- Wyatt Earp: [Opening Narration] Marriages between white men and Indian girls happened rarely, even on the Kansas frontier of 1877. Despite the sentimental guff written about 'squaw men', the strongest barriers in such marriages was the sacrifice demanded on any Indian who dared to marry a white man. Fighting tribes like the Apaches, the Sioux and the Cheyenne greeted such romances with deadly anger. Marshal Earp would rather face a great gunman than become involved with a white husband and an Indian wife.
