S. J. Reidhead, author of "Travesty: Frank Waters Earp Agenda Exposed", spent nearly a decade searching for Water's original manuscript, researching him, his background, and his bias against the Earps. In doing so, the author discovered that the story Waters presented against the Earps was primarily fictitious. "Nothing is documented," she wrote. "There are no notes nor sourcing. There is only the original "Tombstone Travesty" manuscript and the final "Earp Brothers of Tombstone". Because of his later reputation, few writers, even today, dare question Waters' motives. They also do not bother fact checking the "Earp Brothers of Tombstone", which is so inaccurate it should be considered fiction, rather than fact."
