Bill Brocius and others, they left Tombstone to pursue further Cowboys implicated in the attacks. Behan formed a Cochise County sheriff's posse consisting of deputies Phineas Clanton, Johnny Ringo, and about twenty other Cowboys and Arizona ranchers. Based on the local warrants, they followed the Earp posse and set out to arrest them. The large sheriff's posse came close to, but never engaged, the much smaller Earp posse, which received help from local businessmen and ranchers (and at one point, published a letter in a Tombstone newspaper taunting Behan and his men). The federal posse ultimately killed four men, starting with Stilwell and ending with Brocius. About April 15 the Earps and some of their associates rode out of Arizona Territory, headed for New Mexico Territory. (en)
  • La Vendetta degli Earp (Earp Vendetta Ride in lingua inglese) è stato un insieme di scontri a fuoco tra tutori della legge, provenienti da diverse giurisdizioni dell'Arizona, passati alla storia come la Guerra dell'Arizona o Guerra della Contea di Cochise. La "Vendetta" coprì un arco di tre settimane, dal 20 marzo al 15 aprile 1882, e vide scontrarsi bande di figure leggendarie del "Selvaggio West": lo sceriffo Wyatt Earp, i banditi Johnny Ringo e William Brocius della banda dei Cowboys, il pistolero Doc Holliday. Nella cultura western statunitense, questa serie di scontri venne romanticizzata come l'"Ultima cavalcata di Wyatt Earp e dei suoi Immortali" (The Last Charge of Wyatt Earp and his Immortals), da cui il nome "Vendetta degli Earp". Episodio scatenante della "Vendetta", maturata fin dal 1881 a seguito della faida tra gli Earp e la banda dei Cowboys innescata dalla famosa sparatoria all'O.K. Corral, fu l'omicidio del vice-sceriffo Morgan Earp, freddato in una sala da biliardo di Tombstone (Arizona) il 18 marzo 1882. Alcuni mesi prima, il fratello maggiore di Morgan, lo sceriffo Virgil Earp, era stato a sua volta oggetto di un tentativo di omicidio, a cui era scampato ma aveva dovuto subire l'amputazione di un braccio. Dopo la morte di Morgan, i fratelli Wyatt e Warren Earp formarono una banda comprendente i pistoleri Doc Holliday, Sherman McMasters, "Turkey Creek" Jack Johnson, "Texas Jack" Vermillion e, per un certo periodo, . Non è ancora stata chiarita l'eventuale partecipazione di , , e . Contro gli Earp si mosse lo sceriffo della Contea di Cochise, Johnny Behan, unitamente ad una ventina di cowboys e pistoleri della banda dei Cowboys tra cui il noto criminale Johnny Ringo. Le due fazioni non arrivarono mai ad uno scontro diretto: la banda di Behan, nonostante la superiorità numerica, non affrontò mai la banda degli Earp. Questi ultimi ricevettero assistenza da un allevatore, Henry Hooker, che fornì loro vettovaglie. Gli scontri a fuoco accertati, occorsi durante la "Vendetta", ebbero luogo il 20 e 24 marzo, quando gli Earp uccisero Frank Stilwell a Tucson. La cavalcata di Wyatt Earp terminò il 15 aprile, quando la banda degli Earp lasciò l'Arizona e riparò in Colorado. La "Vendetta" dimostrò in modo inequivocabile l'inadeguatezza del sistema dei law enforcement in forza lungo le frontiere del Selvaggio West. Durante le operazioni, lo sceriffo federale Wyatt Earp si mosse dietro lo scudo di un mandato federale di cattura per "Curly Bill" Brocius. Brocius ed altri tre uomini vennero uccisi né gli Earp si mostrarono minimamente interessati a prendere prigionieri. Dall'altra parte del fronte, la banda comandata dallo sceriffo federale Johnny Behan comprendeva noti fuorilegge della banda dei Cowboys e non aveva compreso lo sceriffo della Contea di Pima , l'unico avente vera giurisdizione in merito alle morti di Tucson.
