The bibliography and content should be updated on Josephine Earp. A rather thorough biography was written in 2013 by Ann Kirschner called Lady at the O.K. Corral. Your article primarily uses documentation from Glenn Boyer. He may have been truthful, but his accounts are in dispute, so it might be good for someone to read the Kirschner book and compare it to Boyer's and the "autobiography," which is also in dispute. I think personally that Josie was complicated, and extremely loyal to Wyatt. She didn't seem to care much about being Jewish until perhaps the end of her life, when she most likely "adjusted" her past. Responding to "sportzbiker," there was no evidence that she became a prostitute, and certainly not when she was 14. She didn't run from home until she was 18. And, from what I remember of the Kirschner book, there was evidence found of her being part of the Gilbert and Sullivan troupe that she said she had joined. She never claimed to be a singer, yet at least one movie portrays her as a singer in the troupe. Most likely, she had a bit part as the Cabin Boy in one production that traveled for a time. It is said she could dance the part late in her life. Anyway, that's my two cents on this. This needs to be updated.
