Buffalo Creek Law Dog Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 My brother-in-law gave me a book on John Behan for my birthday. Interesting that it was written by a Canadian who just happens to reside 14 miles from our place. It is called "Westport's Tarnished Star" by Annette Gray (320 pages) and is in defense of John Behan, as she was tired of all the miss-truths about him. She spent a lot of time on researching it as she lists 6 1/4 pages of sources. Most of her time was spent in Arizona and Missouri researching it. Now, the tidbit is that Kurt Russell (Wyatt Earp) always called Behan, "Sheriff Be-han" when it is correctly pronounced 'Bean or been' and that the H is silent. If interested, the book can be obtained from Singing Winds Book Shop Box 2197 Benson, Arizona 85602 (502) 586-2425 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joke 'um Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Maybe Wyatt was prodding the sheriff. Mispronouncing a name repeatedly can be a very irritating back door insult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Behan was shacking up with Josie so maybe Wyatt was trying to get under his skin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
