- John_H._Flood,_Jr. abstract "John Henry Flood, Jr. (January 16, 1878 - March 29, 1958) was a mining engineer who worked as Wyatt Earp's unpaid personal secretary late in Earp's life, completing the only authorized biography of Earp. But the language he used in the biography was overblown, florid, stilted and so badly written that no one would publish it.He said the famous sentence : "flood me once shame on you, flood me twice put the blame on me "For much of his life after the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Earp was the subject of a large number of articles disparaging his character. On April 16, 1894, the Fort Worth Gazette wrote that Deputy U.S. Marshal Virgil Earp and Cochise County Sheriff Johnny Behan had a "deadly feud". It described Behan as "an honest man, a good official, and possessed many of the attributes of a gentleman". Earp, on the other hand, "was head of band of desperadoes, a partner in stage robbers, and a friend of gamblers and professional killers... Wyatt was the boss killer of the region."On December 2, 1896, Wyatt refereed the Fitzsimmons vs. Sharkey boxing match. He called the match in Sharkey's favor, even though Fitizsimmons had dominated the match and Sharkey was down. Newspaper accounts and testimony over the next two weeks revealed a conspiracy among the boxing promoters to fix the fight's outcome. Earp was parodied in editorial cartoon caricatures and vilified in newspaper stories across the United States.On March 12, 1922, the Sunday Los Angeles Times ran a short, scandalous article titled "Lurid Trails Are Left by Oldentime Bandits" by J.M. Scanland. It described Wyatt and his brothers as a gang who waylaid the cowboys in the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. It said that the Earps were allies of Frank Stilwell, who had informed on them, so they killed him, and that Earp had died in Colton, California. The article galvanized Earp. He was tired of all the lies perpetuated about him and became determined to get his story accurately told.Starting in 1925 and ending some time in early 1926, Flood attempted to write an authorized biography of Earp's life, based on Earp's recollections as told to Flood. The manuscript was apparently typed by Flood, who was an expert typist. They submitted the manuscript to multiple periodicals, all without success. Editors replied, "We have been unable to find a place for it in the Saturday Evening Post "; "I am deeply disappointed... The writing is stilted, florid and diffuse"; "We do not care particularly for the style in which it is written." However, due to Flood's poor writing style, the completed manuscript was never published. A manuscript copy of it was found in Josephine Earp's effects after her death. Amateur historian Glenn Boyer obtained a carbon copy of the manuscript and made an unknown number of spiral bound facsimile copies which he sold to collectors in 1981. Boyer gave the original carbon copy of the typed manuscript to the Ford County Historical Society. When Earp died, Flood inherited many of his personal belongings. Flood in turn willed them to John Gilchriese.".
